Cookies

Last updated 24 April 2026.

The short answer: we don't set tracking cookies.

What we use

Our hosting provider (Vercel) may set a small number of technical cookies so the site works correctly — for example, remembering whether your browser has already loaded a cached copy of a page. These are called “strictly necessary” cookies under UK law and don't require consent.

Our analytics (Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights) run in cookieless mode. They measure page views and performance in aggregate without setting any identifiers on your device.

What we don't use

  • No advertising cookies.
  • No cross-site tracking.
  • No third-party marketing pixels.
  • No cookie consent banner, because we don't have anything you'd need to consent to.

Third-party embeds

The course finder map loads tile images from OpenStreetMap. That request sends OpenStreetMap your IP address in the normal course of an HTTP request but does not set any cookies. If you click through to a course's own website, that site's cookie rules apply — not ours.
