The information we collect is used to improve the content of our website and web pages, to customize the content and/or layout of our page(s) for each individual visitor, and/or to notify consumers about updates to our website.

What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on a visitor’s hard drive but does not contain any personal information itself. Cookies enhance a visitor’s experience by preventing the visitor from having to login or provide information each time he or she revisits our AtlanticUniv.edu website and by customizing content based on a visitor’s interests.
We use cookies to store site visitors’ preferences, record session information, record user-specific information on what page(s) users access or visit, alert visitors to new areas that we think might be of interest to them when they return to our website, record past activity at our site in order to provide better service when visitors return to our site, and customize web page content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends.

A.U. is extremely protective of the information gathered through its membership and websites. Our websites have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. Our Web server is located in a locked, secure environment. When you visit A.U. online, apply for admission, or access Moodle, we use a secure server and encryption to protect your financial and other personal information during transmission.
