Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function properly, to enhance your browsing experience, and to provide website operators with certain information about how visitors interact with their sites. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
When you visit our website at assumableacademy.info, cookies may be placed on your device by our website (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that we use to improve website functionality and understand how visitors use our pages (third-party cookies). Each cookie has a defined lifespan, after which it expires and is automatically deleted from your device. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies).
This Cookies Policy applies to the website operated by INTERNATIONAL WORK AT HEIGHT SEMINAR LTD, registered at Unit 3 Eurogate Business Park, KENT, TN24 8XW, United Kingdom. We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use and the data we collect through those technologies. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail on how we handle personal data.
Our website uses cookies for a limited number of specific purposes. We believe in a minimal and respectful approach to cookie usage. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or building marketing profiles of our visitors. The cookies deployed on our site fall into two categories: technical cookies that are necessary for the website to function, and analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with our content. Both categories are described in detail below.
We do not use any advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or tracking technologies designed to follow you across other websites. Our goal is to provide an educational resource about the role of pets in supporting the emotional health of Canadian families, and our cookie practices reflect this straightforward purpose.
Technical cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the website would not work correctly, and your browsing experience could be significantly impaired. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting the usability of the site.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner does not reappear on every visit | 12 months | First-party, Persistent |
| session_id | Maintains your browsing session while navigating between pages on our website | Session (deleted when browser closes) | First-party, Session |
| csrf_token | Provides security protection for form submissions, preventing cross-site request forgery attacks | Session | First-party, Session |
Technical cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to function. No consent is needed under applicable data protection laws for strictly necessary cookies.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting information about the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and how you arrived at our site. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning we cannot identify you personally through analytics data. We use this information solely to improve the content and structure of our website so it better serves visitors interested in learning about the emotional health benefits of pets for families.
We may use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather standard internet log information and visitor behavior data in an anonymized form. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside of the European Economic Area. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, which means your full IP address is never stored.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 13 months | Third-party (Google), Persistent |
| _ga_[ID] | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state and track visitor interactions | 13 months | Third-party (Google), Persistent |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for analytics reporting within a 24-hour period | 24 hours | Third-party (Google), Persistent |
Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent through our cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies will be placed on your device.
We want to be transparent about the types of cookies that are absent from our website. We have made a deliberate decision not to employ any advertising, marketing, or retargeting cookies. This means:
Advertising cookies: We do not serve advertisements on our website and do not use cookies to display targeted ads to you on other websites.
Retargeting cookies: We do not use pixels, tags, or cookies designed to follow you across the internet and show you ads based on your visit to our website.
Social media tracking cookies: We do not embed social media tracking widgets or share buttons that place cookies on your device for social platform profiling purposes.
Cross-site tracking cookies: We do not participate in cross-site tracking networks or data exchanges that build behavioral profiles across multiple websites.
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom-right corner of your screen. This banner provides you with three options:
Enables both technical and analytics cookies on your device.
Lets you choose which optional cookies to allow or block.
Blocks all optional cookies. Only essential cookies remain active.
Your preference is stored locally on your device using the "cookie-consent" cookie. This preference persists for 12 months, after which the banner will reappear to ask for your updated consent. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the website, which will trigger the consent banner again.
Strictly necessary cookies (technical cookies) do not require your consent under applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). These cookies are essential for the website to operate and are activated regardless of your consent choice.
In addition to using our cookie consent banner, you can manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Please note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other sites you visit.
Below are instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for the most current instructions, as menu options may change with browser updates:
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
Mozilla Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Apple Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge
Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Manage and Delete Cookies
You can also use your browser's private or incognito mode to browse our website without persistent cookies being stored on your device. In private mode, cookies are typically deleted automatically when you close the browser window.
The only third-party cookies that may be placed on your device through our website come from Google Analytics, as described in Section 3 above. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy, which you can review on Google's privacy and terms pages. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google that includes Standard Contractual Clauses for any international data transfers.
We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses before they are stored, which means your full IP address is never transmitted to or stored by Google in connection with our website. We do not enable Google Analytics features that would allow user demographics reporting, remarketing, or advertising-related data collection.
If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, which is available free of charge from Google.
Cookie data that can be linked to you as an individual is considered personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Where analytics cookies are used, the legal basis for processing this data is your consent, which you provide through our cookie consent banner. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and declining the banner when it reappears.
Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding data collected through cookies:
Right of access: You can request information about what cookie data we hold that relates to you.
Right to erasure: You can request that we delete cookie data associated with your device.
Right to withdraw consent: You can withdraw your consent for analytics cookies at any time.
Right to lodge a complaint: You can file a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom or another relevant supervisory authority.
For more details on your data protection rights, please consult our comprehensive Privacy Policy.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable laws, or improvements to our website. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, reset the cookie consent banner so that you can review and re-confirm your preferences.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. Any changes become effective immediately upon posting the updated policy on this page.
In addition to traditional cookies, our website uses your browser's localStorage feature to remember your cookie consent preference. localStorage is a web storage technology that allows websites to store data on your device in a persistent manner, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity and without the data being sent to the server with every request.
The only item we store in localStorage is your cookie consent choice (accepted, declined, or custom). This data remains on your device until you manually clear your browser data or until our consent renewal period of 12 months elapses. You can clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data in your browser settings.
