Cookie Policy | Fire Marshal Training

Our cookies, your choice

This website uses browser storage for the course basket and includes analytics tools to measure visits, course interest and checkout activity. This policy describes those tools and the browser controls available to you.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or the contents of your basket. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies — such as your browser's local storage — can perform comparable functions.

Please note that our course basket uses your browser's localStorage rather than a tracking cookie. Your selected courses are kept on your device between visits. When you proceed to checkout, the selected course codes and quantities are sent to our payment website to prepare your order.

Types of cookies we use

The main technologies used by this website and its linked services are described below:

Basket and essential services

The course basket uses local storage to remember your selection. Checkout, payment, security and learning-platform services may also use storage needed to provide those services. Blocking or clearing this storage can empty your basket or prevent parts of a service from working.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics measures visits and interactions such as viewing courses, adding items to the basket and starting checkout. It can use first-party cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions. Analytics identifiers may be passed to our payment website to connect checkout activity with a visit.

Ahrefs and Cloudflare analytics

We also use Ahrefs Web Analytics for traffic statistics and Cloudflare Web Analytics for page-use and performance information. Ahrefs describes its analytics as cookie-free. These tools are separate from Google Analytics.

External services

If you follow a link to our payment provider, learning platform or social-media pages, that service’s own privacy and cookie information also applies. The analytics tools described above should not be assumed to collect only anonymous information.

Managing your cookie preferences

Most web browsers let you view, delete and block cookies and site storage. Clearing storage can remove your basket, and blocking it can affect checkout or learning-platform functions. This website does not currently provide an on-page cookie preference panel.

To manage cookies through your browser settings, you can usually find the controls within the "Settings", "Preferences" or "Privacy" menus of your browser. The exact steps differ between browsers, and most providers publish clear guidance for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and other browsers. You can also choose to delete existing cookies and set your browser to refuse new ones. Apply your choices on each browser and device you use. Google also provides information about its Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Browser or add-on controls do not necessarily prevent every type of analytics request.
