1. Scope of this Cookie Policy

This policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used through the Phil Adair Training website.

It should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information collected through the website may be used, disclosed, stored and protected.

In this policy, “Phil Adair Training”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operator of philadairtraining.com. “You” refers to a person who accesses or interacts with the website.

2. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text or data file that a website places or reads on a computer, smartphone, tablet or other connected device.

Cookies can help a website remember information about a visit, such as:

• language or display preferences;
• whether a consent choice has already been made;
• website security and session information;
• pages viewed and links selected;
• traffic source and general interaction patterns;
• whether a user is logged into an administrative account.

A cookie does not normally contain the complete contents of a document or account. It may contain an identifier that allows a website or service provider to recognise a browser during or across visits.

3. Similar tracking and storage technologies

The website may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.

References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

4. Categories of cookies we may use

The website may use the following cookie categories. The exact technologies active during a visit can depend on website configuration, your location, browser settings and consent choices.

5. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required for the website or a service explicitly requested by the user.

These cookies may be used to:

• deliver webpages through hosting and network systems;
• protect forms and administrative pages from abuse;
• detect suspicious traffic or security incidents;
• remember cookie consent choices;
• maintain an authenticated WordPress session for authorised users;
• balance website traffic or maintain technical stability;
• complete a transaction or requested website function.

Because these cookies are required for essential functions, they may not be available through the optional cookie preference controls.

You may still block them through your browser, but doing so can prevent parts of the website from operating correctly.

6. Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics technologies may help us understand how visitors use the website and whether content is performing effectively.

Analytics information may include:

• pages viewed and approximate visit duration;
• website navigation paths;
• general traffic and referral sources;
• browser, operating system and device category;
• approximate country, city or region;
• technical errors and page performance;
• aggregated interactions with links or page elements.

Analytics data may be associated with a browser or device identifier. We use this information to understand general website performance, improve navigation and identify content that may require updating.

Where required by applicable law, analytics technologies will be activated only after the relevant consent has been provided.

7. Functional cookies

Functional cookies may support optional features or remember preferences that are not strictly necessary for the website to operate.

They may be used to remember:

• language or regional preferences;
• display settings;
• previous form or interface choices;
• whether an optional website notice has been dismissed;
• preferences associated with embedded tools.

Disabling functional cookies may not prevent access to the main website, but certain features may be less convenient or unavailable.

8. Advertising and campaign measurement cookies

The website may use advertising or campaign measurement technologies where relevant to understand how users discover the website or interact with marketing activity.

These technologies may be used to:

• attribute website visits to a campaign or referral source;
• measure whether an advertisement produced a defined action;
• limit repeated presentation of an advertisement;
• create or support audience segments;
• measure campaign performance across websites or devices;
• support remarketing where this has been lawfully enabled.

Advertising cookies can involve third-party tracking and may contribute to profiles of browsing activity. They will not be treated as strictly necessary for access to general website content.

Where applicable, these technologies are used only after the required consent has been provided.

9. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly through the philadairtraining.com domain. They may support essential functions, consent preferences, security or website analytics.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are set or accessed by an external provider whose service is incorporated into the website.

They may be associated with:

• website analytics;
• spam prevention and security;
• email subscription forms;
• payment processing;
• video or audio players;
• maps or location services;
• social media content;
• advertising and campaign measurement;
• affiliate tracking.

Third-party providers may combine information collected through their technologies with information obtained through other websites, services or accounts, subject to their own privacy documentation.

10. Session and persistent cookies

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary and normally expire when the browser or relevant session is closed.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted. They may remember preferences, recognise a returning browser or support longer-term measurement.

The retention period depends on the cookie’s function and the provider responsible for it. Some may expire within hours or days, while others may remain for several months.

We aim to avoid retaining cookie information for longer than reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.

11. Cookie consent and preference controls

Where a cookie consent tool is displayed, you may be offered choices such as:

• accepting all available cookie categories;
• rejecting optional cookies;
• allowing selected categories only;
• reviewing further information about the categories;
• changing a previous consent choice.

Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because they support requested or essential website functions.

Withdrawing consent does not automatically delete information already lawfully processed before withdrawal. It should prevent the applicable optional technologies from continuing to operate through the website, subject to technical processing time.

12. How to manage or withdraw consent

You can manage cookies through one or more of the following methods:

1. Use the website’s cookie preference controls where available.
2. Change your browser settings to block or limit cookies.
3. Delete cookies previously stored in your browser.
4. Use private or restricted browsing modes.
5. Adjust privacy settings within relevant third-party accounts.
6. Use recognised browser extensions or device privacy controls.

Your choice may apply only to the browser and device on which it was made. You may need to repeat it when using another browser, clearing stored data or accessing the website from another device.

13. Browser cookie settings

Most browsers allow users to review, block, limit or delete cookies.

Browser controls may allow you to:

• block all cookies;
• block only third-party cookies;
• delete cookies when the browser closes;
• view individual cookies and their expiry information;
• allow cookies only for selected websites;
• clear local storage and other site data.

The exact steps depend on the browser and version you use. Review the browser’s privacy or help documentation for current instructions.

Blocking all cookies may interfere with consent controls, forms, security systems, embedded content or other website functions.

14. Do Not Track and privacy preference signals

Some browsers or extensions transmit signals intended to communicate a privacy preference, such as Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

The technical interpretation and legal status of these signals can differ between jurisdictions, browsers and service providers.

Where required by applicable law and supported by the website’s systems, recognised privacy preference signals may be used to restrict certain optional tracking activities.

You should also use the website’s cookie controls and browser settings rather than relying solely on one automated signal.

15. Third-party services and embedded content

Some pages may include external services or embedded content. Loading or interacting with that content may allow the relevant provider to place cookies or receive technical information.

Examples can include:

• embedded video or audio players;
• social media posts or sharing tools;
• maps and location services;
• email subscription technology;
• payment interfaces;
• analytics dashboards;
• advertising or conversion tracking;
• affiliate links and referral systems.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, cookie policies and privacy practices. Phil Adair Training does not control how an independent provider handles information after you interact directly with its service.

Where technically practical and legally required, optional embedded services may be restricted until the relevant cookie choice has been made.

16. Changes to website cookies and this policy

The cookies and service providers used by the website may change when:

• new website features are introduced;
• plugins or hosting services are replaced;
• analytics or security tools are updated;
• embedded content is added or removed;
• legal or regulatory requirements change.

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect those changes. The latest version will appear on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Where an update materially changes optional data collection, a new consent choice may be requested where required.

17. Questions about cookies
