This Cookie Policy explains how EMPOWERING EDUCATION C.I.C. uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://empoweringeducation.co.uk.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the website and improve the services provided.
Some cookies remain on your device only while you are browsing, while others may remain for a longer period.
How we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Enable essential website functions
- Maintain the security and performance of the website
- Remember visitor preferences
- Understand how visitors use our website
- Improve website functionality and content
- Support forms and other interactive website features
- Measure website traffic and performance

Strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly.
These may be used for purposes such as:
- Website security
- Maintaining website functionality
- Remembering privacy or cookie choices
- Supporting forms or other essential website features
- Maintaining a user session where required
These cookies may be used without consent where the law permits because they are necessary to provide the website or service requested.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features.
For example, these may be used to remember preferences such as language or other website settings.
Where consent is required for these cookies, they will only be used after you have provided the appropriate permission.
Analytics and performance cookies
We may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.
These technologies may collect information such as:
- Which pages are visited
- How visitors reached our website
- How long visitors spend on particular pages
- General website usage and performance information
- Device and browser information
This information can help us understand how the website is being used and identify ways to improve it.
Where these technologies require consent, they will not be activated until appropriate consent has been obtained.
Third-party cookies
Some website features may be provided by third parties.
For example, our website may contain embedded videos, social-media features, maps, external forms or other third-party content.
These third parties may place their own cookies or use similar technologies when you interact with their services.
Where required, non-essential third-party cookies should only be activated after you have provided consent.
Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices, and we recommend reviewing their privacy information where applicable.
Managing your cookie preferences
Where our website uses non-essential cookies that require consent, you should be given a choice about whether to allow them.
You may be able to:
- Accept non-essential cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Change your cookie preferences
- Withdraw consent previously given
The ICO states that non-essential cookies should not simply be set before the appropriate consent has been obtained, and users should have a meaningful way to accept or refuse them.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- View cookies stored on your device

Please be aware that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of some parts of the website.
How long cookies are stored
Different cookies may remain on your device for different lengths of time.
Some are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser.
Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
We aim to ensure that cookies are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.
The ICO recommends that organisations identify whether cookies are session or persistent, establish how long they last, and ensure that their duration is appropriate.
Personal information and cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information.
Where this occurs, personal information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection law.
