Cookie Policy

Last updated: 11 September 2026

This policy explains the cookies Gloucester Maths Academy uses on its website and parent portal. It follows UK law: PECR and the UK GDPR.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files your browser saves on your device. Some are needed for a website to work. Others are optional, for example for analytics or advertising.

2. The cookies we use

We only use cookies that are needed to run the portal safely:

• Sign-in cookie (called session): keeps you signed in as you move around the portal.
• Security: stops other websites from sending forms to us pretending to be you.
• Remember me: if you tick it when you sign in, you stay signed in on that device until you sign out.
• New accounts: after you sign up, you stay signed in on that device for 30 days.

3. Why we don't ask for consent

These cookies are needed for sign-in and security, so the law doesn't require us to ask for your consent to use them.

4. What we don't use

• No advertising cookies
• No tracking or marketing pixels
• No analytics cookies

5. Other websites

Some pages load things from other companies, such as web fonts, or link to other sites like Google Maps, YouTube or Facebook. Those companies may collect technical information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

6. Controlling cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the ones we use, you won't be able to sign in to the portal.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. If we ever add optional cookies, such as analytics, we'll ask for your consent first where the law requires it. Any update changes the "Last updated" date at the top.
