1. Introduction

1.1 TutorABC Limited ("we", "our" or "us") uses cookies on the TutorABC website (at join.tutorabc.com) and/or TutorABC mobile application (together, "TutorABC Platform"). The information set out in this policy is provided in addition to our privacy policy ("Privacy Policy"), and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy (https://join.tutorabc.com/privacypolicy/privacy.html).

1.2 Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide web services and functionalities for users. For example, they enable you to improve your experience on the TutorABC Platform and enable the TutorABC Platform to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, 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 TutorABC Platform or browse from one page to another.

1.3 You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit most of the TutorABC Platform.

In the majority of cases, a cookie does not provide us with any personal information.

1.3.1 Types of cookies

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. The TutorABC Platform uses both persistent and session cookies.

A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which allows us to collect and analyze (on an anonymous basis) traffic and use of the TutorABC Platform, monitor the system and improve operating performance, for example, store your preferences to enhance your subsequent visits. It will not be automatically deleted when the browser is closed but is stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).

A session cookie is essential to ensure the correct functioning of the TutorABC Platform and is used to manage registration/login and access to reserved features. It is stored temporarily during a browsing session will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. This TutorABC Platform uses both persistent and session cookies.

A complete list of the cookies we use is set out in the table at the end of this policy. This list (together with the rest of this policy) is subject to change from time to time.

1.3.2 Other tracking technologies

Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with the TutorABC Platform and services to, among other things, track the activities of visitors and users of TutorABC Platform, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of TutorABC Platform. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

Local Storage Objects. We may use Flash Local Storage Objects ("Flash LSOs") to store your preferences on TutorABC Platform and to personalize your visit. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of Flash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose "Global Storage Settings Panel" and follow the instructions. To see the Flash LSOs currently on your computer, choose "Website Storage Settings Panel" and follow the instructions to review and, if you choose, to delete any specific Flash LSO.

Third Party Ad Networks. We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on TutorABC Platform, third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This enables these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party's specific privacy or cookies policy, not this one.

1.3.3 Our use of cookies

We do not automatically capture or store personal information from browsers to the TutorABC Platform, other than to log your IP address (which in certain circumstances will be your personal data) and session information such as the duration of the visit to our site and the nature of the browser used. This information is used only for administration of the TutorABC Platform and in the compilation of statistics which we use for analysis in order to improve the TutorABC Platform and understand in general terms who uses our Website.

Cookies may be required to allow you to access and participate in certain areas of the TutorABC Platform. Once you have closed your browser, this type of cookie is deactivated. Like all cookies, you are able to remove or block particular cookies at any time (see below).

1.3.4 Your cookie choices

The majority of browsers will allow you to alter the settings used for cookies and to disable and enable them as you require.

You can reject all cookies (except strictly necessary cookies) in case you prefer not to receive them, and you can have your computer warn you whenever cookies are being used. You can delete the cookies that are already on your computer and you can set your browser to prevent them from being placed. Disabling cookies may, however, prevent some web services (including on TutorABC Platform) from working correctly. Please be aware that when you have set your computer to reject cookies, it can limit the functionality of the TutorABC Platform and it is possible then that you will not have access to some of the features on the TutorABC Platform.

Opting-out of Third Party Ad Networks. You have the ability to opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies' delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Website or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective.
