1.3. This Policy is intended to supplement the Institute’s Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Accessibility Statement, Data Security & Compliance Page, and any student enrollment or program-specific policies. In the event of a conflict between this Policy and a more specific written agreement or legally required privacy notice, the more specific or legally controlling document shall govern solely with respect to the applicable subject matter.
1.4. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used in accordance with this Policy, subject to applicable law and your available privacy choices.
2. Nature of Cookies and Similar Technologies
2.1. Cookies are small data files placed on a device when a user visits a website. They may allow a website to recognize a device, maintain a session, remember preferences, measure usage, support security, or enable certain features. The Federal Trade Commission explains that websites and apps may use technologies such as cookies, pixels, device fingerprinting, and unique identifiers to track online activity and remember preferences. (Consumer Advice)
2.2. In addition to cookies, the Institute may use similar technologies, including web beacons, tracking pixels, scripts, tags, local storage objects, embedded content technologies, and analytics identifiers. These technologies may function differently but are collectively referred to in this Policy as “cookies” or “tracking technologies” unless otherwise stated.
2.3. Cookies may be “session cookies,” which expire when a browser session ends, or “persistent cookies,” which remain on the device for a defined period or until deleted by the user. Cookies may also be “first-party cookies,” placed directly by the Platform, or “third-party cookies,” placed by service providers or embedded technologies used to support Platform operations.
3. Educational Platform Context
3.1. Health & Institute operates as a digital education and professional learning platform. The website describes the Institute as offering virtual professional learning, 3-week intensive programs, U.S.-integrated education pathways, HIPAA compliance training, healthcare-adjacent programs, institutional recognition, and LMS-based delivery. (Health and Institute)
3.2. Because the Platform may involve admissions, student inquiries, institutional partnership requests, course access, LMS activity, assessment records, certificate eligibility, tuition pages, and career pathway communications, cookies and tracking technologies may be used in connection with educational, administrative, security, analytics, and communication workflows.
3.3. The Institute does not knowingly use cookies or tracking technologies to collect actual patient records, third-party Protected Health Information, clinical treatment records, or real patient data through general website browsing. Users must not submit actual patient information through general website forms, unsecured communications, or cookie-enabled public pages.
