It also prevents us from sending you more targeted mailings. It may cause you to receive duplicate mailings as certain newsletters may be re-sent to subscribers who have not interacted with them yet.
• Disabling cookies may cause our Website not to function optimally, such as having to repeatedly log in to access our course content or repeatedly seeing content only meant appear once, such as certain popups or alerts.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

If you reside in the EU, you may request for a record of the personal information we hold about you. There may be a charge for each record request (not more than £10). We may request proof of identification to confirm your identity and additional information to process the request. We will provide you with a copy of the personal information we hold about you not more than one month after receiving a valid request. We can refuse to comply with an access request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If you no longer want us to use your personal information, you can request that we erase your personal information with us. We will act upon the request within one month of receipt of a valid request. In certain cases, it may take us longer than a month if the request is complex and there may be a fee involved, in which case we will notify you. We can refuse to comply with an erasure request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Please note that in some cases, we may retain data for limited periods for legitimate business or legal reasons. For example:

• We may keep some of your information for accounting compliance.
• We may keep some of your information for fraud prevention. For example, if we have terminated a user’s access to our Website for fraud, we may retain information about him/her to prevent access in the future.
• Information that you have shared with others (e.g. blog comments) may continue to be visible through our Website, even after your data is removed. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed.

• We may anonymize your personal data for legal, record, or business purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We are not responsible for information held by these third party websites and search engines and you need to contact these third party websites and search engines for the removal of your data from their services.

9. Third-Party Links
