Understand how our website uses cookies, what types are active, and how you can manage your preferences.
This Cookies Policy explains how GUIDED SEMINARS LTD ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This policy applies to all visitors of our website for the Language Learning and AI Skills 2026 educational webinar series.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions, which improves your browsing experience.
We encourage you to read this policy in full so you understand what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. For broader data handling practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, including remembering your settings, understanding how you navigate the site, and providing usage statistics that help us improve the experience for all visitors.
Cookies can be "session cookies" that are erased when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies" that remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them.
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically for analytics purposes. On this website, we use both first-party and third-party cookies as described below.
We categorize the cookies used on our website into two main types. Our website does not use advertising cookies, profiling cookies, or retargeting cookies of any kind.
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic site security. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent_status | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
| session_id | Maintains your session while browsing | Session |
| csrf_token | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
Consent required: No. These cookies are activated automatically as they are essential for website operation.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to measure site performance, identify popular content, and improve the overall user experience. These cookies are only activated after you provide your consent through our cookie consent banner.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXX | Maintains session state | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes unique visitors | Google Analytics 4 | 24 hours |
| _gat | Throttles request rate | Google Analytics 4 | 1 minute |
Consent required: Yes. Analytics cookies are activated only after you click "Accept All" or enable analytics in cookie preferences. Data retention is set to 14 months within Google Analytics.
Our website is strictly educational and does not engage in advertising, profiling, or retargeting activities. The following types of cookies are explicitly not used on this website:
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. This banner provides you with three clear options:
Accept All
Enables essential and analytics cookies.
Reject Non-Essential
Only essential cookies remain active.
Manage Preferences
Choose which cookie categories to enable.
By clicking "Accept All Cookies", you consent to the storing of analytics cookies on your device for measuring traffic and site performance. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
If you dismiss the banner without making a choice or click "Reject Non-Essential", only essential cookies required for core website functionality will be active. Analytics cookies will not be loaded until explicit consent is given.
Your cookie preference choice is stored in your browser's local storage for 12 months. After this period, the consent banner will appear again for you to reconfirm your preferences.
Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive the cookie consent notice in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a).
Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request. We maintain records of when consent was given or withdrawn to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.
You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred while consent was valid.
In addition to using our cookie consent banner and preferences panel, you can manage cookies directly through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from websites. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of certain website features.
Here are instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
If you use a different browser, please consult its documentation or help resources for instructions on managing cookies. Deleting cookies from your browser will also remove your stored consent preferences, which means the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, to collect anonymized usage data about how visitors interact with our website. This service helps us understand which pages are most visited, how long users spend on the site, and where users encounter difficulties.
IP anonymization is enabled, meaning your full IP address is never stored by Google Analytics. Data retention within Google Analytics is set to 14 months. After this period, user-level and event-level data associated with cookies is automatically deleted.
Google Analytics cookies are classified as third-party cookies. They are set by Google's analytics servers and are only loaded on our website after you have explicitly consented through our cookie consent banner.
You may opt out of Google Analytics entirely by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Google Analytics is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We do not use Google Analytics data for advertising, remarketing, or any purpose other than understanding aggregate website usage patterns.
Cookies on our website may collect the following types of information:
This data is collected in aggregate and anonymized form. It is not linked to identifiable individuals and is used solely to improve website performance and user experience. We do not sell, rent, or share cookie data with any third parties beyond the analytics service provider described above.
The only third-party cookies present on this website are those placed by Google Analytics 4 for the purpose of anonymous traffic measurement, as described in Section 7 above. No other third-party services place cookies on your device through our website.
We do not use third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or any remarketing services. Our website is designed to minimize third-party data collection while still allowing us to understand basic site usage patterns to improve the educational experience we provide.
For information about how Google processes data through its analytics service, you can review Google's privacy practices at their published privacy documentation.
