Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 June 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They serve a variety of purposes — from keeping you logged in between pages to helping us understand how learners use the platform so we can improve it.
Cookies don't store personal files or run programmes on your device. They contain a small amount of text that your browser can read and send back to the website that placed them.
Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies on the Modelyn platform:
Essential Cookies
Always active — required for the site to work
These cookies are required for the platform to function. They manage your login session, keep form data secure, and ensure you can move between pages without losing your place. They cannot be disabled.
Duration: Session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or up to 30 days for login persistence.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how people use the site
We use analytics cookies to see which pages learners visit most, how long they spend on course content, and where they tend to get stuck. This helps us improve the platform over time. Data is aggregated and not tied to individual identities.
Duration: Up to 14 months, after which data is anonymised.
Marketing Cookies
Used if you've come to us through an ad
These cookies are placed when you arrive via a paid advertising channel. They allow us to understand which campaigns bring learners to the site and help us avoid showing ads to people who have already enrolled. We do not use marketing cookies to build profiles for sale to third parties.
Duration: Up to 90 days.
Preference Cookies
Remember settings you've chosen
Preference cookies remember choices you make on the site — such as language or display preferences — so you don't have to re-enter them on each visit. Disabling these cookies means the platform may reset some settings each time you return.
Duration: Up to 12 months.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics — website usage data (analytics cookies)
- Payment processor — secure transaction handling (essential)
- Advertising platforms — campaign measurement (marketing cookies, only if you arrived via an ad)
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy and cookie policy. We recommend reviewing those policies if you want full details on how they handle data.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the controls above, you can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Here are instructions for the most common browsers:
Google Chrome
Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From there you can block all cookies, allow cookies only from the sites you visit, or clear existing cookies.
Mozilla Firefox
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. You can choose standard, strict, or custom protection levels, and clear stored cookies from here.
Safari
Go to Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks cross-site tracking by default. To manage cookies for specific sites, go to Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
Microsoft Edge
Go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. You can choose to allow or block cookies, and manage exceptions for specific sites.
On mobile browsers, cookie settings are usually found under the browser's privacy or security section in the app settings. The exact path varies by browser and operating system version.
Your Rights
You have the right to withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time using the preference controls on this page. You also have the right to ask us what personal data we hold and to request its deletion — these are covered in our Privacy Policy.
Disabling optional cookies (analytics, marketing, preferences) will not prevent you from using the Modelyn platform. It may result in less personalised experiences and may mean some settings reset between visits.
