How Dominis Uses Cookies & Similar Technologies

This Cookie Policy explains how Dominis Learning uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website. They help us operate the site securely, remember preferences, understand how it is used and, where you have permitted it, measure or improve our marketing.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

The cookies we may use

  • Strictly necessaryNeeded for the website to work
  • Functional & preferenceRemember the choices you make
  • Analytics & performanceShow how the website is used
  • Advertising & marketingOnly where you have permitted it

01What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites place or access on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device.

They can help a website

  • Work correctly.
  • Remember your preferences.
  • Keep sessions secure.
  • Understand how visitors use different pages.
  • Measure website performance.
  • Support relevant advertising where permitted.

Cookies do not all perform the same function, and some require user choice before they can be used.

UK rules on cookies also apply to certain similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user’s device.

02Similar Technologies

Although this page uses the term “cookies”, our website may also use similar storage and access technologies such as:

  • Tracking Pixels
  • Tags
  • Scripts
  • Local Storage
  • Web Storage
  • Similar Browser Technologies

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) can apply beyond traditional cookies, including technologies such as tracking pixels, device fingerprinting, web storage, scripts and tags.

03Why Does Dominis Use Cookies?

We may use cookies to:

Operate the Website
To make important website functions work correctly.
Maintain Security
To help protect accounts, forms and website services.
Remember Preferences
For example, remembering cookie choices or certain website settings.
Understand Website Usage
To understand which pages are useful, how visitors navigate the website and where improvements may be needed.
Improve User Experience
To make our website easier for parents, students and other visitors to use.
Measure Marketing
Where appropriate consent has been obtained, cookies may help us understand whether advertising or campaigns are effective.

04Types of Cookies We May Use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for core website functionality.

They may be used for

  • Website Security
  • Session Management
  • Login Functions
  • Forms
  • Cookie Preference Management
  • Load Balancing

Because these technologies are necessary for the service requested by the user, consent may not be required where the applicable PECR exemption applies.

These cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference centre where doing so would prevent an essential service from functioning.

B. Functional or Preference Cookies

These technologies can help the website remember choices such as

  • Language
  • Display Preferences
  • Previously Selected Options
  • Certain User Preferences

Some uses may fall within an applicable legal exception, while others may require a choice or consent depending on how the technology is used.

C. Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.

They may collect information such as

  • Pages Visited
  • Time Spent on Pages
  • Navigation Paths
  • Device or Browser Information
  • General Website Performance

This information helps us identify

  • Popular Pages
  • Technical Problems
  • User Journeys
  • Areas for Improvement

Following changes to PECR, certain limited technologies used solely for statistical purposes may fall within a specific exception where the legal requirements are satisfied, including providing users with a simple means of objecting.

Where an exemption does not apply, we will seek the required consent before using optional analytics technologies.

D. Advertising & Marketing Cookies

Where Dominis uses online advertising, marketing cookies may help us

  • Measure Campaign Performance
  • Understand Whether an Advert Led to a Website Visit
  • Limit Repeated Advertising
  • Provide More Relevant Advertising

Advertising technologies that track or profile users generally require appropriate consent before being activated.

These cookies remain disabled unless the appropriate permission has been provided.

05First-Party & Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies
Set directly by the Dominis website.
Third-Party Cookies
Set through services provided by another organisation that is integrated with our website.

Depending on our website configuration, third-party services could include providers used for

  • Website Analytics
  • Video Content
  • Advertising
  • Forms
  • Payment Services
  • Website Security
  • Customer Support

We only list third parties in this policy that are genuinely used on the live website.

07Withdrawing or Changing Your Choice

You can change your cookie choices after your initial visit. Where a cookie settings link is provided in the website footer, you can use it to:

  • Review preferences
  • Enable or disable optional categories
  • Withdraw previously given consent

Where consent is withdrawn, we will stop using the relevant technologies for future activity where technically applicable.

09Children’s Privacy & Cookies

Because Dominis provides educational services to children and young people, we take particular care with technologies used on parts of our website likely to be accessed by children.

We aim to

  • Avoid unnecessary tracking.
  • Use privacy-conscious website settings.
  • Explain choices clearly.
  • Avoid activating advertising or profiling technologies without the appropriate legal basis and permissions.
  • Consider children’s privacy when introducing new tracking technologies.

Our wider handling of children’s personal information is explained in the Dominis Privacy Policy.

Read our Privacy Policy

10How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies may be:

Session Cookies
These generally expire when the browser session ends.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on the device for a specified period unless they are deleted earlier.

There is no single legal duration that applies to every cookie. The lifespan should be appropriate for the purpose for which the technology is being used.

We periodically review whether cookies remain necessary and whether their duration is proportionate.

11Analytics Services

Dominis may use analytics services to understand website performance.

If services such as Google Analytics or another analytics platform are used, this policy and the cookie preference system explain

  • Which provider is used
  • What information is collected
  • Why it is used
  • How long relevant cookies last
  • Whether consent or a specific legal exception is relied upon

The legal treatment of analytics data depends on the exact technical configuration and the information processed.

12Advertising & Social Media Technologies

If Dominis uses services such as advertising pixels, conversion tracking or social-media integrations, these are specifically identified in the cookie-management system.

Where such technologies are used for

  • Advertising Profiling
  • Cross-Site Tracking
  • Retargeting
  • Behavioural Advertising

they are not activated before the required permission has been obtained.

13Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow users to

  • View stored cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block some or all cookies
  • Restrict third-party cookies

These controls can normally be found within a browser’s privacy or security settings.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary technologies may cause parts of the website or account functionality to stop working correctly.

Browser settings are a useful additional control but do not replace an on-site consent mechanism where such consent is legally required.

14Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites or services.

Once you leave the Dominis website, another organisation may use its own cookies and tracking technologies. Dominis does not control cookies placed directly by independent external websites.

You should review the relevant organisation’s cookie and privacy information when visiting those services.

15Cookies & Personal Information

Some cookies or related technologies may involve the processing of information that constitutes personal data. Where this occurs, our processing is also subject to applicable UK data-protection law.

Further information about the following is available in our Privacy Policy

  • What Personal Data We Collect
  • Why We Process It
  • Who We Share It With
  • International Transfers
  • Retention
  • Your Rights

PECR and UK GDPR can apply together where storage and access technologies involve personal information.

Read our Privacy Policy

16Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy when

  • Our Website Changes
  • We Introduce or Remove Technologies
  • Our Service Providers Change
  • UK Law or Regulatory Guidance Changes

The latest version will always show the date of the most recent update.

Where a change affects the permissions required for optional technologies, we may ask visitors to review their cookie preferences again.
