This Cookies Policy explains how HR Academy Ltd ("HR Academy", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It outlines the types of cookies we deploy, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device and collect information about your browsing habits. Cookies can be either "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain until they expire or are deleted).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our site:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the website to function properly, enabling features like page navigation, form submissions, and secure areas. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance and analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting information such as page views, traffic sources, and user flows. The data is aggregated and anonymous.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., region, language, saved settings) to deliver a more personalised experience.
- Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant content or measure the effectiveness of campaigns. We use these sparingly and only with your consent.
3. Cookies We Set
The table below summarises the core cookies we deploy:

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some features on our website rely on third parties that may set cookies on your device when you visit our site. These include analytics providers, video hosts, or embedded services. We limit the use of third-party cookies and only load them when necessary after you have provided consent.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Use the cookie banner on our site to accept or reject optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing our cookies from your browser and revisiting the site.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser’s help section for instructions.
- Opt out of third-party analytics or marketing networks directly via their own preference tools.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact site functionality. Rejecting optional cookies will limit our ability to analyse performance, but you can still access core content.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that indicates a preference for privacy. While there is no standardised response mechanism, we strive to honour privacy preferences and minimise tracking.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. When we make significant updates, we will update the “last updated” date and, if required, notify you through our cookie banner or website.
