Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, why we use them, and how you can control or switch them off.
Last updated: 7 August 2026
01
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember things between pages and between visits — that you are logged in, what is in your basket, or which lesson you last opened.
This policy also covers similar technologies that work in comparable ways, including local storage, pixels, tags and tracking scripts. We refer to all of them as cookies for simplicity.
Cookies cannot read other files on your device or carry viruses.
02
Session and persistent cookies
Cookies are either session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which stay on your device for a set period so the site remembers you next time.
Cookies are also either first-party, set by this website, or third-party, set by another organisation whose service we use — such as a payment provider or an analytics tool.
03
The cookies this website uses
We group the cookies on this site into four categories.
Strictly necessary — always on
These cookies are required for the website to work, and cannot be switched off through our cookie banner. They do not track you for marketing.
They keep you logged in to your account, remember the contents of your basket, carry your order securely through checkout, record your course progress, protect forms against abuse, and remember the cookie preferences you have already set.

Functional — improve how the site works
These remember choices you have made so the site behaves the way you expect — such as your preferred settings, whether you have dismissed a notice, and whether you have allowed browser notifications.
Switching these off will not break the site, but some things will stop remembering you.

Analytics — help us improve
These tell us how the website is used: which pages are visited, how people move through the site, where they arrive from, and where something is going wrong.
The information is used in aggregate to improve our courses and pages. We do not use it to try to identify you personally, and these cookies are only set if you accept them.

Marketing — only with your consent
These may be used to measure how well our advertising works and to show relevant content on other platforms. They are set by third parties such as advertising and social media networks.
These are never set unless you consent to them, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Third-party services on this site
Some cookies are set by organisations whose services we rely on to run the Academy. Each has its own privacy and cookie policy, which governs what it does with the information:
- Our website platform and learning system — to run your account, deliver courses and record progress.
- Payment providers — to process payments securely and detect fraud at checkout.
- Analytics tools — to understand how the website is used.
- Email and marketing tools — to manage sign-ups and measure whether emails are opened.
- Forms and lead capture — used for free downloads and enquiry forms.
- Push notification service — if you allow browser notifications.
- Embedded content — video players and social media embeds may set their own cookies when you interact with them.
We do not control third-party cookies. If you want to know exactly what one of these providers does with the information it collects, check that provider’s own cookie policy.
05
Your consent
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may set strictly necessary cookies without asking. Every other category requires your consent before it is set.
When you first visit, you will be asked to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and nothing on the site is withheld from you for saying no.
You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link on the site, or by clearing cookies in your browser and choosing again on your next visit.
06
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies directly in your browser settings, where you can block cookies, delete existing ones, or ask to be warned before any are set. Look for cookie or privacy options in:
- Chrome — Settings, then Privacy and security.
- Safari — Settings or Preferences, then Privacy.
- Firefox — Settings, then Privacy & Security.
- Edge — Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode, which clears cookies when you close the window.
07
If you block all cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the site working. In particular, you will not be able to stay logged in, keep items in your basket, complete a purchase, or have your course progress saved.
If you are having trouble accessing a course you have paid for, blocked cookies are one of the first things worth checking.
08
Push notifications
This website may ask whether you want to receive browser notifications. These are not cookies, but they work in a similar way and are only ever enabled if you actively allow them.
You can turn them off at any time in your browser’s site settings for this website, or by choosing to block notifications when first asked.
09
Do Not Track
Some browsers can send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. There is no single agreed standard for how websites should respond to these.
Our cookie banner is the reliable way to control what is set on this site, and we will always honour the choice you make there.
10
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when we add or remove services that set cookies. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
Where a change means new non-essential cookies would be set, we will ask for your consent again rather than assume your previous answer still applies.
11
Questions about cookies
If you want to know more about the cookies we set, or you are having a problem with the site that you think is cookie-related, email [email protected]. Our Privacy Policy explains more about how we handle personal information generally.

Online continuing professional development for qualified aesthetic practitioners — led by Steven Cole, Level 7 Advanced Aesthetics Practitioner and Business Development Coach.
Our courses are theory-based online learning intended to extend existing knowledge. They are not a substitute for hands-on, supervised clinical training, and completion does not confer any licence or authority to perform treatments. Practitioners remain responsible for working within their own scope of practice, insurance and regulatory requirements.
