Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Rondo Academy uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use and protect personal information.

What are cookies?

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

They can be used to help a website function properly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the website and, in some cases, support advertising or marketing.

Similar technologies, such as tracking pixels or local storage, may also be used for comparable purposes.

How we use cookies

Rondo Academy may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Make the website work correctly
  • Maintain website security
  • Remember visitor preferences
  • Understand how visitors use the website
  • Measure website traffic and performance
  • Improve the usability and effectiveness of the website
  • Measure marketing activity where applicable

Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others are optional.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

  • Website security
  • Cookie-consent preferences
  • Form functionality
  • Session management
  • Basic website operation

These cookies do not normally require consent because they are necessary to provide the website or a service requested by the user.

Analytics cookies

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with the Rondo Academy website.

Analytics information may include:

  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on the website
  • Approximate location
  • Device and browser type
  • How visitors arrived at the website
  • Interactions with website content

This information helps us understand which areas of the website are useful and where improvements can be made.

Where consent is required, analytics cookies will not be activated until you have chosen to accept them.

Google Analytics

If Google Analytics is enabled on this website, it may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website usage.

Google may process this information on our behalf to provide website analytics services.

You can choose whether to allow analytics cookies through the website’s cookie-consent controls.

Further information about Google’s handling of data is available through Google’s own privacy documentation.

Third-party services

Some parts of the Rondo Academy website may link to or interact with third-party services.

For example, we currently use Bookwhen for online booking and availability.

When you follow a link to Bookwhen, you leave the Rondo Academy website and enter Bookwhen’s own platform. Bookwhen may use its own cookies and similar technologies, which are governed by its own cookie and privacy policies.

Other third-party services used by the website may also place cookies where appropriate.

Marketing and advertising cookies

If Rondo Academy uses advertising or marketing technologies in the future, such as the Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking or similar services, these may use cookies or tracking technologies to:

  • Measure advertising performance
  • Understand whether advertising leads to website visits or enquiries
  • Build or measure audiences
  • Help deliver more relevant advertising

These technologies will only be activated where the appropriate consent has been obtained.

If Rondo Academy is not currently using advertising pixels, I would remove this section until you actually introduce them.

Cookie consent

When you first visit the Rondo Academy website, you may be presented with a cookie-consent banner or settings panel.

This allows you to choose whether to permit optional cookies.

You should be able to:

  • Accept optional cookies
  • Reject optional cookies
  • Adjust your preferences
  • Change your choices later

Continuing to browse the website by itself is not treated as valid consent for optional cookies. Current ICO guidance says consent should involve a clear positive action and visitors should have meaningful control over non-essential cookies.

Managing your cookie preferences

You can change your cookie preferences using the Cookie Settings option available on this website.

You can also control cookies through your browser.

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when the browser closes

Blocking certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

The ICO also confirms that browser controls can be used to allow, block or delete cookies.

How long cookies remain on your device

Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies.

Others may remain on your device for a set period and are known as persistent cookies.

The exact duration depends on the individual cookie and the service that sets it.

Cookies currently used

I’d strongly recommend adding an actual cookie table here once the site is live and you’ve run a cookie scan.

For example:

CookieProviderPurposeTypeDuration
Cookie consent preferenceRondo AcademyRemembers your cookie choicesNecessary14 Days
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes website visitors for analyticsAnalytics365 Days
_ga_*Google AnalyticsMaintains session/analytics informationAnalytics365 Days

Do not publish that table blindly. The final list should match the cookies the live site is actually setting.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:

  • The cookies or technologies we use
  • Our website
  • Third-party services
  • Legal or regulatory requirements
The latest version will always be available on this website.
