Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage, which stores data directly in your browser.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and local storage technologies are used on the Latitude Film School website (latitudefilmschool.com) and how you can manage them.

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or filling in forms.

Preference storage (localStorage)

We use your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

Analytics cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our content and user experience. If enabled, we use Google Analytics, which collects anonymised data about page views, session duration, and traffic sources.

Analytics cookies are only set with your consent. You can opt out at any time (see "How to manage cookies" below).

Third-party cookies

Some pages on our site include embedded content from third-party services. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with the embedded content.

• YouTube embeds: When you play an embedded YouTube video, YouTube (Google) may set cookies to track playback preferences and usage. We use privacy-enhanced mode where possible to minimise tracking. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Vimeo embeds: Course videos hosted on Vimeo may set cookies for video playback and analytics. See Vimeo's Privacy Policy.
• Ghost: Our blog and newsletter platform may set cookies for functionality and subscriber identification. See Ghost's Privacy Policy.
• Paddle: Our payment processor may set cookies during the checkout process. See Paddle's Privacy Policy.

We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies for more information.

How to manage cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.
• Google Analytics opt-out: You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data being collected by Google Analytics.
• localStorage: You can clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools (usually found under Application or Storage). Clearing localStorage will reset your theme preference and reading progress.

Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

GDPR and consent

Under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we are required to obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies on your device.

• Essential cookies do not require consent as they are strictly necessary for the website to function.
• Analytics and third-party cookies are only set after you have given your consent.
• You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us.

For more information about how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
