This Cookie Policy explains how construction-skills.com ("we", "us", "our"), operated by Construction Skills Professionals Ltd, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and (where you consent) help us understand how visitors use the site.
2. The Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can be disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site to work — e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice, enabling the funding eligibility quiz to function within a session | No — these are necessary for the site to operate |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g. which pages are viewed, how people navigate the course pathway) so we can improve it | Yes — via "Manage Preferences" in the cookie banner |
| Marketing | Used for advertising purposes, such as measuring the effectiveness of campaigns, where applicable | Yes — via "Manage Preferences" in the cookie banner |
We do not currently use marketing cookies as standard — this category exists in our cookie banner so you have control over it if and when we do.
3. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Manage Preferences" in the cookie banner shown on the site, or by clearing your browser's stored data for construction-skills.com, which will show the banner again on your next visit.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings directly — most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site function, such as the funding eligibility quiz or your cookie preference being remembered.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We plan to use the following third-party tools, which may set their own cookies subject to your consent choices above:
- Zoho CRM — for managing enquiries and leads (planned; not yet in use)
- Mailchimp — for newsletter/email communications (planned; not yet in use)
- An analytics provider (to be confirmed)
We will update this table with the specific cookies each sets once these integrations are live.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies or third-party tools changes. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
