What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your device when you visit them.

They allow websites to remember certain information, support essential functions and, depending on their purpose, understand how visitors use online services.

Similar technologies, such as browser storage and tracking scripts, may also be subject to cookie-related privacy rules.

03

Types of Cookies

Cookies are commonly grouped into the following categories. The categories below explain their purposes and do not necessarily mean every type is currently active on our website.

Essential Cookies

Necessary

These support core website functionality such as security, session management and services specifically requested by visitors. Cookies that meet the applicable legal exception do not require consent.

Analytics Cookies

Non-essential or exempt

These help website operators understand visits, page usage and performance. Consent or another applicable legal exception is required before these technologies can be used.

Functional Cookies

Depends on purpose

These can remember preferences and support additional website features. Whether they require consent depends on their specific purpose and whether a legal exception applies.

Marketing Cookies

Consent required

These may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, personalise advertising or track interactions across websites. Marketing cookies generally require consent.

04

How We Use Cookies

Cookie technology may be used to support the following website activities:

  • Keeping the website secure and operating correctly.
  • Supporting online forms, enquiries and class bookings.
  • Remembering choices or preferences where supported.
  • Measuring website performance and visitor activity where permitted.
  • Supporting additional embedded or third-party services where enabled.
The use of a cookie for one purpose does not automatically make it essential. We assess whether consent is needed according to the technology and its actual function.
05

Third-Party Cookies

Some features on our website may use services supplied by external providers. Depending on the feature, these services may set cookies or use similar technologies.

Examples include embedded media, booking systems, analytics tools and other website integrations.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies. We aim to provide appropriate information and controls where required.

06

Cookie Consent

Under UK privacy legislation, cookies and similar technologies generally require consent unless an applicable legal exception applies.

Where consent is required, it must be informed, freely given and demonstrated through a clear choice.

  • Simply continuing to browse our website does not constitute cookie consent.
  • Non-essential cookies requiring consent should not be activated before that consent is given.
  • Visitors should be able to refuse or withdraw consent without unnecessary difficulty.
  • Refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to essential website content.
This policy provides information about cookies. It does not itself collect or manage cookie consent. Any consent choices must be handled by the website's actual cookie controls.
07

Managing Your Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through the privacy settings in your web browser.

Most modern browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them, block third-party cookies or restrict future cookie storage.

Blocking certain essential cookies may affect website functionality, including some online booking or registration features.

Browser controls do not always replace website-level consent settings. Where we provide cookie preference controls, those controls can be used to manage applicable optional cookies.
08

Cookie Details & Retention

Cookies may be temporary, lasting only for a browsing session, or persistent, remaining on a device until they expire or are deleted.

Different cookies can have different expiry periods, depending on their purpose and the provider responsible.

We aim to maintain accurate information about the cookies used on our website, including their providers, purposes and retention periods.

A complete cookie inventory should be based on a current technical scan of the website. This page does not list unverified cookie names, providers or expiry periods.
09

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, third-party services, technology or legal requirements.

Updated versions will be published on this page. Where required, we will request fresh consent when the purposes of relevant cookies or technologies change.
