What are Cookies?

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They can be used to improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your language selection or 'personalising' content based on your location as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be first party (set by us) or third party (set by another company when you visit our website e.g. Kaltura or You Tube). These are used both for the purposes of understanding user engagement and improving your experience, as well as serving more relevant content and adverts.

Websites must get consent to send cookies to your computer or mobile device unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you. While the information does not usually directly identify you, details such as the device, operating system and type of browser may be considered personal data as it helps to create a more personalised web experience.

The website www.aboutcookies.org provides detailed information about website cookies and how to manage and remove them using your browser.

 

What happens if I disable cookies?

If you disable cookies completely, Moodle won't work properly.

 

How Ext-Moodle uses Cookies

When you use and access the ext-moodle.arup.com, we may place a number of cookies files in your web browser. These cookies are essential to the running of the site and if disabled you will not be able to use Moodle.

 

1st Party Cookies:

• MoodleSession: This Essential Cookie must be allowed for Moodle to work. It is only used when you are logged in to Moodle or your browser is open. It remembers your username between pages and provides a bit of consistency. As soon as you log out or close your browser, the MoodleSession cookie will be removed.
• __cf_bm: This cookie is necessary for Cloudflare’s bot solutions to function properly. The cookie contains information related to the calculation of Cloudflare’s proprietary bot score and, when Anomaly Detection is enabled on Bot Management, a session identifier. The information in the cookie (other than time-related information) is encrypted and can only be decrypted by Cloudflare. The __cf_bm cookie is generated independently by Cloudflare, and does not correspond to any user ID or other identifiers in a ext-moodle.arup.com’s web application. This cookie expires after 30 Minutes of continuous inactivity by the end user.

Authentication: If you authenticate using Azure Active Directory / Microsoft, this platform uses various cookies to enable this process. Please refer to their Privacy Policy for more details including how they use cookies.

• Azure AD - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/cookie-definitions

 

3rd Party Cookies:

We are not responsible for any links to content on or embedded from external sites e.g. You Tube that might use cookies for analytics and advertising purposes. Please refer to the relevant external site “Cookies / Privacy Policies” for more details on how they might use your data.
