Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
Purpose of this Policy
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains how TIF Academy Online (“we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. Our goal is to provide transparency and maintain a user-friendly experience that supports legitimate educational purposes without deploying unnecessary tracking.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit so that the experience remains consistent, secure, and efficient. Related technologies may include local storage, pixel tags, and server-side identifiers that work together to recognise a browser session and attribute basic actions on the site.
Cookie lifespans and origins
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted by you.
- First-party cookies are set by our domain to support site functionality.
- Third-party cookies are set by providers that deliver analytics or advertising services on our behalf.
Categories of cookies we use
Essential, Analytics, and Marketing are the only categories we use. These categories align with our Privacy Policy and the on-site consent controls.
- Essential Cookies: Required for core site functions such as session continuity, security, and remembering your cookie choices. These do not require consent.
- Analytics Cookies: Activate only with consent. These help us understand aggregate usage patterns (for example, page popularity and time on site) so we can improve navigation and content. When in use, IP addresses are processed with safeguards such as truncation or anonymisation where supported by the provider.
- Marketing Cookies: Activate only with consent. These support advertising and remarketing activities by associating visits with campaign performance. They may contribute to audience building and conversion measurement.

Your choices and consent
When you first visit the site, you are presented with a cookie banner. You may choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences granularly. You can also revisit your choice at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If you reject non-essential cookies, we will deactivate Analytics and Marketing categories and remove related identifiers where possible.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including clearing stored cookies and setting restrictions on future storage. You can typically find these controls in settings labelled “Privacy” or “Security.” If you clear cookies, your consent choices may reset and you may need to review preferences again on your next visit.
Third-party providers
Subject to consent, we may rely on service providers for analytics and advertising measurement, such as Google Analytics 4 and the Meta Pixel. These providers process cookie or device identifiers and usage data to deliver aggregate reporting and, where enabled, marketing capabilities. We do not permit providers to use our site data for their own independent commercial purposes. International data transfers may occur in accordance with appropriate safeguards as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
Policy updates
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our services. Material updates will be signposted on the website. Please review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and your options.
