NovaLearn Cookies Policy
Welcome to NovaLearn's Cookies Policy. This policy explains how NovaLearn, located at 42 Innovation Drive, Toronto, ON M5J 2X2, uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at NovaLearn.ca. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. They can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Without cookies, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.
Types of Cookies We Use
NovaLearn uses both first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by NovaLearn, while third-party cookies are set by our service providers. Here's a breakdown of the types of cookies we use and why:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to browse the NovaLearn website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use NovaLearn's website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the NovaLearn website works. We use tools like Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the NovaLearn website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. Functionality cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. We may use third-party advertising partners like Google AdSense to display ads on our site.
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the NovaLearn website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

We use cookies for several reasons, including:
- To personalize your experience on our website.
- To understand how our website is used and to improve its functionality.
- To provide you with targeted advertising and marketing communications.
- To remember your preferences, such as language settings.
- To help you navigate our website more efficiently.

For example, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) websites to learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of online behavioral advertising by companies participating in those programs.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and revisiting our site, which will redisplay the banner.
