Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Course2Career ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (as amended) ("PECR"). By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings or other cookie preferences to reject cookies.
What Are Cookies?
As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site or browse from one page to another.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of our website. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain features and services may not be available, and the site may not perform as intended. As these are strictly necessary, we do not require your consent to place them.
- Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. These cookies help us understand which pages are visited most often, how users navigate the site, and whether users receive error messages. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. For more details, see the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.
- Marketing/Advertising Cookies: We may use tools like the Facebook Pixel to deliver relevant advertisements to you and measure the performance of our ad campaigns. These cookies track your browsing habits and help us understand your interests. For more information, see the Facebook Cookie Policy.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies remember choices you make (such as your language or region) to personalize your experience. They enable enhanced features and content but are not strictly necessary for the website to function.
- Account-Related Cookies: If you create an account with us, we use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.
- Login-Related Cookies: We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.
- Email Newsletter Cookies: This site offers newsletter or email subscription services, and cookies may be used to remember if you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications which might only be valid to subscribed/unsubscribed users.
- E-Commerce Cookies: This site offers e-commerce or payment facilities, and some cookies are essential to ensure that your order is remembered between pages so that we can process it properly.
- Survey Cookies: From time to time, we offer user surveys and questionnaires to provide you with interesting insights, helpful tools, or to understand our user base more accurately. These surveys may use cookies to remember who has already taken part in a survey or to provide you with accurate results after you change pages.
- Form Cookies: When you submit data through a form such as those found on contact pages or comment forms, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.
- Preference Cookies: In order to provide you with a great experience on this site, we provide the functionality to set your preferences for how this site runs when you use it. In order to remember your preferences, we need to set cookies so that this information can be called whenever you interact with a page affected by your preferences.

When you grant consent, Google is immediately notified and may then place cookies as described above.
