Cookie policy
How we use cookies and browser storage, and how to control optional services.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use as few as we can get away with. Nothing non-essential is set unless you accept it.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| ld_session | Keeps you signed in. Without it you would have to log in on every page. | Essential | 30 days |
| ld_consent | Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every visit. | Essential | 12 months |
| ld_analytics_visitor | A random, pseudonymous browser identifier for public-page analytics. It is not linked to your account. Only stored after analytics consent. | Analytics | Up to 365 days, or until consent is withdrawn |
| ld_analytics_session | Tab-scoped session storage containing a random session identifier, first measured public page and broad source label. No raw referring URL or query string is stored. | Analytics | Tab lifetime; session resets after 30 minutes of inactivity |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe during checkout to detect fraud. Only set when you are paying. | Essential | 1 year / 30 minutes |
Essential vs analytics
Essential cookies make the site work — staying signed in, remembering your consent choice, and Stripe's fraud checks during payment. These do not require consent because the site cannot function without them.
Analytics cookies are optional. They tell us which pages get used and where people give up, which is how we decide what to fix. Declining them changes nothing about how the site works for you.
Controlling cookies
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies will stop you being able to sign in.
Optional advertising
Monetag advertising loads only after you allow Advertising in Cookie preferences. It is limited to the public homepage for signed-out visitors, not accounts, bookings, payments or learning screens. Ads can open a new tab when you click. Monetag may use cookies or browser storage for ad delivery, frequency limits and measurement, and receive your IP address, browser information and ad interactions. Provider storage names and retention can vary; see Monetag's privacy policy.
Rejecting advertising does not restrict access. To withdraw consent, turn Advertising off in Cookie preferences. The page reloads to stop running ad scripts. This does not erase information already received by the provider; use your browser settings to clear its stored data. Advertising push notifications are not enabled by this integration.
