🍪 Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how INSPIRATIONAL SEMINARS LIMITED ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the AI for Productivity 2026 website (the "Website"), and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal data.

Our Website is operated by INSPIRATIONAL SEMINARS LIMITED, registered at 4 Horton Place, LITTLEHAMPTON, BN16 4GL, United Kingdom. The Website exists solely to support our free educational webinar series on artificial intelligence for productivity, time management, and task optimization. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and giving you the ability to make informed choices.

By continuing to use our Website after being presented with the cookie consent banner, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookies Policy. You may choose to accept, decline, or manage your cookie preferences at any time using the options described below.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and provide information to website operators. Cookies allow websites to remember your preferences, recognize returning visitors, and understand how visitors interact with content.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

• First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. They are typically used for functional purposes such as remembering your language preference or login status.
• Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. These are often used for analytics purposes, allowing website owners to understand aggregate usage patterns.
• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They exist only during the time you are actively browsing the Website.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember preferences between visits.

In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as local storage (localStorage) may be used for similar purposes. Local storage allows websites to store small amounts of data in your browser that persists across sessions. We use localStorage to remember your cookie consent preference.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use a limited number of cookie types on our Website. Below is a detailed breakdown of each category, including the purpose, duration, and whether the cookies are first-party or third-party.

4. Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Website, you will see a cookie consent banner in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This banner presents you with three clear options:

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage using the key cookieConsent. This ensures that the banner does not reappear every time you visit the Website. If you wish to change your preference later, you can clear your browser's local storage or site data for this domain, which will cause the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.

The cookie consent banner does not block access to Website content. It is designed to be non-intrusive and appears as a small card in the corner of the screen, allowing you to continue browsing while deciding on your cookie preferences.

5. How to Manage and Delete Cookies

Beyond the consent banner on our Website, you have several additional methods available to control how cookies are handled by your browser. Most modern web browsers provide built-in settings that allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies.

Browser-Level Controls

Each browser provides its own interface for managing cookies. Below are general instructions for the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. Here you can block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or view and remove individual cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings, then Privacy & Security. Under the Cookies and Site Data section, you can clear data, manage exceptions, and choose how Firefox handles cookies.
• Safari: Navigate to Preferences, then Privacy. Safari provides options to block all cookies, prevent cross-site tracking, and manage website data for individual sites.
• Microsoft Edge: Navigate to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. You can choose to block or allow specific cookies, clear browsing data, and manage site-specific cookie permissions.

Resetting Your Cookie Consent Preference

If you want to change the cookie consent choice you made on our Website, you can do so by clearing the site data for this domain in your browser settings. This will remove the cookieConsent entry from local storage, causing the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that disabling all cookies may affect how the Website functions. Essential cookies are required for basic features such as form submissions and session management. If you disable all cookies at the browser level, some features of the Website may not work as intended. However, the educational content of the Website will remain fully accessible regardless of your cookie settings.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we rely on the following legal bases for placing cookies on your device:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are exempt from the consent requirement under PECR Regulation 6(4) because they are essential for providing the service you have explicitly requested (e.g., submitting a registration form).
• Analytics cookies: These are placed only after you have given your affirmative consent through the cookie banner. Your consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, in line with GDPR Article 6(1)(a). You can withdraw this consent at any time by clearing your site data.

We do not use pre-ticked checkboxes or implied consent mechanisms. The cookie banner requires an active choice from you before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.

7. Data Collected Through Cookies

The analytics cookies used on this Website may collect the following types of anonymized and aggregated data:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search engine (how you arrived at our site)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Screen resolution and device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Approximate geographic location (country or city level, derived from anonymized IP address)

This data is used exclusively to understand aggregate trends and improve the Website experience. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information. IP addresses are anonymized before being processed or stored by our analytics provider.

Cookie data is not sold, shared with third parties for marketing, or used for any purpose other than the analytical improvement of this educational Website. For full details on data handling, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

8. Third-Party Cookies

The only third-party cookies used on this Website are those set by Google Analytics, which is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our Website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the Website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the United Kingdom.

We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy-enhancing settings:

• IP anonymization is enabled, so your full IP address is never stored
• Data sharing with Google for advertising purposes is disabled
• Demographics and interest reporting features are turned off
• Data retention is set to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted

We do not use any other third-party services that set cookies on our Website. There are no embedded social media widgets, advertising networks, or third-party marketing tools present on this site.

9. Children's Privacy

This Website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect data from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has interacted with our Website and cookies have been placed on their device, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to address the situation promptly.

10. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our operational practices. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, present the cookie consent banner again so that you can review and confirm your preferences.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Significant changes will take effect no sooner than 14 days after the updated policy is published on this page.
