Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 22 May 2025

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as whether you have already seen a cookie notice — so the site works more reliably next time you return.

Cookies do not give us access to your device and cannot read data from other files on it. They are simply a way for websites to remember a small amount of information.

Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on this website:

Essential Cookies Always active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include things like remembering your cookie consent choice so you are not asked again on every page visit.

Examples: cookieConsent preference · Session continuity

Analytics Cookies Optional

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are most visited, how long people spend, and where they come from. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

Examples: Google Analytics · Page view tracking

Marketing Cookies Optional

These cookies allow us to show relevant information about Kinford programmes on other websites you visit. They are only used where you have consented.

Examples: Facebook Pixel · Bing Ads pixel

Preference Cookies Optional

These remember your choices on this site — such as language or region — so you do not have to set them again on each visit.

Examples: Language preference · Display settings

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. These may include:

Google Analytics — to measure site usage
Google Tag Manager — to manage tracking scripts
Facebook Pixel — to measure programme enquiry conversions (only where marketing cookies are accepted)
Social media embedded content — if any social share widgets are present

Each of these third parties has its own privacy and cookie policy. We recommend reviewing them directly if you have questions about how they handle data.

Cookie Duration

Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period, typically between 30 days and 2 years depending on their purpose
Your cookie consent preference is stored as a persistent preference so you are not asked again on every visit
