Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit websites. They help websites remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.

This website is run by Language Link International Limited (company number 10505018), 33 Mizpah Grove, Manchester, BL8 2SD.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly. These are the only cookies we use.

We do not use performance, functional or marketing cookies, and we do not show a cookie banner because there is nothing to opt in to.

Similar Technologies

We also use similar technologies such as:

• Local Storage: Browser storage that keeps a draft of the student questionnaire on your device while you fill it in, so an answer is not lost if the page closes
• Session Storage: Temporary storage during your browsing session that remembers which link or advert brought you to the site, so the form you send records it. It is deleted when you close the tab

Essential cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with our services and cannot be switched off. On this website they are the sign-in cookies of your family account. If you only read the site or send us a question, no cookie is set.

What Essential Cookies Do

• Session Management: Keep you signed in to your family account

Examples of Essential Cookies

Legal Basis: These cookies are necessary for the performance of our contract with you and to comply with our legal obligations. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using our website.

We count visits to our pages with Vercel Web Analytics, from Vercel, the company that hosts the website. It uses no cookies and does not identify you. It tells us how many people visit each page, not who they are.

We do not use Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Google Ads, the Facebook Pixel, the LinkedIn Insight Tag or any other tracking or advertising tool.

Managing Your Cookies

Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you block cookies, you can still read the whole website and send us a question, but you cannot sign in to your family account. Signing out deletes the sign-in cookie.

Children's Privacy

We take special care regarding children's online privacy:

• No cookie is used for advertising or to build a profile of anyone, child or adult
• Enhanced privacy protection for student-related data
• Clear information provided to parents about cookie usage
• Regular review of children's data processing activities

We work with trusted third-party service providers to run the website. They do not set advertising or tracking cookies on our pages, and they have their own privacy policies.
