A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (all referred to here as a "device") web browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your web browser if your browser's preferences allow it. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows. Similar technologies are also often used within emails to understand whether the email has been read or if any links have been clicked. If you continue without changing your settings, we’ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on the IIT website. However, you can change your cookie settings at any time.
It is important to note that if you change your settings and block certain cookies, you will not be able to take full advantage of some features of IIT's services.
On IIT websites, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor our websites to your interests.
During the course of any visit to a IIT website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
b) How does IIT use cookies?
Information supplied by cookies can help us to understand the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.

As a result, when you visit a page containing such content, you may be presented with cookies from these websites and these third party cookies may track your use of the IIT website. IIT does not control the dissemination of these cookies and you should check the relevant third party's website for more information.
Where IIT embeds content from social media and other third party websites, some websites may use Google Analytics to collect data about user behaviour for their own purposes. IIT does not control this. For more information, see the Google webpage “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps”.
d) Other information collected from web browsers
Your web browser may also provide IIT with information about your device, such as an IP address and details about the browser that you are using.

DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked, such as by third party ad networks, social networks and analytic companies. This website does not currently respond to DNT requests.
