What Cookies We Use

Our website and parent portal use a small number of cookies that are essential for the site to work properly - for example, keeping you securely signed in. We do not use any advertising, marketing, or tracking cookies, and we do not use Google Analytics.

Cookie Category Purpose
.AspNetCore.Identity.Application Strictly necessary Keeps you securely signed in to the parent/staff portal. Expires automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity for your security.
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* Strictly necessary Protects forms on the site against cross-site request forgery attacks.
.AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider Strictly necessary Carries one-time confirmation or error messages between pages after an action (e.g. "Saved successfully").
Stripe (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid, etc.) Strictly necessary Set only on the online payment page, to help Stripe detect and prevent fraudulent card payments.

Because every cookie we use is strictly necessary for the site to function, none of them require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). The site also loads Bootstrap and Font Awesome from their standard content delivery networks to style pages - these are static style files, not tracking cookies.

Managing Cookies

You can use your browser's settings to view, delete, or block cookies at any time. Please note that blocking the cookies above will mean you're unable to log in to the parent portal or complete an online payment.
