Our goal is to improve user experience and overall service efficiency.

Sharing your personal data
ArianaGroup may share your Personal Data with selected third-party service providers who carry out functions on our behalf. These may include companies responsible for web hosting, data analysis, marketing our services (including on external websites), processing credit card payments, and delivering customer support. All such partners are contractually obligated to protect your Personal Data, maintain its confidentiality, and use it strictly according to our instructions.
In certain instances, you may be required to interact directly with a third-party provider to access specific services.
Apart from the disclosures outlined in this Privacy Policy, or where required by applicable law, and unless it is necessary for purposes such as university admissions or analytical reporting involving selected partners (where only relevant information will be used), we will not share your Personal Data with any third party without your permission. However, we reserve the right to disclose your information to our affiliated companies—both within and outside your country of residence—as well as to their employees, agents, or representatives, provided they require access in order to fulfill your service requests, support operations, or conduct internal investigations such as audits or compliance checks.
ArianaGroup may also disclose your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws to protect our legal rights, respond to court orders or lawful requests from government or enforcement agencies, or as part of a business transaction such as a sale, merger, or transfer of assets. Additionally, we may share this information to enforce our terms of service or safeguard the rights, property, or safety of ArianaGroup, our users, or others.
Please note that in some of these scenarios, the receiving party may be located in a country whose data protection laws may differ from those in your own jurisdiction.
Our policy concerning cookies and pixel tags
Our website uses both session and persistent cookies, along with pixel tags (also known as clear GIFs), to gather and retain specific information about your visit. Cookies are small text files sent from the Site to your device and stored on your hard drive. Session cookies are temporary and are used to keep you logged in during your visit—they are removed once you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored even after the browser is closed, though you can remove them at any time via your browser settings.
By using our Site, you agree to the use of cookies and pixel tags as outlined here. If you wish to block cookies, receive notifications when cookies are being stored, or delete existing cookies, you can adjust your browser settings accordingly, usually found under "Help" or "Internet Options." Please be aware that disabling or removing cookies may limit your ability to use certain features or functionalities of the Site, may require you to log in again, and could affect your overall user experience.
Additionally, opting out of third-party cookies doesn’t mean you’ll stop seeing ads altogether—it simply means those specific ad networks will no longer serve ads based on your browsing behavior. Keep in mind that if you clear your browser’s cookies or switch devices or browsers, you’ll need to complete the opt-out process again.
ArianaGroup cookies
ArianaGroup uses session cookies to maintain your login status while you browse the Site, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
Persistent cookies are used to personalize your interaction with the Site by remembering your preferences, such as the language you chose, your login credentials (so you don’t need to re-enter them during future visits), and your previous search settings and results.
Additionally, ArianaGroup utilizes persistent cookies and pixel tags to monitor how users navigate and interact with the Site. This helps us enhance both the website and the services we offer, while also allowing us to deliver more relevant advertising—whether through email, on our Site, or across other platforms—based on your interests. These tools collect data such as the pages you view and the searches you carry out during your visit.
Website analytics
Third-party companies may place persistent cookies to monitor your browsing activity on this Site and across other websites. This helps us better understand user behavior and allows us to enhance both the functionality of the Site and the quality of our services.

Third party advertising
Our third-party advertising partners may place cookies or pixel tags on certain pages you visit within the Site. These tools are intended to collect non-personally identifiable information to better understand your interests and search behavior while browsing our Site. This information is then used to display advertisements that are more relevant to your preferences, both on our Site and across other websites.
The non-personal data gathered through these cookies and pixel tags may also be shared with additional third parties for purposes such as ad targeting, campaign management, and market research analysis.
