We use session cookies which only last as long as your online session, and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser (like Internet Explorer or Safari).
Strictly necessary cookies let you use all the different parts of this website effectively. Without them, some services can’t be provided. We have set strictly necessary cookies that collect information on which web pages visitors go to most often so we can improve our online services.
Third-party cookies can be present in your browser, which are set by someone other than the owner of the website you’re visiting. Some Grade web pages may also contain content from other sites like Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter, which may set their own cookies. Also, if you share a link to a Grade page, the service you share it on (for example, Facebook) may set a cookie on your browser. We have no control over third-party cookies - you can turn them off, but not through us.
Some websites use advertising networks to show you specially targeted adverts when you visit. These networks may also be able to track your browsing across different sites. We don’t set advertising cookies on this website.
For more detail on how we use personal data that we do collect, please read our Data Privacy Policy.
How can I stop my internet browser from tracking my info?
You can change your browser’s settings so it’ll tell you when cookies get sent to it. Or it can refuse cookies altogether. Check the Help section in your browser for more info.
How do web browsers track my info?
They use various technical tools, including:
- Cookies
- IP addresses
- HTTP referrer
- Tracking scripts
- User agents
- Browser fingerprinting.
The “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting
Some internet browsers have a DNT setting. This sends a signal to websites asking them not to track your browsing.
