This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use and protect personal information more generally.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, telephone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow websites to recognise a device, remember preferences, operate website functions, understand how visitors use a website and, where permitted, provide relevant advertising.

Cookies may collect information such as:

internet protocol address;
device and browser information;
pages visited;
links selected;
date and time of a visit;
referring website;
approximate location; and
cookie or device identifiers.

Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and software-development tools, may perform comparable functions. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.

3. Who Places Cookies?

Cookies may be placed by:

EYBS or our website platform: These are known as first-party cookies.
Another organisation whose service appears on our website: These are known as third-party cookies.

Third-party providers may include website-hosting services, payment providers, booking systems, embedded-video platforms, social-media services and analytics providers.

4. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate or to provide a service that you have requested.

They may be used to:

maintain website security;
prevent fraud or misuse;
support shopping-basket or checkout functions;
process payments;
remember privacy choices;
maintain a logged-in session;
balance website traffic; or
provide forms or other essential website features.

Strictly necessary cookies do not normally require consent, but they cannot always be disabled through our cookie settings because the website may not function correctly without them.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and provide enhanced features.

They may remember:

language or regional preferences;
accessibility settings;
previous selections;
form information;
display preferences; or
other website customisations.

We will request consent before using functional cookies where they are not strictly necessary.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They may tell us:

how many people visit the website;
which pages are viewed;
how visitors reach the website;
how long visitors remain on a page;
whether errors occur; and
how visitors move around the website.

We use this information to assess website performance and improve our content and services.

Analytics cookies will not be placed unless you consent, except where the law permits a relevant exemption.

Advertising and targeting cookies

Advertising cookies may be used to:

measure advertising performance;
limit how often an advert appears;
build an understanding of visitor interests;
personalise advertising; or
track activity across websites or services.

These cookies may be placed by third-party advertising or social-media providers.

We will not place advertising or targeting cookies unless you have given consent.

Social-media and embedded-content cookies

Our website may include content or features supplied by other services, such as:

embedded videos;
social-media buttons or feeds;
maps;
online booking tools;
payment services;
review widgets; or
external forms.

These providers may use cookies to operate their content, measure usage or track interactions.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, the relevant content should not load, or the cookies should not be placed, until consent has been given.

5. Cookies Used on Our Website

The exact cookies used may change when our website platform, integrations or service providers are updated.

Our cookie-consent tool should display the current cookies detected on the website, together with their:

6. Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit our website, you should be presented with a cookie banner or privacy control.

The banner should allow you to:

accept non-essential cookies;
reject non-essential cookies;
choose individual cookie categories; and
access this Cookie Policy.

Non-essential cookies should remain disabled unless and until you make a clear choice to accept them.

Continuing to browse the website without making a choice does not by itself constitute consent.

The option to reject non-essential cookies should be as easy to find and use as the option to accept them.

7. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

You can change your cookie choices at any time through the Cookie Settings or Privacy Settings link displayed on our website.

Withdrawing consent will prevent new non-essential cookies from being placed. It may not automatically remove cookies already stored on your device.

You can remove existing cookies through your browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any cookie use that took place before consent was withdrawn.

8. Browser Controls

Most internet browsers allow you to:

view stored cookies;
delete individual or all cookies;
block cookies from particular websites;
block third-party cookies;
block all cookies; and
delete cookies when the browser closes.

The method varies between browsers and devices. Please consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for current instructions.

Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of our website from working correctly. For example, shopping, booking, payment, login or form functions may become unavailable.

9. Third-Party Services

Our website may link to or use third-party services such as:

online booking platforms;
payment processors;
videoconferencing services;
embedded media;
social-media platforms;
website analytics providers;
email-marketing services; and
maps or external forms.

When you interact with a third-party service, that provider may place its own cookies or collect information under its own privacy and cookie policies.

EYBS does not control all cookies set directly by third parties. We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by the relevant organisation.

10. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be:

session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the settings chosen by the provider.

The current duration of individual cookies should be available through the website’s cookie-settings panel or detailed cookie list.

We will review cookie durations periodically and avoid retaining cookie information for longer than reasonably necessary.

11. Personal Information Collected Through Cookies

Some cookie information may constitute personal information where it identifies, relates to or can be linked with an individual or device.

Where cookies involve personal information, that information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Depending on the cookie and its purpose, our lawful basis may be:

consent;
legitimate interests; or
another basis permitted by law.

Where consent is legally required for a cookie, consent will also be the appropriate basis for storing or accessing information through that cookie.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

cookies are added or removed;
a website provider or integration changes;
our use of website information changes; or
legal or regulatory requirements change.

The latest version will be published on our website with an updated revision date.
