Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Life in the UK Prep uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in during a session, and measure performance so we can improve our service.

How we use cookies

We categorise cookies into the following groups:

  • Essential – required for the site to function, such as remembering quiz answers during a session.
  • Preference – save your settings (for example, whether you have dismissed a notice) to give a smoother experience.
  • Analytics – help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content and fix issues quickly.
  • Advertising and affiliate – support our free resources by delivering relevant adverts and measuring their effectiveness.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies keep the site running. For example, a session cookie keeps your quiz progress or flashcard selections available as you move between pages. These cookies do not store personal identifiers and typically expire when you close your browser.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as hiding a banner or keeping accessibility settings. These cookies are optional and exist only to enhance your experience.

Analytics cookies

We may use privacy-focused analytics to understand which resources are most helpful. Analytics reports rely on aggregated data (for example, page views, device type, or general location) and are not designed to identify you. Data is retained only as long as necessary to monitor performance trends.

Advertising and affiliate cookies

Advertising partners such as Google AdSense can place cookies or use similar technologies to show relevant adverts, limit the number of times you see the same ad, and measure campaign effectiveness. These partners may learn about your activity on this site and others that use their services.

We do not sell personal information. You can find more detail in Google’s Ads policy centre and adjust personalised ad settings via Google Ad Settings. Other providers operate under their own privacy notices.

Third-party technologies

Some pages embed content from external services (for example, maps or video players). These services may set their own cookies when the content loads. We recommend reviewing each provider’s privacy information if you interact with embedded content.

Managing cookies

  • Adjust your browser settings to delete existing cookies or block new ones. Most browsers include step-by-step guidance in their help centre.
  • Use in-browser privacy controls, extensions, or device settings to manage consent for advertising cookies.
  • Visit industry opt-out programmes such as Your Online Choices and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
  • If you disable certain cookies, some interactive features (like quiz progress) may not work as intended, but most study content will remain accessible.
