Device information: such as the model of the device you are using, the version of the operating system, the type and version of the browser, etc.

3. Personalized setting information: Such as the website language, font size and other preference setting data you choose.

The collection of the above data is for the purpose of achieving the Cookie purposes described in this clause, and necessary technical measures will be taken to ensure data security.

(3) Third-party Sharing Rules

If this website needs to share the data collected through cookies with third parties (such as social media platforms, advertising service providers, data analysis service providers, etc.), it will obtain your explicit consent in advance. Without your consent, this website will not share the data collected by cookies with any third party.

2. For third parties who have obtained your consent to share your data, this website will require them to abide by the "Privacy Statement and Privacy Policy", as well as relevant laws and regulations, take necessary security measures to protect your data, and must not use your data for any other purposes unrelated to the agreed use of this website.

(4) User Rights

To protect your privacy rights, you enjoy the following rights related to cookies during your use of this website

1. Option

You have the right to choose whether to agree to the use of non-essential cookies (i.e. preference cookies and statistical cookies) by this website based on your own needs. This website will provide you with clear selection options, including "Accept", "Reject" or "Customize" options.

2. Right to withdraw consent:

You have the right to modify or withdraw non-essential cookies at any time through the bottom of the page (such as "Cookie Settings").

3. Right to data deletion:

You have the right to clear the cookies stored by this website on your device or request this website to delete the personal data collected through cookies.

Ii. Design of Cookie Management Mechanism

(1) Front-end implementation

1. Pop-up Banner

When you visit this website for the first time, a clear Cookie prompt banner will pop up at the top or bottom of the page. The banner content includes a brief description of Cookie usage and operation options, such as:

This website uses cookies to ensure the operation of basic functions, provide personalized experiences and analyze visit data. By clicking "Accept", you agree to the use of all cookies. Clicking "Reject" does not consent to the use of cookies, or clicking "Customize" to customize your Cookie preferences. "[Accept] [Reject] [Customize]"

2. Hierarchical Settings

This website offers a Cookie layering setting function. After clicking on the prompt banner or the "Cookie Settings" entry at the bottom of the page to enter the Settings interface, you can view detailed descriptions of various cookies (including types, purposes, data collection scopes, etc.) and check each item to agree or reject the use of non-essential cookies.

3. Persistent Records

To prevent the Cookie prompt pop-up window from recurring each time you visit this website, this website will record your Cookie selection preferences through local storage or necessary cookies. If you do not modify your selection and do not clear the relevant stored data, when you visit this website subsequently, the website will use cookies as you previously selected and will no longer pop up the prompt banner again.

(2) Back-end support

1. API interface

This website will synchronize your Cookie selection preferences to the server side through an API interface. The server will dynamically load or disable relevant scripts (such as personalized setting scripts corresponding to preference cookies, data analysis scripts corresponding to statistical cookies, AD tracking scripts, etc.) based on your selection, ensuring that the relevant functions are enabled only with your consent to avoid collecting data without your consent.

2. Compliance Log

This website will establish a compliance log recording mechanism to record in detail your Cookie consent status (including the type of Cookie you agree to and the consent time), consent status modification records (including the status before modification, the status after modification, and the modification time), and other information. This log will serve as the basis for this website to comply with relevant laws and regulations, and will be properly kept. The retention period will be determined based on relevant laws and regulations and actual business needs. It will only be used for compliance review, dispute resolution and other purposes related to Cookie management, and will not be used for any other purposes.

(3) Technical tools

1. Privacy Management platform

This website will use privacy management platforms that comply with industry standards and relevant laws and regulations (such as OneTrust, Cookiebot, etc.). These platforms can automatically generate Cookie terms that conform to the norms and provide a convenient Cookie management interface. Implement functions such as recording, synchronizing and generating compliance logs of Cookie consent status to ensure the compliance and efficiency of the Cookie management mechanism on this website.

2. Anonymization processing

For user data collected by statistical cookies (such as IP addresses), this website will adopt anonymization processing technology (such as IP mask technology) to remove personal identity information from the data, ensuring that the collected data is only used for anonymous statistical purposes such as website access analysis and cannot be associated with specific individuals, further protecting your privacy and security.

Iii. Special Considerations for School Websites

Given the educational nature of our school's website and the particularity of its service targets (including students, staff, parents, and other education-related individuals), this website will take into account the following additional factors in the use and management of cookies to ensure compliance with educational industry norms and the needs of special groups:

1. Education data protection

If the use of cookies on this website involves student information (such as student numbers, access records related to grades, etc.), we will strictly follow relevant data protection regulations in the education industry, including but not limited to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of the United States. For such cookies involving students' sensitive information, without the explicit consent of the students themselves (or their guardians for minor students), the relevant information will not be used for purposes other than education and teaching or school management.

2. Simplify the process: To avoid excessive interference with users' educational and teaching needs as well as their information acquisition requirements, this website will strive to simplify the Cookie management process design. By default, essential cookies and statistical cookies will be enabled (statistical cookies have been anonymized). At the same time, a clear "Cookie Settings" entry will be provided in a prominent position on the website.

3. Multilingual support: As our school is an international school, the Cookie consent terms and management interface of this website will provide support for the main languages.

4. Regular review and update

To ensure that the Cookie consent terms and management mechanisms of this website always comply with the latest legal and regulatory requirements, industry standards and actual business needs, this website will establish a regular review and update mechanism:

(1) Regular Review: Conduct a comprehensive review of the Cookie policy of this website at least once a year to check for any non-compliance with laws and regulations or infringement of users' rights and interests, assess the necessity and rationality of Cookie use, and promptly identify and rectify any issues.

(2) Update Trigger Conditions and Process: When the following situations occur, this website will update the Cookie consent terms and management mechanism and obtain your consent again:

1. Relevant laws and regulations are revised or new legal requirements are issued, resulting in this clause or management mechanism not conforming to the regulations;

2. When this website adds new third-party services (such as introducing new data analysis tools, social media plugins, etc.), new types of cookies or adjustments to data sharing rules are required.

3. Major changes have occurred in the business functions of this website, resulting in significant alterations to the purpose, type or scope of data collection of cookies.

(3) Update Notification Method: This website will inform you of the updated contents of the Cookie consent terms and management mechanism through a prominent manner. The updated terms will be officially implemented from the effective date specified in the announcement. If you continue to use this website after the updated terms take effect, it means that you have agreed to the updated Cookie consent terms and management mechanism. If you do not agree, you can stop using this website or modify your Cookie preferences.
