What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login state or language) so you don’t have to re-enter them on every visit, and they help site owners understand how their site is used.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; this policy refers to all of these as “cookies”. This policy is issued by GlobalSpeak Language Ltd and applies to this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary (always on)

Analytics & performance (optional)
Help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how people navigate, and where problems occur — so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. Set only with your consent.
Functional (optional)
Remember choices you make — such as language preference or region — to provide a more personalised experience. Set only with your consent.
Marketing (optional)
Used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and, where enabled, show you relevant content on other platforms. These may be set by third-party advertising partners, only with your consent.
