Cookies are small files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They can help a website function, remember your choices and understand how visitors use it.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels and device identifiers, can perform related functions. References to cookies in this policy also cover these technologies where relevant.

Cookies may be stored on our website’s domain or associated with third-party services.

We explain the purposes of individual technologies in the cookie list below.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website, including which pages they visit and how they arrive at the site.

Analytics may process cookie identifiers, browser and device information, approximate location and website interactions. Although reports may group visitors together, the underlying information is not necessarily anonymous.

We use consent as the basis for enabling optional Google Analytics technologies.

Our website includes embedded YouTube videos. When enabled, YouTube may receive technical information about your device and your interaction with the video.

Depending on the player configuration and your Google preferences, YouTube technologies may support playback, security, analytics, personalisation or advertising. Google explains these uses in its cookie information.

YouTube content remains blocked until you make the relevant consent choice. If you decline, you can still access lesson information and make an enquiry, although embedded videos may be unavailable.

We use Mailchimp for email marketing. Accepting website cookies does not subscribe you to our mailing list.

Any website tracking introduced by a Mailchimp form or integration is included in the cookie list and subject to the appropriate consent controls.

Email-open and link-click tracking are separate from website cookie choices. Our Privacy Policy explains our email practices and how to withdraw consent or unsubscribe. Further information is available in Mailchimp’s Cookie Statement.

Session cookies normally expire when your browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their specified expiry or until you delete them. Some cookies refresh their expiry when used again.

A cookie’s lifetime on your device is separate from how long information collected through it is retained. Our Privacy Policy explains relevant information-retention periods.

Our cookie controls allow you to:

Optional categories are switched off until you agree. Simply browsing the website, scrolling or closing the banner does not provide consent.

You can change your choices or withdraw consent at any time using Cookie Settings on the website. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew consent.

You can also use your browser settings to delete existing cookies or restrict future cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect some website functions. Your choices may need to be set again if you clear browser storage or use another browser or device.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, the providers we use, international processing and your data-protection rights.

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website or use of cookies changes. The latest version will appear on this page with an updated date.
