Preventing Identity Theft

Tuition Exchange feels that it is extremely important to guard the identity and privacy of children, and we encourage parents to supervise their children’s interactions online. We do not intentionally market to or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.

Use of Cookies On Our Site
Tuition Exchange does not use cookies to retrieve data from a user’s hard drive, carry computer viruses, capture email addresses or work with online advertisers.

Our site, like many other websites, uses cookies to provide visitors with tailored information from the website. There are two types of cookies used by this site:
Session Cookies:
We use session cookies for consistency purposes. Once users access our website, their browser receives a session cookie which has a time stamp on it. As they move around a website, their browser submits the session cookie whenever the browser requests a new web page. This is how the site knows user preferences so the appearance can remain consistent. Once a person leaves the site, the session cookie placed on his or her computer expires and is deleted from the computer. Tuition Exchange does not monitor or track any individual’s browsing pattern.
Persistent Cookies:
Persistent cookies help a site remember individuals as a previous visitor and can help a visitor by remembering settings from a previous session. An example is when someone responds to a poll question. A cookie is used to ensure each poll taker votes only once.
Opting Out of Having Cookies Placed on a Computer
Each user can set their browser to notify them when a cookie is received, giving the user a chance to decide whether to accept it; however, if someone chooses to reject cookies, that person may be prompted to log in multiple times (for those sections that require it) in the same browsing session but will retain access to all information. Users can consult their browser documentation to learn how to modify cookie settings.
