Legal and site information
Cookie Policy
This policy explains how zelanovir.com uses cookies and similar technologies, what categories of cookies are involved, and how you can control them.
What cookies are
If you are reading this because you want to know what is stored on your device when you visit us, this first section is the plain answer.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information between page loads, such as your preferences, and they help site operators understand how pages are used.
A cookie is not a program and it cannot run on your computer. It is a short record — usually a name, a value, and an expiry date — that your browser sends back to the site on later visits. A cookie set by zelanovir.com is a first-party cookie; a cookie set by a service we embed is a third-party cookie. Some technologies do similar work without storing a file at all, for example your browser's local storage, and this policy covers those in the same way.
Cookies are not used to build a profile of who you are as a person. On this site they serve reading, navigation, and aggregate measurement only.
You can clear every cookie this site has set at any time from your browser settings, and the site will keep working as a set of readable pages.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the site to function correctly, including basic navigation and form submission. These cannot be disabled through the site without affecting core features.
In practice this covers the record that keeps a form submission tied to the session you started, the value that remembers which page you came from after a redirect, and the settings that keep the layout stable while you move between the course comparison pages and the program write-ups.
- Remembered session
- Keeps the pages you have open in one visit connected, so a form you start on the contact page is still yours when you submit it.
- Navigation state
- Records where you came from, so an internal link back to the course comparison page lands in the right place instead of starting over.
- Interface preferences
- Stores small display choices — such as being able to keep reading a long program page without the layout shifting under you.
- If they are blocked
- Blocking this category can stop a contact form from submitting and can break links between the course pages. The text of every page stays readable.
Analytics cookies
Where analytics are enabled, cookies may be used to collect aggregate information about page views and traffic sources. This information is used to understand which content is useful. It is not used to identify individuals.
For an editorial site like this one, that measurement answers a narrow question: which course write-ups people actually read to the end, and which pages they leave quickly. The result is a count of visits and a general source, such as arriving from a search engine or a direct link. It does not tell us your name, your email address, or which specific person did the reading.
Aggregate page counts only — never a personal profile
Third-party cookies
Some features may rely on third-party services that set their own cookies, for example embedded media or external tools. Those cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the providers concerned, not by this policy.
If you open an embedded video on a program page, or follow a link out to a college's own site, you leave the cookies we control and arrive in the provider's settings. We cannot read, change, or delete cookies set by another company's site, just as that company cannot read ours.
What we can do is keep the list short, tell you where a third-party feature appears, and describe its purpose in plain words. At present, third-party cookies on this site relate to embedded media playback and to general measurement of page visits.
If a provider's policy matters to your decision, read it on the provider's own site before using the feature. You can also skip the embedded media entirely — the written content on every program page stands on its own.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or clear existing ones. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
Block everything
Every page still loads and every article stays readable. Forms, embedded media, and some internal links between course pages may stop working.
Block third parties only
The site keeps its own session and preference cookies. Embedded media from outside providers will not play until you allow them.
Clear what is stored
Deleting cookies resets your saved choices. The next time you submit a form, the site sets a new session record from scratch.

Common questions about cookies on this site
Do I have to accept cookies to read the course pages?
No. Program write-ups, the course comparison page, and the skills path are plain pages. Turning off analytics cookies does not hide any of that content from you.
Can a cookie tell you who I am?
Not on its own. Cookies hold short technical values. Your name and email appear only when you type them into a form, and they are used to reply to you.
How long does a cookie stay on my device?
Session cookies disappear when you close the browser. Persistent ones stay until their expiry date passes or you delete them yourself. Both types can be removed from browser settings at any moment.
What happens if you change this policy?
The revised text replaces the old one here, and the date of the current version is easy to check. If a change widens what a cookie does, that will be written on this page before it happens.
