1. About this notice
This notice explains how EBA uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies on the marketing website and app. These technologies can store or read information on a browser or device.
The exact names, providers and expiry periods used in the current deployment are shown in the Cookie settings panel. That live list forms part of this notice and must be updated whenever the deployment changes.
2. Strictly necessary technologies
These are used where essential for a service the user requests or for security. They may include:
- authentication and session identifiers;
- security, fraud prevention and request-protection technologies;
- load balancing and service availability;
- the record of cookie choices;
- Stripe checkout, payment and fraud-prevention technologies; and
- essential account or accessibility preferences.
Consent is not normally required for a technology that is strictly necessary, but EBA still explains it in the settings panel.
3. Functional preferences
Functional technologies remember choices that are useful but may not be essential, such as interface preferences. Where consent is required, they remain off until the user chooses them.
4. Analytics and performance
Analytics or performance technologies may help EBA understand page use, detect errors and improve journeys. Non-essential analytics are used only after the required consent.
Declining analytics does not block core account, practice or billing functions.
5. Advertising and marketing technologies
EBA does not use a child’s answers, scores, practice history or inferred ability to target third-party advertising.
If EBA introduces non-essential marketing technologies for adult-facing pages, they will be listed in the settings panel and will not be activated before the required consent.
6. Stripe and external services
Stripe may use technologies needed to provide checkout, remember the payment session, prevent fraud and secure transactions. Stripe’s own notices apply to information it handles as an independent payment provider.
Following a link to another website may allow that website to use its own technologies. EBA does not control another website’s storage after the user leaves EBA.
7. Your choices
The cookie banner and Cookie settings control non-essential categories. A user can accept, decline or change choices later using the Cookie settings control on the website.
Withdrawing consent does not make earlier consent-based use unlawful. Browser settings can also block or delete technologies, but blocking necessary session or security technologies may stop login, checkout or account features from working.
8. Children
Child-facing areas use high-privacy defaults. Non-essential tracking must not be switched on merely because an adult accepted it on an unrelated public page. EBA does not use child learning activity for behavioural advertising.
9. Expiry and retention
Session technologies expire when the browser session ends or shortly afterwards. Persistent technologies expire after the period shown in Cookie settings. Consent choices should be refreshed when required by law or when the use changes materially.
10. Changes and contact
We update this notice and the live settings list when technologies or providers change. Questions can be sent to support@exam-bytes.co.uk.
