Cookie Policy

Last Updated 23 June, 2021

Leiths Online Cookery School (“us”, “we”, or “our”) – a partnership between Workshop Tech Solutions Ltd. and Leiths School of Food and Wine Ltd. – uses cookies on leithsonline.com and affiliated websites (collectively the “Site”).

Our Cookies Policy describes what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third-parties we partner with may use cookies on the Site, and your choices regarding cookies.

‍

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Site or a third-party to recognise you and make your next visit easier and the Site more useful to you. Essentially, cookies are a user’s identification card for the Workshop servers. Web beacons are small graphic files linked to our servers that allow us to track your use of our Site and related functionalities. Cookies and web beacons allow Workshop to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalise your experience on our Site.

We use both session cookies, which expire after a short time or when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain stored in your browser for a set period of time. We use session cookies to identify you during a single browsing session, like when you log into Workshop. We use persistent cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period, like when you request that we keep you signed in.

‍

How we use cookies and similar technologies?

When you use and access the Site, we may place a number of cookies on your device.

Workshop uses or may use cookies and/or web beacons to help us determine and identify repeat visitors, the type of content and sites to which a user of our Site links, the length of time each user spends at any particular area of our Site, and the specific functionalities that users choose to use. To the extent that cookie data constitutes personally identifiable information, we process such data on the basis of your consent.

We use both session and persistent cookies on the Site and we use different types of cookies to run the Site:

• Essential cookies: necessary for the operation of the Site. We may use essential cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of user accounts, or offer Site features.
• Analytical/performance cookies: allow us to recognise you when you return to the Site. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
• Targeting cookies: record your visit to the Site, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make the Site more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

When using mobile applications you may also receive tailored in-app advertisements. Apple iOS, Android OS, and Microsoft Windows each provide its own instructions on how to control in-app tailored advertising. For other devices and operating systems, you should review your privacy settings or contact your platform operator.

Third-party cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Site and refine marketing efforts.

• Tracking cookies: follow on-site behaviour and tie it to other metrics allowing better understanding of usage habits.
• Optimisation cookies: allow real-time tracking of user conversion from different marketing channels to evaluate their effectiveness.
• Partner cookies: provide marketing conversion metrics to our partners so they can optimise their paid marketing efforts.

What are my privacy options?

You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

• Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to decline cookies by consulting your browser’s support articles. If you decide to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customise, or use some interactive features in the Services.
• Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, so your browser’s cookie-management tools may not remove them. To learn more about how to manage Flash cookies, see Adobe’s article on managing flash cookies and Website Storage Settings panel.
• To get information and control cookies used for tailored advertising from participating companies, see the consumer opt-out pages for the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance, or if you’re located in the European Union, visit the Your Online Choices site. To opt out of Google Analytics’ display advertising or customise Google Display Network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page.
