This Cookie Policy explains how inTEC Education Services Limited, trading as inTEC Education, uses cookies and related browser technologies on its informational website. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files placed on a visitor’s device. Similar technologies include browser local storage and scripts that access information stored on a device. They may be necessary to operate a site, remember privacy choices, protect forms or measure website usage.
2. The technologies used on this website
Our web developer supplied the following inventory for the planned public website configuration. Some cookie names contain identifiers that vary by Google Analytics property or WordPress editor account.
| Cookie / storage | Provider and purpose | Lifetime | Category / consent |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 through Google Site Kit. Distinguishes browsers so visits can be counted. | 2 years | Analytics: consent required |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics 4 through Google Site Kit. Maintains information associated with a site visit. The identifier in the actual name varies. | 2 years | Analytics: consent required |
| cookieyes-consent | CookieYes. Remembers the visitor’s consent preferences. | 1 year | Necessary: no consent required |
| _GRECAPTCHA (google.com) | Google reCAPTCHA through Gravity Forms. Helps identify automated form submissions and spam. | 6 months | Necessary form security: see note below |
| _grecaptcha (browser storage) | Google reCAPTCHA through Gravity Forms. Supports anti-spam and bot detection. | Until browser storage is cleared | Necessary form security: see note below |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_*, wordpress_test_cookie, wp-settings-* | WordPress. Supports authentication and settings for authorised website editors; not a public visitor login service. | Session to 1 year, depending on item | Necessary for editors; no visitor consent required |
Form security note: reCAPTCHA is used to protect submitted forms. Its treatment as necessary depends on the processing being limited to proportionate security purposes. The website does not use reCAPTCHA as a basis for general analytics or advertising.
3. How analytics consent operates
We use CookieYes to present cookie choices and record preferences. Visitors can accept or reject optional analytics cookies and can change their choices using the Cookie Settings control available on the website.
Our intended launch configuration uses Basic Google Consent Mode managed by CookieYes, with consent management disabled within Google Site Kit to avoid duplicate settings. Google Analytics tags are not loaded before consent to analytics is given; rejecting or withdrawing consent prevents further non-essential analytics tracking.
Strictly necessary technologies can operate without consent where an applicable legal exception permits this. Declining optional analytics cookies will not prevent visitors from browsing the site or sending an enquiry.
4. Google Analytics and information collected
If you consent to analytics, Google Analytics 4 may collect device or browser identifiers, pages visited, visit timing and website interaction information to help us understand site usage and improve content. Google provides its own information about the handling of data associated with Google services. We do not use Microsoft Clarity or advertising pixels on the basis of the inventory supplied for this website.
5. Changing or withdrawing choices
Select Cookie Settings on the website to review and alter your choices. You may also clear stored cookies or site data using your browser. Clearing the CookieYes preference record may cause the consent prompt to appear again. Browser controls do not replace the choices provided through the banner.
6. Third-party services and transfers
Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA may process technical information through systems or support arrangements outside the UK. CookieYes may receive limited information required to provide consent management. Our Privacy Policy describes the applicable information-sharing arrangements and international safeguards.
7. Updates and contact
We review this inventory when technologies or their settings change. If new optional technologies are introduced, we will update the information and request consent where necessary before using them.
