Cookies and similar storage
Last updated 18 August 2026. This page explains what cookies are, what this teaching site uses, and how to refuse them without losing the syllabus, journal, or contact form.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site can store in your browser. Similar tools, such as localStorage, keep a string on your device until you clear it. They can remember a choice, keep a session, or help a publisher understand which pages were opened.
Types we use
Essential storage on this site is limited to remembering whether you accepted or rejected the banner, so we do not ask on every page load. We do not run advertising cookies. If you accept, we may load a lightweight page-view note for our own understanding of which essays are read; rejecting that preference does not hide courses, prices, or forms. Analytics, when present, is first-party in intent and is never a condition of using the site.
Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| manager-cachecore-cookie-consent | Stores Accept or Reject so the banner does not return every visit. Held in localStorage rather than a network cookie. | Until you clear site data for this origin | Manager Cachecore (first party) |
| mc_read_path (only if you Accept) | Optional, non-blocking record of the path you opened, used to see which journal essays are actually read. Not set if you Reject. | Session, or up to 7 days if the host enables it later | Manager Cachecore (first party) |
| Fonts / image CDN requests | Third-party requests to load typefaces and photographs. Those hosts may set their own cookies according to their policies. They are not required for the HTML and CSS of this site if you block them. | Set by the third party | Google Fonts; Unsplash (image host) |
How to manage or disable cookies
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. You can also delete site data for manager-cachecore.digital in your browser settings, or block cookies for this origin. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies globally. On many devices you can enable a “do not track” or equivalent control; we still honour an explicit Reject on this site.
Third-party cookies
We do not drop marketing pixels. Embedded fonts and images may cause Google or Unsplash to process your IP address and possibly set cookies. If you prefer not to contact those hosts, a browser content blocker will still leave our HTML, CSS, and forms usable, though the page will look plainer.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting or blocking storage does not close the site. You may see the banner again on a fresh device. Optional read-path notes will not run. Images or fonts may fail if you block those hosts, which is an aesthetic change, not a loss of enrolment rights — enrolment is not completed in the browser.
