Tavistock & Portman Moodle Cookies Policy


Details of Moodle's use of cookies

On registration, users must give their consent to the Trust’s processing of their personal data via the VLE and to acknowledge the Trust’s Privacy Notice (https://tavistockandportman.nhs.uk/about-us/contact-us/about-this-website/privacy-and-your-data ).

In order to use the Trust VLE you must have 'cookies enabled' on your web browser.  Cookies are small file structures used by the Trust VLE to 'request' information from the computer which you are using.  This information is then returned to the Trust VLE and stored. The information may also be shared with third-parties for plugins we maintain within in Moodle (e.g. Turnitin UK).  

We use this information to help improve the Trust VLE services by ensuring that the material and content of the courses match with the users' requirement and to make sure users are not having problems with access. The usage statistics are visible to the Trust VLE administrators and may be visible to your course tutors and, where applicable, authorised users from your employer's organisation.
