1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Eclipse Academy Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on https://eclipse-academy.org/.
It should be read together with our Website Privacy Notice.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, tablet or mobile device when someone visits a website. Cookies may allow a website to function properly, protect forms and user sessions, remember preferences or understand how a website is used.
Cookies may be:
- session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed; or
- persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period.
Cookies set directly by Eclipse Academy’s website are first-party cookies. Cookies set by an external service are third-party cookies.
3. Cookies used by our website
Our website is operated using WordPress and includes WPForms and WooCommerce functionality. The exact cookies activated can depend on the pages and features used.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies support essential functions such as:
- website security;
- administration and authenticated access;
- protecting and submitting online forms;
- maintaining user sessions; and
- shopping-basket functions if the online store is activated.
WordPress may also set authentication, security or preference cookies for authorised administrators who sign in to the website. These are not ordinarily set for general visitors unless the relevant function is used.
WPForms and website-security services may use session tokens or similar technologies to protect forms from spam, prevent duplicate submissions and process submitted information.
4. Analytics and advertising cookies
As at the date of this policy, Eclipse Academy does not intentionally use Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel or other non-essential behavioural-advertising cookies on the public website.
If analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are introduced, we will:
- update this Cookie Policy;
- provide clear information about the technology;
- introduce an appropriate consent-management banner; and
- prevent non-essential cookies from being placed before valid consent is obtained.
5. Third-party websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including awarding organisations and examination-booking services.
Following a link to another website may allow that organisation to set its own cookies. Eclipse Academy does not control cookies placed after a visitor leaves our website. Visitors should review the relevant third party’s privacy and cookie information.
6. Managing cookies
Visitors can block or delete cookies using their browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent forms, administration areas, shopping functions or other website features from operating correctly.
Browser guidance is normally available through the browser’s privacy or security settings.
7. Changes to the cookies we use
The website may change as courses and online services develop. We will review the website periodically and update this policy if cookies or similar technologies change.
