Cookies
This website sets no cookies at all until you do something that needs one: add a course to the cart, write in the chat, or ask the checkout to remember your details. There are no analytics and no advertising cookies.
1 The cookies we set
| Name | Type | When it is set | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Strictly necessary | Only once you use the cart | Keeps the contents of your cart through to the checkout | Until you close the browser |
buyer |
Functional | Only with your consent, when you tick “remember my details” at checkout | Stores the billing details you typed, so the checkout is filled in next time | 180 days |
supchat_v |
Strictly necessary | When you send your first chat message | Links your browser to the chat conversation you started, so you see the replies | 1 year |
supchat_k |
Strictly necessary | Staff only, when an academy team member signs in to the chat admin | Keeps the team member signed in. Never set for visitors | 1 year |
All four are set by this website only (first-party) and cannot be read by scripts running on the page.
2 Why there is no cookie banner
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations allow cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you ask for without asking first: the cart and the chat need theirs to work. The only other cookie, buyer, is set only when you tick the box that asks for it, so your consent is given at that moment. We use no analytics, statistics, advertising or social media cookies, so there is nothing else to agree to.
To delete your saved details, use the forget my details page, or untick “remember my details” at your next checkout.
3 Outside services that see your IP address
Our pages load a few files from other services. These requests set no cookies, but like any request on the internet they tell the service your IP address and your browser’s identification string.
| Service | What it serves | When |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | The typefaces used on the pages | Every page |
| Pexels image CDN | The photographs on our pages and the picture in the chat window | Pages with photos, and when the chat opens |
| jsDelivr | The payment method icons at the foot of the page | Every page |
How we handle personal data in general is explained in our privacy notice.
4 The payment page
When you go to pay, you leave this website for the secure payment page of our payment services provider. That page sets its own cookies, for example to prevent fraud, under the provider’s own cookie notice, which is linked from the payment page.
5 Removing cookies
You can see and delete cookies in your browser’s settings, and block them if you prefer. If you do, the website still works for reading, but:
- without
PHPSESSIDthe cart cannot keep the courses you add; - without
supchat_vyou will no longer see an earlier chat conversation in this browser; - without
buyerthe checkout form starts empty.
6 Changes to this page
If we ever add a cookie, it will be listed here first, and if it is not strictly necessary we will ask for your consent before setting it. The date at the top shows when this page last changed.
