General Cookie Information
User trust is important to us, and consequently, at INTERNATIONAL MUSIC BUSINESS SCHOOL, SL, we’re committed to protecting your privacy. A key part of this is providing you with as much information as possible about how we use your personal data, including how we use local data storage and similar technology.
Local data storage involves storing different types of data locally on your device via your web browser. Locally stored data can, for example, contain user settings, information about how you navigate through our website, which web browser you use, which adverts have been displayed to you, and similar behaviour on websites that we partner with. Locally stored data can be used to personalise the content and functions on our services in a way that makes your visits more convenient and meaningful.
One method of local data storage is cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (PC, mobile phone, or tablet) which enable us to recognise your web browser. Cookies primarily contain information about your web browser and any activity that has occurred on it. They help us ensure the security and optimal functioning of our website; once you leave our website, these are deleted (security cookies and session cookies) and gather information about the products our internet visitors are interested in and how they navigate through our website so that our online offerings are more appealing to users (tracking cookies).
Additional Cookie Information
We use local data storage for a number of purposes, such as: enabling us to provide our services; delivering relevant, personalised content when you visit our websites; measuring and analysing traffic on our website; improving our services; and targeting specific advertising. Below, more details on these topics are provided:
- For our advertising
We use local data storage in connection with advertising activities. This allows us to know if and how often the user has seen an ad or a certain type of ad, and how long it has been since they saw it.
We also use local data storage to build segments and target groups for marketing purposes and to target specific ads.
- To analyse and improve our services
We use various measurement tools that provide us with statistics and analysis related to our services. These tools enable us to recognise the web browser over time and to find out if the user has visited the website previously and, if so, how often. These tools offer us the possibility to gain an overview of how many unique users we have and how they use our services.
Additionally, we use the information we have collected and analysed to develop and improve our services; for example, by finding out which services generate a lot of traffic or seeing if a service is functioning optimally.
- To deliver and tailor the services to your use
Local data storage is required and necessary in order to allow you to use our services, such as information about your settings, which tells us how the services should be presented in your web browser.
We also use local data storage to best tailor our services to your use.
Cookie Management
You can disable cookies or configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent to you.
The settings in your web browser typically display a list of all the cookies that have been stored to provide you with an overview, and if desired, to delete unwanted cookies. Normally, you can indicate that you accept the storage of cookies from websites you visit or from third parties affiliated with those websites. You can also choose to be notified each time a new cookie is stored. Guidance on how to do this in different web browsers is provided below. Your web browser usually stores cookies in a specific folder on your hard drive, so you can also examine the content in more detail.
However, the cookies present on the website change frequently, and not all cookies are equally important. Consequently, if INTERNATIONAL MUSIC BUSINESS SCHOOL, SL changes the use of tracking cookies, you will be notified with a message.
