This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of CT Gateway’s website.

Use of Cookies

CT Gateway’s website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the Company’s pages, or register with CT Gateway’s site or services, a cookie helps CT Gateway to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the CT Gateway’s features that you customized.聽 We may share cookie data with trusted third parties, including financial institutions, banks, and colleges or universities, to provide targeted offers or research insights.

Some cookies are set by third parties (such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms). These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across websites.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the CT Gateway’s services or websites.聽 You can opt out of targeted advertising by contacting us at [email protected] or adjusting your browser and ad preferences. California residents may opt out of the sale of cookie data to third parties by contacting us at [email protected].

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our data practices. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Many of the operations we perform require us to hire other companies to help us with these tasks. For example, CT retains companies to help us handle mail and email (including sending and delivering packages, postal mail and email), market our products and services, handle purchases of tickets to certain events, analyze user behavior, process credit card transactions, and provide customer service. The companies we retain to help us with these tasks have access to personal information to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.聽 We may share your personal information as described below or as otherwise described in this notice.

When you use CT Gateway’s Services, we may provide personal information to the college, university, or other third party involved or otherwise related to CT Gateway’s Services.聽 We may even ask you to transact directly with that third-party vendor.聽 For example, when you apply to a college or university, we may share your personal information with the college or university. Additionally, we may share information with third parties to assist in processing your payment. These third parties may use your personal information for analytics, offering you other products or services, preparation of reports, as well as customer service and other legitimate business uses.

This could also include colleges, universities, or scholarship providers and other parties related to the college admissions and financial aid process, parties who sell products and services that may be of interest to you or other data aggregators that use the data for a variety of purposes.聽 These third parties may share your personal information with other marketers and data aggregators.聽 Because we do not control the privacy practices of Third-Party Companies, you should read and understand their privacy policies and/or notices.

Our business is constantly changing.

In short, we will honor the choices you make regarding your Personal Data and will inform you about any other intended uses of such information. CT Gateway may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.
