Cookies
What cookies this site uses, how long they last, and how to manage them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences or understand how pages are used. For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our privacy notice.
How we use cookies
We use essential cookies to remember your cookie consent choice. If you accept analytics, we may use analytics cookies to understand aggregate visit patterns. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not block access to programme pages or the contact form.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| smartbizapi_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject choice for the consent banner | 1 year (localStorage) | Smartbiz API |
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for analytics (only if accepted) | up to 2 years | Google Analytics (if enabled) |
| _gid | Distinguishes visitors for analytics (only if accepted) | 24 hours | Google Analytics (if enabled) |
Essential consent storage may use localStorage rather than a traditional cookie; it serves the same preference purpose.
Managing cookies
Use the Accept or Reject buttons on our banner on first visit. You can clear site data in your browser to reset the choice and see the banner again. Browser settings also let you block or delete cookies. Disabling essential storage may cause the banner to reappear each visit; site training content remains available.
Third-party cookies
If analytics are enabled after consent, third parties such as Google may set cookies subject to their own policies. We do not load marketing pixels for retargeting on this site.
Changes
We may update this page when our cookie use changes. The revised text will appear here.
