Privacy Policy

Effective starting date: 25th May 2018

This Cookie Policy (‘Policy’, henceforth) describes NovoEd’s (affiliates ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’, or ‘NovoEd’) cookie handling practices, and how we makes use of cookies to collect information that helps us improve your online experience.

These information are collected when you visit our website (https://NovoEd.com), any of our documents linked to this Policy, use our application, or even if you are visiting any of our client who are using our platform to power their site. The collected information may include personal information or other information considered personal, such as your browser details, the date and time of your visit, and even your Internet Protocol address.

The Policy covers in detail the technologies used by us, why we use them, and your rights to opt in or out of being tracked in your NovoEd account with cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded by the browser that you use to reach and use our service. These cookies collect, store, and share data of your activities across websites. They are mainly used to learn about your actions when you interact with the sites and services and “remember” you and your preferences, such as your preferred browser or language, either for a single visit (via a ‘session cookie’) or for multiple visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

We use both session-based and persistent cookies. Here’s what they are:

  • Session cookies are temporary and last only while your browser is open. They are deleted from your device when you leave the service.
  • Persistent cookies remain in your browser or device for a much longer time mostly until your browser deletes them or when they reach their expiry date, depending on the cookie. They are unique and allow us to perform site analytics and customization, among other similar things.

Cookies may be set by either the site that you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or by third parties, such as those who use our services (‘third party cookies’). More information on cookies can be found at www.aboutcookies.org.
