The default setting on most web browsers is to accept cookies. You can change this setting to refuse any cookie, or to be prompted when a cookie is being sent. Please note, however, that some areas and features of the Services will not function properly if you refuse cookies.

Email Communications

DigitalEd operates multiple commercial subscription-based email lists that interested parties can opt-in or opt-out of at any time from the email management area of the DigitalEd web site.

From time to time, DigitalEd may create new subscription-based commercial email lists and may pre-populate these lists with existing DigitalEd email list subscribers, based on subscriber profiles. If you are not already a DigitalEd email subscriber, you will not be added to any newly created DigitalEd email lists.

If you would prefer to never receive commercial emails from DigitalEd, you have the option to remove yourself from all present and future email lists by globally unsubscribing here, or by emailing privacy@digitaled.com. You may still subscribe to any DigitalEd email list after globally unsubscribing, and by doing so you will be removed from the global unsubscribe list and put on the list(s) that you subscribe to.

Emails verifying opt-in and opt-out requests are automatically sent to the recipient after each email subscription update.
