Cookie Policy

Last updated: 6 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Gloucester Maths Academy uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and parent/tutor portal. This policy is intended to align with UK PECR and UK GDPR requirements.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. Some are strictly necessary for secure website operation, while others are optional (for example analytics or advertising cookies).

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies We Use

We currently use only strictly necessary cookies/session technologies needed to run the portal securely.

  • Session/authentication cookie (commonly named session): keeps you signed in and maintains secure session state.
  • Security/session controls: supports CSRF protection and secure request handling tied to your active session.
  • Remember-me session extension (when selected at login): extends session lifetime for convenience within configured security limits.

3. Legal Basis for Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary to provide requested services (such as secure sign-in and portal access). Because they are strictly necessary, consent is not required under PECR for these specific cookies.

4. Cookies We Do Not Currently Use

  • No first-party advertising cookies.
  • No first-party behavioural tracking or marketing pixels.
  • No optional analytics cookies are currently required for core operation.

5. Third-Party Requests and External Links

Our pages may load third-party resources (for example web fonts) or link to external websites (for example Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook). Those third parties may process technical data according to their own privacy/cookie policies once your browser connects to them.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage cookies using your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. If you disable essential cookies, login and portal features may not function correctly.

7. Future Changes to Cookie Use

If we introduce optional analytics or marketing cookies in future, we will update this policy and, where required, request consent before placing non-essential cookies.

8. Contact

If you have cookie-related questions, email [email protected] or use the website contact form and include "Cookie Policy" in your message.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Material updates will be shown by the "Last updated" date on this page.
