Server-Side Conversion Measurement

When you complete a purchase on our enrolment platform, we send a securely hashed (non-reversible) version of your email address to Google for the purpose of measuring advertising effectiveness. This does not set any additional cookies on your device. This processing only occurs when you have granted consent via our cookie banner, and it helps us understand which advertisements led to enrolments so we can improve our marketing.

Security & Anti-Spam Cookies

We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our contact and callback forms to verify that you are a human and not an automated bot. Cloudflare also sits in front of our site to protect against malicious traffic. These services may set cookies when a challenge is issued.
