Browsing and hosting

Krystal hosts this website. Routine server records may include your IP address, the page requested, browser information, request time and technical errors. These records support security, troubleshooting and delivery of the site. Where personal information is involved, our basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure, reliable website.

Website statistics without an opening pop-up

We use anonymous daily usage totals solely to improve this website. Our own Krystal hosting adds together page views, broad referral categories (such as search, social or direct), pages visible for at least 30 or 60 seconds, reaching three quarters of a page, and selections of tool, printable or advice links. These are approximate activity counts, not counts of unique people or evidence of learning, bookings or completed app sessions.

The counting system immediately increments a daily total for a page and event category. It does not create visitor IDs, fingerprint devices, store IP addresses or full browser details, record full referrer addresses, retain query strings, join activity across pages or keep individual browsing histories. The totals stay on our hosting and are not sent to Google or advertising providers. We retain these aggregate files for up to one year. Routine hosting security records are separate, as described above.

We use these totals under the UK PECR statistical-purposes exception, with a simple, free means to object. Where transient processing involves personal data, our basis is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the resource while minimising information collected. You can turn off all website statistics immediately using Turn off statistics in any page footer. You can change your choice using Privacy and statistics there. We also respect browser Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals.

Cookies and your choices

This website does not use AdSense or advertising cookies. Anonymous counting uses no tracking cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. Google Analytics is a separate, optional service: it is enabled only after an explicit choice, including a still-valid previous acceptance. Continuing to browse is not treated as permission.

If you choose a preference, we use the first-party preference cookie epfs_statistics_choice and local browser storage epfs-statistics-choice-v2 solely to remember that choice and its date. These contain no visitor identifier. Turning statistics off or choosing anonymous totals can be remembered for up to one year; Google Analytics permission lasts up to 60 days. The cookie applies to both the www and non-www versions of this site. If storage is unavailable, your choice may apply only to the current page. Clearing browser data removes saved preferences. A valid earlier refusal in epfs-analytics-choice-v1 continues to turn off statistics; the old key is also maintained when choices change for compatibility.

Withdrawing permission disables future Google Analytics measurement and removes first-party Analytics cookies accessible to this site. Changes are applied to other tabs on the same origin; other open versions of the site recheck their choice when focused. No preference panel opens automatically.

Google Analytics

With analytics consent, Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-6V9N29ZL4Z) helps us understand which pages are used and improve the resource. It may receive page addresses, browser or device information and interaction information. We do not deliberately send names, email addresses or pupil information to Analytics. Analytics data may distinguish browsers or sessions using cookie identifiers, so it is not described here as entirely anonymous.

The site configures Analytics cookies to expire after up to 60 days from relevant use. These include _ga and a property-specific _ga_ cookie. Optional analytics cookies are only enabled with the required permission. Withdrawal disables Analytics measurement and attempts to remove first-party Analytics cookies accessible to this site. Data already collected is governed by the applicable retention settings; contact us with a data-rights request.

Read Google’s privacy policy. You can also use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Email updates

If you subscribe, we collect your email address and confirmation so we can send new articles and occasional resource updates. The mailing list runs through Mailman on our Krystal hosting account. You must confirm by email before joining. Our basis for sending these updates is your consent. We do not sell the list or publish your address in a member directory.

Unsubscribe using the instructions in an email or contact us. Your address is removed from the active list when you unsubscribe. Subscription or correspondence records may be retained where necessary to manage your request, comply with obligations or demonstrate that consent and withdrawal were handled appropriately.

Contacting us

When you contact us, we use the information you supply to respond and manage the enquiry. Our basis is our legitimate interest in responding to correspondence, or steps connected with a requested professional service where applicable. Please avoid sending identifying pupil information through general website enquiries. Information is kept only as long as needed for its purpose and any applicable obligations.

Recipients and international processing

Hosting and mailing-list services are provided through Krystal. The anonymous daily totals remain on our Krystal hosting. Google may process optional analytics information only when you have explicitly allowed Google Analytics. These providers may process information outside the UK. Their privacy information describes applicable safeguards and transfer arrangements. Links to other websites lead to services with their own privacy notices.

Your rights

You may ask for access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, and may have rights to restriction, objection or portability depending on the processing and legal basis. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier consent-based processing. Use the contact details above. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
