The new Privacy hub allows users to opt-in to cookies

A new banner asking for your cookie preferences appeared on Concordia’s websites on September 22. That’s because new parts of Quebec’s Bill 25 went into effect to protect the right to privacy and personal information. Our new cookie management platform allows all visitors to "accept recommended cookies” or “manage cookie settings."

New websites worth a look

• The brand new Centre pour étudiant·es francophones website was launched to announce Concordia’s new offering of services and resources to support francophone students who are studying in English for the first time. 
• Just in time for their exciting orientation events, the new NouLa Black Student Centre website showcases the programming and resources for Black students at Concordia. 
• This year, the PERFORM Centre has been transitioning to their new name as the School of Health. Check out the new website in English and in French.
• Facilities Management maintains and supports our spaces here at Concordia, and the UCS web team was happy to refresh their web content, layout and design on their landing page on the Concordia site as well as on Carrefour. The Carrefour site is also available in French. 

A step up for SGS
