Cookie policy

On this website we collect and use information as indicated in our privacy policy. One of the ways we collect information is through the use of technology called “cookies”. At Pass Cambridge Exams, we use cookies for several things.

What is a cookie?

A ‘cookie’ is a small amount of text that is stored on your browser (e.g. Google’s Chrome or Apple’s Safari) when you browse most websites.

 

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, a trojan, a worm, a spam, a spyware, or a pop-up window.

 

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs or personal information, etc. The data they do store is of a technical nature, statistics, personal preferences, personalisation of content, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with the Chrome browser and try to browse the same website with the Firefox browser, you will see that the website does not realise that you are the same person because it is actually associating the information to the browser, not to the person.

 

What kind of cookies are there?

  • Technical Cookies: These are the most elementary and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user and a registered user are browsing, basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
  • Analysis cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products consulted, time of use, language, etc.
  • Advertising cookies: They show advertising according to your navigation, your country of origin, language, etc.

 

Cookies accepted by the regulations and except for cookies

According to the EU directive, the cookies that require the informed consent of the user are analytical cookies, and advertising and affiliation cookies, with the exception of those of a technical nature and those necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of services expressly requested by the user.

Below is information on the social network cookies used by this site in its own cookie policy:

AdWords cookie module

Advertising Cookies

We carry out remarketing actions using Google AdWords, which uses cookies to help us deliver targeted online advertising based on previous visits to our website. Google uses this information to display ads on various third-party websites across the Internet. These cookies are about to expire and do not contain any information that can identify you personally. Please refer to the Google advertising Privacy Notice for more information.

We carry out remarketing actions through Facebook ads, which uses cookies to help us deliver targeted online advertising based on previous visits to our website.

At Pass Cambridge Exams we manage our advertising campaigns using the DoubleClick tool which allows us to collect all information about our audience centrally. DoubleClick uses cookies to improve advertising. Cookies are commonly used to target ads based on content that is relevant to a user, improve campaign performance reporting, and avoid displaying ads that the user has already seen.

DoubleClick uses cookie IDs to keep track of which ads have been shown on certain browsers. At the time an ad is served on a browser, you can use that browser’s cookie ID to check which ads have already been served on that particular browser. This is how you avoid showing ads that you have already seen. Similarly, cookie IDs allow DoubleClick to record conversions for ad requests, such as when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and make a purchase.

As an Internet user, at any time you can proceed to delete the information regarding your browsing habits, and the related profile that has generated those habits, by accessing directly and free of charge to: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/preferences?hl=en. If a user disables this function, the unique DoubleClick cookie ID in the user’s browser is overwritten with the “OPT_OUT” phase. Because a unique cookie ID no longer exists, the disabled cookie cannot be associated with a particular browser.

Affiliation module

Affiliation Cookies
