1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Screen-Safe (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website and online learning platform.

Our website and learning platform are hosted using LearnWorlds, which uses cookies to provide core website and platform functionality.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

They can be used to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, enable secure transactions and help websites understand how their services are being used.

Some cookies are essential for a website to operate. Others, such as analytics or marketing cookies, are optional and are only used where appropriate consent has been given.

3. How we use cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• keep our website and learning platform secure;
• allow users to sign in and remain signed in;
• remember your cookie preferences;
• provide functionality you request;
• process payments where applicable;
• understand how our website is being used, where optional analytics have been enabled; and
• support additional services or embedded content where these are used.

We do not use optional cookies unless the appropriate consent has been obtained.

4. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website or learning platform to function correctly. They do not normally require your consent because they are necessary to provide a service you have requested.

LearnWorlds may use cookies including:

XSRF-TOKEN
Used to support website security and protect user sessions.

DPSettings
Used to remember your cookie preferences.

slim_session
Used to maintain login and session information while you use the platform.

LearnWorlds may update the cookies used within its platform from time to time.

5. Payment cookies

Where you purchase a product or service through our website, payment processing may be provided by Stripe.

Stripe may place cookies required to process payments securely, prevent fraud and recognise a browser or device during a transaction.

These may include:

__stripe_sid
Supports secure payment processing.

__stripe_mid
Helps distinguish browsers for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.

cid
Supports Stripe payment functionality.

These cookies will only be present where Stripe payment functionality is being used.

6. Analytics and optional cookies

We may use analytics or other optional technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website and improve our services.

These technologies may collect information such as:

• pages visited;
• approximate visit duration;
• browser or device type;
• how visitors arrived at the website; and
• general interaction with website features.

Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated where you have given the appropriate consent.

If we introduce additional analytics, advertising or tracking tools in future, we will update this policy and our cookie settings accordingly.

7. Third-party content and services

Some parts of our website or learning platform may include services provided by third parties, such as:

• payment providers;
• video or media platforms;
• webinar or meeting services;
• forms or email services; or
• other embedded tools.

These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when you interact with their services.

Where those cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated in accordance with your cookie preferences.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices.

8. Your cookie choices

When you first visit our website, you may be given the option to accept or manage non-essential cookies.

You can change your preferences where the website provides a cookie-settings option.

You can also control cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to:

• view cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block some or all cookies; and
• change how websites are permitted to use cookies.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website or learning platform from working correctly.

9. Consent

Under UK privacy and electronic communications law, we must provide clear information about cookies and similar technologies and, where required, obtain your consent before using non-essential cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service you have requested.

You should be able to make a genuine choice about optional cookies and change your preferences later.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy where:

• our website or learning platform changes;
• we introduce or remove third-party services;
• the cookies we use change; or
• relevant legal or regulatory requirements change.

The latest version will always be available on this website.
