This Cookies Policy explains how ADVERTISING SEMINARS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ("we," "us," or "our"), registered at 111 Whitchurch Road, Tavistock, PL19 9BQ, United Kingdom (Company Number: 02611535), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at futuretraining.info. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal data.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from enabling essential website functionality to helping us understand how visitors interact with our pages. Some cookies are set by us directly (first-party cookies), while others may be set by third-party services we use (third-party cookies).
We are committed to being transparent about how we use cookies and giving you meaningful control over your preferences. When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear, allowing you to accept, configure, or decline non-essential cookies. You can also manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.
Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit websites. They typically contain a website name, a unique identifier, and an expiration date. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and provide a smoother browsing experience.
There are several types of cookies classified by their lifespan and origin:
Session cookies are temporary files that are deleted from your device once you close your browser. They help maintain continuity during a single browsing session, such as remembering items in a form as you navigate between pages.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They enable the website to remember your settings and preferences across multiple visits.
First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting. They are generally used for essential functionality and remembering user preferences.
Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. They are commonly used for analytics and cross-site tracking purposes.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These technologies serve comparable functions and are covered by this policy.
Our website uses a limited number of cookies, categorized as follows. We have designed our approach to minimize data collection while maintaining a functional and user-friendly experience.
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, core features like page navigation, form submissions, and security functions would not work. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your experience on the site.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted, rejected, or settings configured) | 13 months | First-party, Persistent |
| session_state | Maintains session integrity during form submissions and page navigation | Session | First-party, Session |
| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks on forms | Session | First-party, Session |
Legal basis: Legitimate interest. These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and where visitors navigate from. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify any individual visitor. We use these insights to improve website content, structure, and performance.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique visitors using a randomly generated number | 13 months | Third-party, Persistent |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4: maintains session state and collects aggregated usage data | 13 months | Third-party, Persistent |
| _gid | Google Analytics: identifies unique visitors for the current day session | 24 hours | Third-party, Persistent |
Legal basis: Consent. Analytics cookies are only placed after you accept cookies through our consent banner.
We want to be clear about the types of cookies that are not present on our website. We respect your privacy and have deliberately chosen not to implement tracking technologies that serve commercial advertising purposes.
Advertising Cookies
We do not display ads on our website and do not use cookies to serve or track advertising.
Retargeting Cookies
We do not use retargeting or remarketing cookies that follow you across other websites.
Social Media Tracking
We do not embed social media plugins or pixels that track your browsing behavior.
Profiling Cookies
We do not build user profiles based on browsing habits or use cookies for behavioral targeting.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This banner provides you with three clear options for managing your cookie preferences:
Enables all cookies, including analytics cookies that help us improve the website experience.
Lets you choose which categories of non-essential cookies you allow on your device.
Rejects all non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies will remain active.
Your choice is stored in a persistent cookie called "cookie-consent" on your device so that you are not asked again on subsequent visits. This preference cookie is retained for 13 months. If you wish to change your selection after making a choice, you can do so by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will cause the consent banner to appear again.
The consent banner does not block any content and appears as a non-intrusive overlay. Essential cookies are always active regardless of your consent choice, as they are required for the website to function correctly.
In addition to the cookie consent banner on our website, you can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Below are instructions for the most common browsers:
Open Settings, navigate to Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Other Site Data. From here you can block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, and manage site-specific permissions.
Open Settings, go to Privacy & Security, and look for the Cookies and Site Data section. Firefox also offers Enhanced Tracking Protection levels (Standard, Strict, Custom) for fine-grained control.
Open Preferences, click the Privacy tab, and manage cookie settings. Safari blocks cross-site tracking by default and offers options to block all cookies entirely.
Open Settings, go to Cookies and Site Permissions, then Manage and Delete Cookies and Site Data. You can choose to block third-party cookies or all cookies.
Please note: Disabling or blocking certain cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of our website. For example, if essential cookies are blocked, form submissions and basic navigation features may not work as expected. We recommend keeping essential cookies enabled for the best browsing experience.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your browsing behavior, including pages visited, time spent on each page, your approximate geographic location (city level), device type, and browser version. This data is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the European Economic Area.
We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy-enhancing measures:
IP anonymization: Your IP address is anonymized before it is stored, preventing identification of individual users based on their IP.
Data retention: Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted from Google's servers.
No data sharing: We have disabled data sharing with Google for advertising or benchmarking purposes.
No advertising features: Remarketing, demographics, and interest reporting features are all disabled in our configuration.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, which is available for all major browsers. When installed, this add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript from sending data to Google. Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent through our cookie banner.
In addition to cookies, our website uses the browser's localStorage feature to remember your cookie consent preference. Local storage works similarly to cookies but is stored directly in your browser and is not sent to our servers with each page request. The data stored locally includes only your consent choice (accepted or rejected) and does not contain any personally identifiable information.
You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data in your browser settings. Clearing local storage will reset your cookie consent preference, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
Where analytics cookies involve the transfer of data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such as to Google servers in the United States, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. Google participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to protect data during cross-border transfers.
For further information on how Google handles data from analytics cookies, you may review Google's privacy documentation at their official policies page.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, you have the right to:
Give or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time without detriment.
Request information about what data has been collected via cookies on our website.
Request deletion of any personal data that may have been collected through cookies.
Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data privacy rights have been violated.
To withdraw consent, simply clear the cookies stored by our website through your browser settings. Upon your next visit, the cookie consent banner will reappear, allowing you to make a fresh selection. You may also contact us directly to request information about or deletion of data collected through cookies.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through cookies or any other means. If we become aware that cookies have inadvertently collected data from a person under 16, we will take immediate steps to delete such data. Parents or guardians who believe their child's data may have been collected can contact us at the email address provided below.
We may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in legal requirements, or improvements in our privacy practices. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes that affect how we use cookies, we may also reset the cookie consent banner so that you can review and reconfirm your preferences.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
