Cookie Policy

1. What are Cookies?

In the context of the GHMS digital ecosystem, “Cookies” are small data packets stored on your device that allow our Institutional Registry to recognize your session, remember your preferences (such as dashboard layout or language), and facilitate your interaction with Lumina AI. We handle these identifiers with the highest level of professional discretion.

2. Why We Use Cookies

As an International Management Institution, we utilize cookies to:

• Maintain your secure connection to the Cockpit and Executive Passport.
• Process real-time interactions with Lumina Intelligence.
• Analyze academic traffic patterns to improve module delivery.
• Ensure the persistence of your “Executive Standing” status across sessions.

3. Essential Functional Cookies

Mandatory for access.

These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They handle authentication via Supabase and ensure that your academic record remains encrypted and accessible only to you. You cannot opt-out of these while maintaining active Registry access.

4. Performance and Analytics

We use performance cookies to understand how students interact with the 4-year curriculum. These tools collect aggregated, anonymous data that helps our Admissions and Academic Board identify which modules require additional clarity or resources.

5. Lumina AI & Personalization

Our proprietary AI engine uses specific session identifiers to maintain the context of your simulations and career coaching conversations. This ensures that Lumina “remembers” your professional goals and previous feedback during an active learning cycle.

6. Industry Partner Identifiers

When you access the Career Hub or apply to a Luxury Brand partner, specific cookies may be used to track your application source as GHMS-verified. This ensures that recruitment managers correctly identify you as an elite candidate from our institution.

7. Managing Your Preferences

Through your browser settings, you can refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, please be advised that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from accessing the secure segments of the GHMS Cockpit and invalidating your digital ID session.

8. Third-Party Traceability

GHMS limits the use of third-party cookies to essential infrastructure providers (e.g., Supabase for cloud security, Google for AI processing). We do not permit advertising networks to place tracking cookies on our educational platform.

9. Data Sovereignty & Canadian Compliance

In alignment with Canada’s PIPEDA and global privacy standards, we ensure that no sensitive academic or personal data is stored within an unencrypted cookie. All persistent identifiers are hashed and tokenized for your protection.

10. Modifications

As our digital tools evolve, we may update the types of cookies used. Any material changes will be communicated via your Dashboard and updated in this public ledger.
