Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20th February 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, how peninsulalearn.com uses them, and how you can control your preferences.
We use CookieYes to manage cookie consent on our website. When you first visit, you’ll see a cookie banner that gives you the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your preferences are saved and respected on future visits.
In line with guidance from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), non-essential cookies are blocked until you actively give your consent. Scrolling or continuing to browse does not count as consent.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They help the website remember things about your visit, like your preferences or whether you’ve accepted the cookie banner.
Some cookies are essential for the website to work properly. Others help us understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve it.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- To make the website function properly (essential cookies)
- To remember your cookie consent preferences
- To understand how visitors use our site, so we can improve it (analytics)
We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across other websites.
3. Cookie Categories
Our cookies are grouped into the following categories. You can manage your preferences for each category through the cookie banner or by clicking the cookie settings button on our website.
Necessary (always active)
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot work properly without them. These cookies do not collect personal data and cannot be switched off.
Analytics (optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. Which pages are visited most, how long people spend on the site, and where visitors come from. This data is anonymous and helps us improve the site. These cookies are only activated if you give consent.
Functional (optional)
These cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation, such as remembering your language preference or region. They may be set by us or by third-party services we use. If you don’t allow these cookies, some features may not work as expected.
We don’t currently use functional cookies beyond the essential ones listed above, but this may change as we add new features to the site. We’ll update this policy if it does.
Marketing / Advertising (optional)
We do not currently use any marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes in the future, we’ll update this policy and ask for your consent before activating them.
4. Your Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner (powered by CookieYes) will ask for your consent. You can:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject all non-essential cookies
- Customise your preferences by category
Non-essential cookies are only activated after you actively click “Accept” or choose specific categories. Simply continuing to browse or scrolling does not count as consent.
Your preferences are saved by CookieYes and remembered on future visits (for up to 1 year).
5. Changing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings button on our website. This is usually a small icon in the bottom corner of the page (added by CookieYes).
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- See what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all cookies (though this may affect how websites work)
For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit your browser’s help pages or allaboutcookies.org.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site may be set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to read:
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privac
- CookieYes: cookieyes.com/privacy-policy
We do not control the cookies set by these third parties, but we ensure that non-essential third-party cookies are blocked until you give consent through our cookie banner.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time, for example, when we add new features to the website or start using new third-party services. When we do, we’ll update the date at the top of this page.
