Cookie Policy
Cookies are harmless text files that allow a website server to recognise you when you revisit the website. There are two main types of cookies:
Transient (or session) cookies.
These are set and exist for the duration of your visit to a specific website and are removed when you finish. They recognise you as you move, and navigate between, the different website pages so that you do not need to re-enter who you are and often can help to maintain your security.
Persistent (or permanent) cookies.
These remain on your computer until they expire or are deleted.
Many persistent cookies have automatic deletion dates to help ensure your computer doesn’t get overloaded with cookies. Persistent cookies will often retain previously entered information to ease and simplify subsequent data input. For example: your login user ID or email address.
Creative Education and many other websites use both types of cookies to make the process of visiting our website easier and more useful. We use both our own (first-party) and partner companies’ (third-party) cookies to facilitate and support a simpler and more secure website experience for our users.
