This Cookie Policy includes additional information about how Respondus Processes certain information collected on the internet. It is part of and incorporated into the Respondus Privacy Policy . You should read them both carefully.

When you interact with our Website, emails, and other Services, we or our authorized service providers may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and other similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) so we can personalize content, analyze our traffic, and improve our Services.

We hope the information below provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the technologies we use and the purposes for which we use them, but if you have any additional questions, or require any additional information, please review our Privacy Policy, visit our Privacy Center, or contact us.

 
Your Consent

Some of the cookies that we use on our Website are strictly necessary and are there to technically enable the website and its components and to enable security measures. Strictly necessary cookies are activated without user consent because these are necessary for the Website to work properly and in a secure way. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent for the cookies we place on your device that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our Website.

You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies with your visit to or use of our Website, Services, applications, tools or messaging. See the options below in Your Cookie Choices, which are available to you to control our, or our service providers’, use of these technologies.

You may review the cookies our Website uses that are specific to you, as well change or withdraw your consent at our Cookie Declaration Page.

 
Overview of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Tracking Methods

These technologies are small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device (collectively, a "device") that record information when you visit or interact with websites, services, applications, messaging, and other tools like those offered by Respondus. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Though often these technologies are generically referred to as “cookies," each functions slightly differently, and is better explained below:

 
Cookies: These are small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) placed in the memory of your browser or device when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser.

Web beacons: These are small tags placed on a website resource or in an email to track how the user interacts with the content. This interaction generates a “hit,” counting your interaction with HTML content. For example, if you click on a piece of content on the Website, a web beacon may record that interaction.

Web Tags or Tracking Pixels: This is a type of code (e.g., JavaScript code in a tag manager) or pixel (a small, 1x1 transparent image) loaded into the web page to enable website features, like the web design components, or to track user’s behavior across web sites and devices.

Similar technologies: Other tracking methods might store information in your browser or device utilizing local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These technologies can operate across all of your browsers, and in some instances may not be fully managed by your browser, but may instead require management directly through your installed applications or device. A user may be asked to fill out a form providing Personal Information such as their name, e-mail address, and interests. This information would be sent to their browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), which then stores the information for later use.

Your Cookie Choices

Respondus strives to provide you with choices regarding your Personal Information. The following tools and procedures may provide you with the control over your information:

• Cookie Banner. You can use our Cookie Banner to accept or refuse cookies that are not Strictly Necessary. You can update your preferences with the Cookie Banner anytime.
• Browser Signals. Although most browsers and devices accept cookies by default, their settings usually allow you to clear or decline cookies. Check the support site for your browser to understand the privacy settings available to you.

You may opt out by broadcasting an opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control, from the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal. If available on your browser, browser extension, or device, you can enable an opt-out signal to enable, disable, or delete first and third-party cookies.

“Do Not Track” signals are similar in function to Global Privacy Control in that they make options available on your browser to tell operators of websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. However, this technology has not been universally adopted and its functionality across the internet is inconsistent. Therefore, our Website operates no differently if these “Do Not Track” signals are enabled or disabled.

• Third Party Opt-Outs. Some of the organizations from which our Website uses cookies, like Google, provide users the ability to opt-out of their cookies through the settings on their websites. Please review the applicable guidance provided by these organizations for more information.
• Device Opt-Outs. Check your mobile device for settings that control ads based on your interactions with the applications on your device. For example, on your iOS device, enable the "Limit Ad Tracking" setting, and on your Android device, enable the "Opt out of Ads Personalization" setting.

Please note: some of the opt-out tools in this section are provided by third parties. Respondus does not control or operate these programs or the choices they offer.

If you disable cookies, some of the features of our Services may not function properly. Be aware that any preference set will be lost if you delete all cookies, including your preference to opt-out from cookies. This requires an opt-out cookie to have been set.
