What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:

Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They are simply text files that store information. Web servers can only retrieve information from cookies they themselves have stored, and other websites cannot access that data.

How We Use Cookies

StageCraft Academy uses cookies for several purposes, including:

  1. Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the operation of our Website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
  2. Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our Website works. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site.
  3. Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  4. Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

By analyzing the data collected through cookies, StageCraft Academy can optimize the user experience, personalize content, and improve the overall functionality of our Website.
