    3. Should your personal information change, please inform us and provide us with updates to your personal information as soon as reasonably possible to enable us to update it. iXperience is however under no obligation to ensure that your personal information or other information supplied by you is correct.

    8. The Website and Student Portal may make use of “cookies” to automatically collect information and data through the standard operation of the internet servers. Cookies are small text files a website can use (and which we may use) to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user’s on-going access to and use of a website and allow a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow the website operator to improve the functionality of the website and its content, and to display more focused advertising to a user by way of third party tools.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Please note that cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on the Student Portal or Website, and thus if you disable the cookies on your browser, you may not be able to use those features, and your access to our Student Portal will therefore be limited. If you do not disable cookies, you are deemed to consent to our use of any personal information collected using those cookies, subject to the provisions of these Terms.
