Cookie Policy

​

This Cookies policy explains how Schoolreaders uses cookies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what cookies are, why we use them and your rights to control them.

​

What is a cookie?

A "cookie" is a piece of information that is stored on your device if you agree to this and which records how you move your way around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.

We are required to obtain your consent for all non-essential cookies used on our website. You can block cookies (including essential cookies) at any time by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block essential cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

​

How do we use cookies?

We use cookies to track your use of our website. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns with regards how you are using our website. This helps us to develop and improve our website as well as products and / or services in response to what you might need or want.

​

We use a combination of session cookies and persistent cookies.

• Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page, but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or

 

• Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer, and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. (We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics.)

 

What cookies do we use and why?

The cookies we use fall into 4 categories:

 

• Essential cookies

These components are required for the basic functions of the website and cannot be switched off.

 

We use them for things like remembering your privacy settings or any information that you enter into online forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but then some parts of the website won’t work.

 

• Functional cookies

These components enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website looks or behaves.

​

This enhances the functionality of the website and allows us to create a personalised experience.

 

These cookies are set by us and by any third-party providers whose services we use on the website (for example, where we have interactive maps or embedded videos).

 

• Analytical cookies

These components enable a website to analyse the website usage to measure and improve performance.

 

You can still use the site without analytical cookies, but we won’t know when you’ve visited and won’t be able to monitor and improve its performance.

 

• Marketing cookies

These components enable tracking technology to collect data about user behaviour on the website or across websites.

 

Marketing cookies do not usually collect and store personal information that could directly identify you, such as your name or email address, although some do. Instead, they use information such as your browser type or IP address to identify you.

 

You can still use the site without marketing cookies, but the adverts you see will be less targeted. Turning marketing cookies off will not stop you from seeing our adverts on other websites.
