How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual.

When someone visits sixthform.london we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

We also employ the use of logging services from Facebook, Google and Twitter to monitor interaction with advertising we place throughout the year. At no point do we receive information that identifies anyone through these services.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

How we use the mailing list

As part of the registration process for our electronic newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about the things you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to contact students who’ve made applications with information of important events. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails. You can also update your preferences for contact across communication channels at any time via the link at the bottom of every email.

Information gathered from the mailing list may be used to send you personalised messaging on other platforms.
