About this Cookie Policy

At International Metropolitan School (“IMS”), we are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data when you use our websites, while also prioritizing the best possible browsing experience for every user. For this purpose, we use cookies in full compliance with the applicable legislative framework for data processing in electronic communications and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 regarding the management of cookies and related technologies.

This Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) provides information about the meaning of cookies, the categories, how IMS uses them, and how you can manage them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored by the browser on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. The information stored on your device may include details about the websites you visit, the date and time of your visit, the type of browser, a random and unique user identification number, and more.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and effectively. This is achieved because websites can store and read useful information to provide the user with the best possible browsing experience. Additionally, cookies allow us to monitor website performance and traffic, improving its presentation and content according to our visitors’ preferences.

Which cookies do we use?

Our websites use cookies to manage login sessions, ensure session integrity, configure the content displayed to users, and compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that help us understand how the audience interacts with our website. Below is a more detailed overview of the categories of cookies we use and their purposes:

• Necessary cookies: Essential for the proper functioning of the website, these cookies allow you to browse and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, we cannot ensure effective website operation, and therefore they are mandatory by default. These cookies do not identify you personally.
• Preference cookies: Allow a website to remember information that changes the website’s behavior or appearance, such as your preferred language or region. These cookies are stored for the duration of your browsing session.
• Statistics cookies: Help website owners understand how visitors interact with the pages by collecting and reporting information anonymously to improve the website. These cookies may be set by us or third parties on our behalf.
• Advertising cookies: Aim to provide content more relevant to you and your interests. They collect your preferences to show you relevant ads or listings outside our websites. These cookies may be set by us or third parties on our behalf.

How to manage cookies

When you visit any of our websites for the first time, a banner appears at the bottom of the screen informing you that our website uses cookies. The banner provides a link for more information. If the user chooses to ignore the notice and continues using the website without accepting cookies, the website will not be able to record any preference, and on the next visit, the cookie consent will be requested again. If accepted, the banner will not appear on subsequent visits, without affecting your ability to delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Except for technically necessary cookies, which are mandatory, the other categories require your consent before use. These categories are not pre-selected, and you can freely choose which categories you want at any level of cookie analysis.

You can also change your browser settings to delete cookies already stored during your use of our website and refuse new cookies. For more information, visit the help pages of your device’s browser.

Links to websites provided by others

If you are redirected from our website to another website that does not belong to or relate to IMS, this Cookie Policy no longer applies, and the respective policies of the new website will apply. We recommend reading those policies, as we are not responsible for how cookies are handled on the new website not related to IMS.

• Access your data
• Correct or delete your data
