This policy pertains to the use of cookies and other similar technologies by qualified outlets and businesses on privacy in electronic communications. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we are referring to small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. This allows the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time.

We use cookies on our website(s) to analyze how you interact with our content and improve your overall experience. For example, some cookies remember your language or preferences so that you do not have to repeatedly make these choices when you visit our website(s). We also use cookies for geolocation tracking to present you with the closest Shell station and office locations. Additionally, cookies enable us to serve you specific content, such as videos on our website(s). We may use your behavior on our website(s) to serve you with targeted advertisements on third-party website(s) in an effort to "re-market" our products and services to you.

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website(s). First-party cookies are issued from the cyberscholarinstitute.com domain and are generally used to identify language and location preferences or render basic site functionality.

Cookies and ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous ad network tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. We collect aggregated audit data, research, and performance reporting for advertisers. Although we do not use cookies to create a profile of your browsing behavior on third-party sites, we do use aggregate data from third parties to show you relevant, interest-based advertising. We do not provide any personal information that we collect to advertisers. You can opt-out of off-site and third-party-informed advertising by adjusting your cookie settings.

For some functions within our websites, we use third-party suppliers, such as YouTube. These third-party cookies may be embedded within videos or links and may contain their own cookies. We encourage you to consult the privacy policies of these third-party vendors on their websites for information regarding their use of cookies.
