Plain English Summary
We use essential cookies to make the site work and anonymous analytics to understand how the programme is used. We don't use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting. The analytics records are kept in your browser's storage, not in a cookie; clearing site data for this site in your browser removes them. We also keep a simple count of page visits. It uses no cookie and stores nothing on your device.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand usage patterns.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are required for the programme to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking the experience.
- Session state — remembers your progress within a module during a session
- Authentication — maintains your login state for paid content (when Supabase auth is active)
Analytics Cookies
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which modules are most used, where learners spend time, and where they disengage. This data is kept in your browser's storage first. If you are not signed in, it stays on your device and is not sent to us. If you are signed in, usage records are uploaded and stored with your account number so we can show your progress; records kept on the device before you signed in are uploaded at that moment; they are never shared with advertisers.
Visit counts. Each time the course home page or a module is opened we add one to a daily count for that page. It uses no cookie and stores nothing on your device, and it carries nothing that could tell one visitor from another. It is sent whether or not you are signed in. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, your visit is not counted. The privacy policy sets out exactly what the count holds.
- No cross-site tracking
- No data shared with advertising networks
Cookies We Do Not Use
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Third-party behavioural analytics (e.g. Facebook Pixel, Google Ads)
