Hudson Cookie Policies
Like many other websites, Hudson Courses (the “Site”) website uses session cookies as well as persistent cookies. These cookies help with website navigation and performing certain functions, such as allowing our site to authenticate you if you log in to a secure area of our website.

What are Cookies

The cookie usually contains information about the domain it came from, an expiry date, as well as a unique value, usually a randomly generated number that helps the server identify the cookie when the user returns.
Why Hudson Uses Cookies and Web Beacons
Hudson uses cookies, web beacons, and pixels to track website interactions, offer various website functionalities, and improve our website performance, to ensure utmost usability and user experience throughout our Site. Please note that some cookies are essential to make our Site work.
Authentication
Used for login and account access. This ensures that unauthorized parties cannot access your account information.
Personalization
Used to determine which country you are likely from, so we can display the currency information that is applicable to you.
Analytics
If you may have noticed, we are constantly striving to improve your user experience on our Site. To identify what we can improve next, we are consistently analyzing anonymized user interactions with our site. This helps us understand how individuals like you are using our site, what features they use most often, and what problems and challenges they might be facing.
In particular, we are using Google Analytics and HotJar. Aside from the approximate location (determined via IP address), Google Analytics collects mostly anonymous traffic data including browser information, user language, and device information.
What Cookies Does Hudson Use?
Session Cookies
Session cookies are used by the server to store information about page activities so you can easily pick up where you left off. For example, session cookies help store ordering information to help make our shopping cart function work. Without it, our website users would need to remember all the items they put into their shopping cart. For more information, please see All About Cookies (external link).
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies (also known as tracking cookies) store user preferences, such as what currency settings you have selected on our course pages. These settings make our website easier to navigate for you.
