1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2. How do we use cookies?
Square Club Maths Ltd uses cookies to ensure our online assessment platform functions correctly, to keep you logged in securely, and to understand how our website is being used so we can improve it.
We classify the cookies we use into the following categories:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are required for the operation of our website and platform. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website or process payments. Under UK law, we do not need your consent to use these cookies because the platform cannot function without them.
B. Analytical or Performance Cookies (Optional)
These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
C. Functionality Cookies (Optional)
These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences.
D. Targeting or Marketing Cookies (Optional)
These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and any advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
Note: We NEVER use targeting or marketing cookies on the pupil assessment side of the platform. These are only used on our public marketing pages aimed at teachers and schools.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Please note that some of our third-party service providers may also use cookies, over which we have no control. For example, we use Stripe to process payments securely. Stripe uses strictly necessary cookies to ensure the payment gateway functions correctly and to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.
4. How to manage your cookies
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
You can also manage or block cookies at any time by modifying your browser settings. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our website, and the assessment platform may not function correctly.
