1. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser and sent back to a website on later requests. Websites can also use browser storage, such as local storage, for small preferences that do not need to be sent with every request.
2. Essential session cookie
Maths Teacher Hub uses a PHP session cookie so the website can maintain a secure session while you move between pages. This supports features such as login state, form security and account functionality. The session cookie is essential for these features.
3. Authentication cookie
When you sign in, the site may use a signed authentication cookie to keep the account state reliable across the Maths Teacher Hub website. This cookie does not contain your readable password. It is used for authentication and security and is therefore considered essential.
4. Security and form protection
Session information is also used for security controls such as CSRF protection, account checks and abuse prevention. Blocking essential cookies can prevent login, membership, admin and protected form features from working correctly.
5. Essential-cookie notice preference
When you dismiss the cookie notice, the site currently stores a small browser local-storage value named mthEssentialCookieNotice. This simply remembers that the notice has been acknowledged so it does not need to appear on every page. It is not used for advertising or behavioural profiling.
6. Analytics
Maths Teacher Hub may record first-party server-side events such as resource views, downloads and favourites to understand which resources are useful. The current website does not require third-party advertising cookies for this internal usage reporting. If optional third-party analytics that require consent are introduced later, this policy and the website's consent controls should be updated first.
7. PayPal and external services
If you continue to PayPal checkout, PayPal may use its own cookies or similar technologies on PayPal-controlled pages. Those are governed by PayPal's own policies rather than this website's cookie settings.
8. Managing cookies
You can use your browser settings to inspect, block or delete cookies and site storage. If you block essential Maths Teacher Hub cookies, some features may stop working, including login, account access and secure form submission.
9. Changes to this policy
If the website begins using new analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookie technologies, this policy should be updated and any consent controls required by law should be added before those technologies are enabled.
