Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 5, 2026
dePaul School cares about your privacy. Thank you for taking the time to read our cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use in addition to when and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies at https://depaulschool.org (“Website”).
What are cookies and similar technologies?
A cookie is a small text file that we store on your browser or your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.), if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device’s memory or computer’s hard drive to remember information about you, your preferences, or your device information to provide the best browsing experience on the Website.
Similar information storing technologies that typically fall under the generic term “cookies” include local objects (called flash cookies), web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, or any other technology that stores or access information on a user’s device. The information collected and stored does not allow us to identify you but does allow us to provide a better experience when visiting the Website.
What cookies do we use?
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the use of our Website. Others make it possible to optimize the use of the Website and personalize the contents displayed. Cookies make it possible to (1) measure and analyze the frequency and use of our Website sections and services so that we can improve the functionality of the Website, and (2) measure safety and performance of the Website.
We use both first and third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is ‘first,’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies, in basic terms, are cookies set by a website visited by the user (the website displayed in the URL window), i.e., cookies set by the Website. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user: i.e., cookies which are set by websites other than the Website. If a user visits our Website and a separate company sets a cookie through it, this would be a third-party cookie. Third-party cookies are not in our control but are under the control of a third party.
Some of the cookies we use are deleted after termination of the browser session, i.e., after your browser window is closed (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).
How Do I Change My Cookie Settings?
Most web browsers allow some control cookies through the browser settings. You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set, or you can decide on an individual basis whether to accept cookies or reject the acceptance of cookies in general. You can find more information about cookies (including how to disable them) at http://www.allabout cookies.org/. Not accepting cookies can result in the limited functionality of our Website. You can also search in your cookie folders to find our cookies and the Google Analytics cookie if you wish to delete them.

Changes
New services using cookies may be added to the Website from time to time. We aim to keep the cookies information as accurate as possible and we may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We reserve the right to revise our Cookie Policy at any time, and any changes will be effective upon being posted unless we advise otherwise.
