Which cookies our website uses, why we use them and how you can change your choices.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit. They let the site remember things, such as your cookie choices or the fact that you are partway through a placement test booking. Some cookies are set by us. Others are set by services we use, like analytics or video tools for online classes. This policy explains which kinds the Amberleaf English website uses and how you can control them, in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK data protection law.
Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. These make the site work. They remember your cookie preferences, keep forms secure and let you move through booking pages. They cannot be switched off in our cookie banner, because the site would not function properly without them.
Functional cookies. These remember choices you make, such as your preferred contact method or whether you were looking at in-person or online classes, so you do not have to start again on your next visit.
Analytics cookies. With your permission, these tell us which pages people visit, how they arrive and where they leave. We use the results to improve course pages and make information about General English, Business English, IELTS and Cambridge preparation easier to find. The data is grouped and does not tell us who you are.
Embedded content. Some pages may show videos or maps from other providers, and those providers may set their own cookies. We only load them once you have agreed, where consent is required.
We do not use cookies to sell your information.
Managing your cookies
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject cookies that are not strictly necessary. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of each page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the help pages of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge explain how. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as booking forms, from working.
How long cookies last
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period or until you delete them, and the length depends on the cookie's purpose.
Changes to this policy
If we add new tools to the site, we will update this page and, where needed, ask for your consent again.
