When you first visit getcourse.co, a banner lets you accept or reject analytics and advertising cookies with a single click, or choose by category under Manage by category (Analytics and Advertising are separate, and both are off until you tick them). Nothing in those categories is set until you accept. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer or the Cookies button shown at the bottom of every page; a change takes effect from your next page load. Your choice is stored in a necessary cookie (gc_consent) for 180 days, after which we ask again.
If you do not accept, our Google tag runs in consent mode: it stores no cookies and sends only cookieless signals that Google uses for aggregate modelling. The Meta and OpenAI (ChatGPT) tags do not load at all, and no details from an enquiry you submit are shared with any advertising platform.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the platform. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others help us improve your experience or measure the effectiveness of our advertising.
These cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include session cookies that help the site operate correctly as you browse, the cookie that records your consent choice, and first-party browser storage that lets us attribute an enquiry you submit to the campaign that brought you to the site. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are set when you visit the site and expire when your session ends or after a period of inactivity.
Only with your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. GA4 sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track page views, session duration, and navigation patterns. These cookies are first-party cookies set under the getcourse.co domain. They typically persist for up to 2 years. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to improve our website, understand which pages and courses are most useful, and identify technical issues. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Only with your consent, we use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel sets cookies to identify your browser and record interactions such as page views, enquiry form submissions, and course page visits. These cookies help us understand which advertisements led to visits or enquiries so we can improve our advertising and reduce wasted spend. Meta Pixel cookies are first-party cookies set under the getcourse.co domain and typically persist for up to 90 days. We also use the Meta Conversions API (server-side) to send event data directly to Meta. You can manage your advertising preferences through your Facebook Ad Settings at www.facebook.com/adpreferences.
We also use the Google Ads tag to measure enquiries that follow a Google ad, and the OpenAI (ChatGPT Ads) measurement tag to measure enquiries that follow an ad shown in ChatGPT. Both load only with your consent. Each records that an enquiry followed one of our ads so we can measure and improve our advertising.
Some cookies may be set by third-party services embedded in our platform, such as video players or embedded content. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant provider's policies for details.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect core functionality of the platform. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers can be found on the browser's support pages. If you disable cookies, you can still browse our course listings and public pages, but some features such as enquiry forms may not work correctly.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is no universal standard for how websites should respond to this signal, and our platform does not currently alter its behaviour in response to Do Not Track requests. You can manage tracking through the cookie controls described above.
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or our practices. The latest version will always be available on this page.
