Types of Cookies
First-Party Cookies:
First-party cookies are created and placed directly by NAIT. They are specific to the NAIT website that you see in your browser's address bar and are typically used to enhance visitors' browsing experience. These cookies are crucial for website functionality and personalization, as they remember visitors' preferences, settings, and actions taken. For example, they can keep visitors logged in during a session, remember your language settings, or maintain your preferences across visits.
Third-Party Cookies:
Third-party cookies are placed on visitors’ devices by websites other than NAIT. These cookies are commonly used for cross-site tracking, advertising, and analytics. Third-party cookies are mainly utilized for broader purposes, such as targeted advertising and enabling social media features.
For instance, NAIT uses an analytics service from Google, which uses its own cookies to identify and monitor users across various websites and sessions. This helps in delivering ads tailored to your interests by tracking visitors’ online activity on multiple sites, building a profile of your browsing habits. Such data is crucial for advertisers aiming to fine-tune their campaigns and present more relevant ads.
Visitors may opt out of third-party tracking.
