We use small text files called cookies to improve the overall Site experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user.

StudentGuiders tracks users over time and across the Site and the Apps but does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, third parties such as providers of external services like web traffic analysis services, such as intercom or mixpanel may track users over time and over our Site and third-party websites and such third parties may also place cookies, via our Site. These cookies are likely to be analytical, performance cookies, or targeting cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.

For example, you may sign in through Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn. The third-party social plugin sets a cookie when your browser creates a connection to the servers of such social networks and the plugin transmits your data to the social networks.
