Introduction
Welcome to EduLegit! This Cookie Policy explains how System Technology Online Spain SL (“EduLegit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites, including without limitation https://edulegit.com and any associated web pages (collectively, the “Websites”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Websites owners widely use cookies to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, EduLegit) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer when it visits the website in question and certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
