Effective Date: June 2026  |  Last Updated: June 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy explains how Clear Course Coaching (‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.clearcoursecoaching.co.uk (the ‘Website’). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices available to you.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we use personal data.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to the website owner.

Cookies set by us are called ‘first-party cookies’. Cookies set by parties other than Clear Course Coaching are called ‘third-party cookies’. Third-party cookies enable third-party features to be provided through our Website — for example, analytics or embedded booking tools.

3. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

Our Website is built on Squarespace, which uses certain cookies automatically to allow the site to function correctly and to provide us with anonymised analytics about how visitors use the site. We do not currently run paid advertising or retargeting campaigns, so we do not use advertising cookies at this time. If this changes — for example, if we begin running Google Ads or Meta ads — we will update this Policy and our cookie banner accordingly.

4. HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?

When you first visit our Website, you will be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the ‘Manage Cookies’ link in the website footer, or by reopening the cookie banner through your browser.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be rejected, as they are required for the Website to function (for example, to keep our booking pages secure).

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website, including booking and payment pages.

5. COOKIES WE USE

The table below sets out the categories of cookies used on our Website. As our Website is built on Squarespace, a number of these cookies are set automatically by the platform itself.

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our Website to function correctly, including maintaining browsing security. They cannot be switched off in our systems.

5.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages are most popular — so that we can improve it. Data is collected on an aggregated basis through Squarespace Analytics, our built-in analytics tool.

6. COOKIES FROM EMBEDDED BOOKING AND PAYMENT TOOLS

Our Website includes embedded third-party tools to allow you to book sessions and make payments, including Calendly (for scheduling), Stripe (for payment processing), and Paperbell (for coaching package management). These providers may set their own cookies when their tools are loaded on our Website, in order to process your booking or payment securely and prevent fraud.

These cookies are managed directly by the relevant provider and are not controlled by Clear Course Coaching. We encourage you to review their respective cookie and privacy policies for full details:

7. FUTURE USE OF ANALYTICS OR ADVERTISING COOKIES

If we add Google Analytics, a Meta Pixel, or any other analytics or advertising technology to our Website in future, the following cookies may be used:

Cookie Name: ga / ga_*

Provider / Type: Google Analytics (third-party)

Purpose: Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated client ID, used to compile aggregated, anonymised usage statistics.

Expiry: Up to 2 years

Cookie Name: _fbp

Provider / Type: Meta Pixel (third-party)

Purpose: Used by Meta to deliver advertising and measure ad performance if we run Facebook or Instagram ad campaigns.

Expiry: 90 days

These cookies will only be activated once you have given consent via our cookie banner, and this Policy will be updated to confirm which tools are live.

8. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are not the only way to recognise visitors to a website. We may, from time to time, use similar technologies such as web beacons (tracking pixels) within marketing emails to understand whether an email has been opened. In all cases, these technologies are subject to the same consent principles set out in this Policy.

9. HOW OFTEN WILL WE UPDATE THIS COOKIE POLICY?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, or for legal or regulatory reasons. The ‘Last Updated’ date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. Please check back periodically to stay informed.
