What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information between pages and between visits — for example, whether you have already accepted our cookie notice.
Cookies do not contain personal information by themselves, though in combination with other data they can sometimes identify you. Where that is the case, our Privacy Policy applies.
Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies Always active
These are required for the website to function correctly. They manage things like your cookie consent preference and session continuity. They cannot be switched off without affecting the site's basic operation.
Examples: cookieConsent (localStorage)
Analytics Cookies Optional
Help us understand which pages and programs attract the most interest, so we can improve our content and structure. Data collected is aggregated and not tied to any identifiable individual.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid)
Marketing Cookies Optional
Used to measure the effectiveness of outreach efforts and to avoid showing content repetitively. We use these sparingly and only with your consent.
Examples: Facebook Pixel (_fbp), Bing Ads (MUID)
Preference Cookies Optional
Remember settings you have selected — such as your cookie preferences — so you do not need to repeat them on every visit.
Examples: language, display settings
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use to understand how our site performs and to reach prospective learners. These include:
- Google Analytics – aggregated usage statistics
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel – campaign performance measurement
- Microsoft Bing – search advertising measurement
These providers have their own privacy policies. You can opt out of their data collection through their respective platforms.

Your Rights
You have the right to withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time using the controls above. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place while consent was given.
Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not prevent you from accessing our website or program information — some features may simply work with less personalisation.
