Carers Link Academy Cookie Notice
1. About cookies
Carers Link Academy uses cookies and similar technologies to help the website function correctly, maintain secure user sessions, remember certain settings and support the delivery of online learning.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for Carers Link Academy to operate. Other cookies or similar technologies may be used by third-party services embedded within the Academy.
Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, we will provide appropriate information and, where required, obtain your consent before they are used.
2. Cookies used by Carers Link Academy
Carers Link Academy is built using Moodle. Moodle uses cookies to support login, security and normal operation of the learning platform.
The main Moodle cookies are:
• MoodleSession – this is an essential session cookie. It allows the Academy to recognise you as you move between pages and keeps you logged in during your visit. It is normally removed when you log out or close your browser.
• MOODLEID (or a similarly named cookie) – this may be used to remember your username on the login page. It is not required for the Academy to function, and you can refuse it without losing access to the service. If it is refused, you may simply need to enter your username again when you return.
The exact name of these cookies may vary depending on the Academy’s technical configuration.
3. Third-party services and embedded content
Carers Link Academy may include content or services provided by third parties, such as embedded video.
For example, some course content is delivered using Vimeo. When you view or interact with embedded third-party content, the third-party provider may use cookies or similar technologies on your device.
These technologies may be used to provide the content, remember settings, measure use of the service, maintain security or support other functions provided by the third party.
Where a third-party cookie or similar technology is not strictly necessary, Carers Link will take appropriate steps to ensure that it is not used unless the required consent has been obtained.
Third-party providers may also process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Managing cookies and your choices
You can control or delete cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them, block particular cookies, or block cookies from particular websites.
Please be aware that blocking cookies that are strictly necessary for Carers Link Academy may prevent parts of the site from working correctly, including logging in and maintaining your learning session.
Where Carers Link Academy uses cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary, we will provide an appropriate way for you to make or change your choice.
You can change your browser settings at any time, although browser controls are separate from any consent controls provided directly by Carers Link Academy.
