Cookie Policy

This website, like most websites on the Internet, uses cookies to improve and optimize the user experience. Below you will find detailed information about what cookies are, what types this website uses, how you can disable them in your browser, and how to specifically block the installation of third-party cookies.

What are cookies and how do SEK Paraguay International School websites use them? Cookies are files that the website or application you use installs on your browser or device (smartphone, tablet, or smart TV) while you browse the pages or use the application. They serve to store information about your visit. Like most websites on the Internet, SEK Paraguay International School’s web portals use cookies to:

Ensure that the web pages function correctly. Store your preferences, such as your selected language or font size. Understand your browsing experience. Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages you have viewed or how long you have spent on our website.

The use of cookies allows us to optimize your browsing experience, adapting the information and services offered to your interests, to provide you with a better experience each time you visit us. SEK Paraguay International School websites use cookies to function, adapt, and facilitate user navigation as much as possible.

Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer/device and do not provide any information that would allow us to identify you personally. You can access your browser settings at any time to modify and/or block the installation of cookies sent by SEK Paraguay International School websites, without preventing access to the content. However, the quality of the services may be affected.

Users who complete the registration process or have logged in with their credentials will have access to personalized services tailored to their preferences based on the personal information provided during registration and the information stored in their browser’s cookie.

SEK Paraguay International School’s email marketing tools use small, invisible images embedded in emails. This technology allows us to know if an email has been read, the date it was read, the IP address from which it was accessed, and so on. With this information, we conduct statistical and analytical studies on email sending and receiving to improve the services to which the user is subscribed and to offer information that may be of interest.

Why are they important?

From a technical standpoint, they allow websites to function more efficiently and adapt to user preferences, such as remembering the language, the country’s currency, or detecting the access device. They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyberattacks against the website or its users. They allow media managers to access statistical data collected in cookies to improve the quality and experience of their services. They help optimize the advertising we show to users, offering the most relevant ads based on their interests.

What are the different types of cookies we use at SEK Paraguay International School?

Session cookies expire when the user leaves the page or closes the browser; that is, they are active only during the visit to the website and are therefore deleted from your computer upon leaving. Persistent cookies expire when they have fulfilled their purpose or when they are manually deleted. They have an expiration date and are typically used in online shopping, personalization, or registration processes, so you don’t have to constantly enter your password. On the other hand, depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish between first-party and third-party cookies.

First-party cookies are those sent to your computer and managed exclusively by us for the optimal functioning of the website. The information we collect is used to improve the quality of our service and your user experience. If you interact with content on our website, third-party cookies may also be set (for example, when you click social media buttons or watch videos hosted on another website). These are cookies set by a domain different from our website. We cannot access the data stored in cookies from other websites when you browse those websites. Some SEK Paraguay International School services may use connectors with various

Social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, etc. By using social login, you authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie. This cookie remembers your login information, making access much faster on subsequent visits. This cookie can be deleted, and you can also revoke SEK Paraguay International School’s access permissions from the privacy settings of the specific social network.

How can I configure my cookies?

By browsing and continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies under the conditions set out in this Cookie Policy. SEK Paraguay International School provides access to this Cookie Policy at the time of registration so that users are informed, and without prejudice to their right to block, delete, and refuse the use of cookies at any time.

In any case, we inform you that, since cookies are not necessary for using our website, you can block or disable them by activating your browser settings, which allow you to refuse the installation of all or some cookies. The vast majority of browsers allow you to be notified of the presence of cookies or to automatically reject them. If you reject them, you can still use our website, although the use of some of its services may be limited, and therefore your experience on our website may be less satisfactory.
