What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already been to the site before.
Cookies are widely used and do not harm your device. Some are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it; others support personalisation and marketing.
Cookie Types We Use
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function. These handle things like remembering your cookie consent decision. They cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies — collect anonymised data about pages visited, time on site, and how visitors navigate. This helps us improve our content and course structure. Example: Google Analytics.
- Marketing cookies — used to show content that may be relevant to your interests, and to measure the reach of our communications. These are optional.
- Preference cookies — remember choices you make on the site, such as language or display settings, so you do not have to reset them on each visit.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use. These include:
- Google Analytics — for aggregated usage statistics (analytics cookies)
- Google Maps — used on our contact page to display our location (essential for that feature)
- Advertising networks — only if marketing cookies are accepted
Third-party providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them if you have concerns about their data practices.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period. Our consent cookie lasts up to 12 months. Analytics cookies typically expire after 13–26 months.
