Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Seek International Education Agent, operating as “IE Agents” (“IE Agents,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on ieagents.co.in (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences, and allow us and third parties to recognise your browser on return visits and to understand how the Website is used.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which we collectively refer to as “cookies” in this Policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly - for example, enabling page navigation, form submission (such as our “Book Free Consultation” and enquiry forms), and security features. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they do not require consent under most applicable laws.
2.2 Analytics/Performance Cookies
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with the Website - for example, which pages are viewed most, how long visitors stay, and which links are clicked. This helps us improve our content (e.g., our study-destination pages, blogs, and FAQ section) and Website performance. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, generally anonymous form.
2.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred state or course-level selection in our enquiry form) to provide a more personalised experience and avoid asking you to re-enter information.
2.4 Marketing/Advertising Cookies
We and our third-party partners (such as Meta/Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Ads, and YouTube) may use cookies to deliver relevant advertisements about our study-abroad and migration services on our Website and on third-party platforms, and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and may be used to build a profile of your interests.
2.5 Social Media / Embedded Content Cookies
Where we embed social media content (e.g., our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTube feeds) or a WhatsApp chat widget, the relevant third-party platform may set its own cookies to enable that functionality and to track engagement with embedded content.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party service providers who deliver services on our behalf or through embedded content on the Website, including:
- Google (Analytics, Ads, YouTube embeds)
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram plugins/pixel)
- WhatsApp Business (for the WhatsApp chat/contact feature)
These third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control these third-party cookies.
4. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Enable core Website functionality, including enquiry and consultation booking forms;
- Understand Website usage and improve content, services, and user experience;
- Remember your preferences (e.g., preferred study destination or course level);
- Measure and improve the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn;
- Enable the WhatsApp “Chat with us” feature and other embedded social features;
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Website.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
5.1 Cookie consent banner
When you first visit the Website, you may be shown a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or manage non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing, functional). You can change your preferences at any time via [the cookie settings link/icon on the Website].
5.2 Browser controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies (particularly strictly necessary ones) may affect the functionality of the Website, including the ability to submit enquiry forms.
Common browser cookie settings can be found here:
- Google Chrome: chrome://settings/cookies

5.3 Opting out of analytics/advertising cookies
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, and manage ad personalisation via Google Ads Settings and Meta Ad Preferences.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. As there is currently no industry-standard approach to DNT, our Website does not currently respond differently to DNT signals, but you can control cookie tracking through the methods described above.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or for legal or regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
