Cookie Policy
Plink is an online learning management system (LMS) run by the Department for Education in South Australia. Plink uses cookies to ensure an optimal user experience.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are saved on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone). If you access a website, the cookie saved on your device will be read to provide information to the party that placed the cookie. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, nor do they contain viruses, trojans or other malware.
Why are cookies essential for plink?
Cookies are used to personalise and simplify your use of plink. Cookies allow, for example, navigation within plink and the customization of content to suit your needs. Without the use of cookies, we would not be able to ensure that plink runs smoothly, and your user experience is as we would like it to be.
Types of cookies
We use two types of cookies on plink:
Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only for as long as you visit plink (or, more precisely, until you close the browser after visiting plink). Session cookies help plink to remember what choices you have made in the session so that you do not have to re-enter this information.
Persistent cookies are saved on your device for a longer period of time, also after your session has ended. Persistent cookies help us identify you as an individual visitor.
Purpose of cookies
Plink only uses such cookies, without which the proper use of plink would not be possible or only with significant restrictions. The legal basis for these mandatory cookies is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the proper performance of plink, as you expect as a user.
