IBTE - Cookie policy

This policy explains how Institute of Business Technology and Engineering FZ-LLC ("IBTE") uses cookies on the ibte.me website and the student portal at app.ibte.me. How we handle the personal data we hold is set out separately in our Privacy Policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device. Only the server that set the cookie can read it back. Cookies let a site remember things such as your language, the courses you were browsing, or the fact that you are signed in to the portal.

The section below explains each type of cookie we use. You can change which optional cookies you allow at any time on our page.

We use the following cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for our website and portal to work. They include the cookies that let you sign in to secure areas, submit an application or enquiry form, complete a fee payment, and hold an active conversation with our live chat. They also record the cookie choices you make on this site. You cannot switch these off in our systems, and they do not store information that identifies you for marketing purposes.

Analytical and performance cookies

These cookies let us count visits and see how people move through the site, so we can tell which pages are useful and which are not. They show us, for example, whether prospective students can find programme entry requirements or reach the application form without difficulty. The information is aggregated and anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we cannot monitor how the site performs.

Functional cookies

These cookies recognise you when you come back, so we can remember your preferences such as language, campus or the programmes you have viewed, and provide enhanced features. Some are set by third party services we have added to our pages, such as embedded video or maps. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not work properly.

Targeting cookies

These cookies record the pages you visit and the links you follow, and may be set through our site by our advertising partners. We use this information to make our course advertising more relevant, for example by showing details of an intake you were reading about. They do not store your name or contact details directly, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will see less relevant advertising.

Cookie settings

You can accept or refuse optional cookies on our page, and revisit that page whenever you want to change your mind. You can also block cookies using the settings in your browser, though some parts of the site and portal will stop working if you block cookies entirely.

Further information

The Help menu in your browser explains how to view, manage and delete the cookies stored on your device. The independent site allaboutcookies.org has general guidance on how cookies work.
