Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies — local storage and session storage — work the same way. Together they let a site remember you between pages and visits.

These keep you signed in, keep your application draft attached to your account, protect forms against cross-site request forgery and balance traffic across our servers.

They cannot be switched off through the site, because the application portal will not work without them.

These remember choices such as your destination, selected visa type and interface preferences so you do not have to set them again.

These help us understand which guides and destination pages people use, where applications stall and which pages load slowly. The data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

Signing in with Google sets cookies controlled by Google under its own policy. Embedded maps or videos, where used, may also set cookies from their provider.

Every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies in its settings, and offers a private browsing mode that clears them when you close the window.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out and prevent you from submitting an application or uploading documents.

If we add or remove a cookie category we will update this page and note the revision date at the top.
