  • Cookieless analytics (Ahrefs Web Analytics and Umami): count visits and page views without setting cookies.

12. Third-Party Services

We use trusted services like Microsoft Teams (for live classes) and Microsoft 365 (for document and email management). These platforms are GDPR-compliant and maintain their own privacy and security policies.

Our website also uses the following services. Each provider has its own privacy policy:

  • Google Analytics (Google): website analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies

All staff and tutors undergo vetting procedures and are trained to handle student data appropriately. Any concerns are escalated through designated safeguarding channels.
