Cookie Policy

In plain English: We use cookies to make our website work, to understand how people use it, and to personalise your learning experience. Essential cookies are always on — everything else is off until you say yes.

1. About Cookies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with the site.

This policy explains which cookies we use on swiftlearn.co.uk and swift1.co.uk, why we use them, and how you can control them.

2. How We Get Your Consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner asking you to choose which categories of cookies you wish to allow.

• Essential cookies are always active — they are required for the site to function and do not require your consent under UK law
• Analytics cookies and personalisation cookies are not set until you give your consent by actively opting in through the banner or our cookie preference tool
• You can change your preferences at any time (see section 6)

This approach complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Lawful basis: These cookies are exempt from consent requirements under PECR Regulation 6(4) as they are strictly necessary for the provision of a service you have requested.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Requires Your Consent)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform so we can improve it.

What we collect: Pages and courses visited, time spent on activities, interaction patterns, device and browser type, approximate geographic location (country/city level from anonymised IP).
