Cookies Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how MALVERN BALLET SEMINARS LTD ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on alerianacademy.info. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of how we handle your data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve efficiency, and provide reporting information to site owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and browsing history.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" based. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until they reach their expiration date or you delete them manually. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. Cookies can also be categorized as "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).

This website uses a limited number of cookies, and we do not use advertising or retargeting cookies of any kind. Our cookie usage is restricted to what is necessary for the website to function correctly and to help us understand how visitors interact with our educational content.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use two categories of cookies on this website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type, including the purpose and duration of each cookie.

Technical (Essential) Cookies

Always Active

Technical cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. They enable basic features such as page navigation, remembering your cookie consent preference, and ensuring that forms work correctly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are strictly necessary for the delivery of services you have requested.

Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not function as intended. Because they are essential, these cookies cannot be disabled.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
cookie-consent Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner is not shown repeatedly 12 months First-party, Persistent
session_id Maintains your browsing session while you navigate between pages Session First-party, Session

Analytics Cookies

Optional

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and user experience of our educational platform. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally; they aggregate data across all visitors to show trends and patterns.

We use these cookies to learn which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on different sections, and where visitors navigate after landing on the site. This information is used exclusively to improve our webinar registration process and educational content delivery.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
_ga Used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated number 13 months Third-party, Persistent
_ga_* Used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain session state and track page views across your visit 13 months Third-party, Persistent
_gid Used by Google Analytics to distinguish users and throttle request rates 24 hours Third-party, Persistent

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

We want to be transparent about what this website does not do with cookies. We believe this clarity is just as important as explaining what we do use. The following types of cookies are never placed on your device by our website:

Advertising Cookies

We do not use any advertising cookies. No cookies are placed on your device for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements or tracking your activity for marketing purposes across other websites.

Retargeting Cookies

We do not employ retargeting or remarketing cookies. Your visit to our website will not result in you seeing advertisements for our webinars on social media platforms or other websites you visit subsequently.

Social Media Tracking

We do not embed social media tracking pixels or cookies from platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. No social media platform receives data about your visit to our website through cookies or similar technologies.

4. Your Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom-right corner of your screen. This banner gives you three choices regarding how cookies are used during your visit:

1

Accept

By clicking "Accept," you consent to the use of both essential and analytics cookies. This allows us to collect anonymized usage data that helps us improve the website experience for all visitors.

2

Settings

Clicking "Settings" (where available) allows you to choose which optional cookie categories you wish to enable or disable. Essential cookies cannot be turned off as they are required for the website to function.

3

Decline

By clicking "Decline," you reject all optional cookies. Only essential cookies required for the website to function will be used. Analytics data will not be collected from your visit.

Your cookie preference is stored locally on your device using localStorage. This means we remember your choice so that the consent banner does not reappear each time you visit. If you wish to change your preference, you can clear your browser's local storage or site data for alerianacademy.info, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.

5. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to the choices provided by our cookie consent banner, you can manage cookies directly through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites or from all websites. Below are instructions for the most commonly used browsers:

Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Other Site Data. From here you can block third-party cookies, clear all cookies, or manage exceptions for specific websites.
Mozilla Firefox: Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, you can choose between Standard, Strict, or Custom settings to control cookie behavior.
Safari: Open Preferences, then select the Privacy tab. You can block all cookies, prevent cross-site tracking, or manage website data to remove cookies from specific sites.
Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings, then Cookies and Site Permissions, then Manage and Delete Cookies and Site Data. You can block or allow cookies and manage exceptions for individual sites.

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other websites you visit. Essential cookies are required for the registration form and basic navigation to work properly. If you block these cookies, certain features may not be available.

6. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, our website uses localStorage, which is a web storage technology built into modern browsers. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with each request; it remains on your device and is accessed only by scripts running on our website.

We use localStorage for a single purpose: storing your cookie consent preference. This ensures that the cookie consent banner respects your choice and does not reappear unnecessarily. The data stored in localStorage does not contain any personally identifiable information and consists solely of a key-value pair indicating whether you accepted or declined optional cookies.

You can view and clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools. In most browsers, you can access this by pressing F12 or right-clicking on the page and selecting "Inspect," then navigating to the Application or Storage tab. There you will find localStorage entries for our domain, which you can delete individually or clear entirely.

7. Third-Party Cookies and Data Processing

The only third-party cookies used on this website are those placed by Google Analytics, and only when you have given your consent by clicking "Accept" on the cookie consent banner. Google Analytics processes data on servers operated by Google. Google may transfer data to servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), but appropriate safeguards are in place through Standard Contractual Clauses as required under GDPR.

We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses, which means your full IP address is never stored. The data collected is used solely for aggregated statistical analysis and is not combined with data from other Google services. We do not enable advertising features, remarketing, or demographic reporting within Google Analytics.

For more information about how Google processes data collected through Analytics, you can review Google's Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics Terms of Service. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available for most major browsers.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, you have rights regarding how your personal data is collected and processed, including through cookies. These rights include:

  • The right to be informed about what cookies are used and why (fulfilled by this Cookies Policy)
  • The right to give or withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time
  • The right to access any personal data collected through cookies
  • The right to request erasure of data collected via cookies
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact section below. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website and webinar series are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly set cookies or collect data from children. If you believe that a child under 16 has provided personal information through our website, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly take steps to delete any such data from our systems.

10. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or improvements in our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
