This document provides an in-depth look at how we use cookies to enhance your learning journey and protect your privacy. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this policy.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. These files contain data that helps enhance your online experience by keeping track of your interactions with the site. At Novumius Edge, we utilize cookies to ensure the smooth running of our website, remember your preferences, analyze traffic patterns, and personalize the content you see.
Strictly necessary cookies are vital for the basic functionalities of our online education platform. For instance, they enable essential features like user logins, maintaining session integrity, and providing access to course materials. Without these cookies, our platform wouldn't be able to function properly, affecting your ability to access lessons and assignments.
Moving on, performance and analytical cookies help us understand how you interact with our platform. By collecting data such as the pages you visit, the time spent on each page, and the devices you use, these cookies allow us to make informed decisions about improving site efficiency. For example, if we notice that certain pages load slowly for users, we can prioritize those for optimization to ensure a smoother experience.
We also use functional cookies to remember your personal settings and preferences. These might include your preferred language, theme, or specific learning paths you've customized. By storing this information, functional cookies help us provide a more tailored and engaging educational environment, making your interactions with Novumius Edge more enjoyable and effective.
Targeting and advertising cookies are less common but still valuable. These cookies allow us to deliver content and promotional material that aligns with your interests. For instance, if you're enrolled in a computer science course, you might see advertisements for advanced coding bootcamps or related study materials. This targeted approach ensures that you receive information relevant to your educational goals.

To enhance your experience on Novumius Edge, we integrate various third-party services that may set cookies on your device. These include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms, each serving different functions aimed at optimizing your learning journey.
Analytics providers collect data such as page views, user sessions, and interaction patterns. This information helps us understand how users navigate the site and identify areas for improvement. For instance, if an analytics provider shows that a particular module has a high bounce rate, we can investigate and make necessary adjustments to improve content engagement.
Advertising networks use cookies to deliver targeted advertisements. These cookies collect data about your browsing habits and preferences, enabling us to show ads that are relevant to your educational interests. For example, if you've shown interest in language courses, you might see ads for advanced language learning tools or related educational content.
Social media platforms integrate cookies to enable sharing and interaction functionalities.

We have established contractual and technical safeguards to protect data shared with third parties. This includes data processing agreements that outline specific privacy obligations and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
