Cookie Policy

Strictly necessary

We use browser localStorage to remember which lessons you've completed and to re-display your certificate confirmation on a refresh. This is essential to the service and does not require consent under PECR.

Stripe checkout

When you start a checkout, Stripe sets cookies on its own domain to process the payment securely. See Stripe's cookie policy.

Analytics (with your consent)

We load Google Tag Manager, which runs Google Analytics 4, and Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps and session recordings). They tell us which pages and steps of the course people use or abandon, so we can improve them. We never send them your name, email, date of birth or ID number.

If you click Accept on the cookie banner, Google Analytics sets the first-party cookies _ga and _ga_*, and Clarity sets _clck and _clsk, so visits from the same browser can be recognised.

We operate Google Consent Mode v2: until you choose, and if you click Reject, analytics storage is set to denied and no analytics cookies are written. Google Analytics and Clarity then only receive cookieless, unidentified signals about page use.

We do not run advertising tags and do not use advertising cookies.

Managing your choice

You can change your decision at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, which reopens the cookie banner. If you withdraw your consent by clicking Reject, we delete the analytics cookies set by your earlier acceptance (_ga, _ga_*, _clck and _clsk). You can also clear all stored data at any time from your browser settings. For questions, contact support@foodsafetycertificateuk.co.uk.
