Cookie policy

Cookies and similar technologies

This policy explains how MGR Music Tuition Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on Guitar Lessons Colchester. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Other technologies, including local storage and embedded services, can also store or access information on your device. The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) apply to these activities, alongside data protection law where personal information is involved.

The website does not load an analytics or advertising service of its own. Its navigation, article contents and enquiry fields do not use cookies or persistent browser storage. External services are described below; not using our own tracking cookies does not mean those services are cookie-free.

When external services load

Google verification loads when you first focus an enquiry form on the live website, before submission. This site does not embed a map or video player.

There are no separate “Allow” or withdrawal controls for these features on this website. You can email us instead of using the enquiry form. Your browser’s privacy settings can restrict third-party cookies and other storage; this does not necessarily prevent technical information being sent when an embedded service loads.

Continuing to browse or focusing a form is not, by itself, consent to optional cookies. Storage or access that is not covered by a PECR exception requires prior consent. A security purpose does not automatically exempt every activity of a third-party service, and browser settings do not replace any consent that we are required to obtain.

Verification loads on interaction with the enquiry form; it is not a consent mechanism. The precise requests and storage depend on the verification service and browser.

Enquiry verification: Google reCAPTCHA

Purpose: to help distinguish people from automated submissions and protect the enquiry service against spam and abuse. It loads when you focus an enquiry form on the live website. The form cannot send without successful verification; emailing us is an alternative.

Information and storage: Google processes technical information such as your IP address, browser information and verification activity. Google documents the _GRECAPTCHA cookie for risk analysis. Other Google storage or cookies may be involved depending on the service, your browser settings and existing Google cookies. See Google’s reCAPTCHA cookie documentation.

Provider: Google. Its current reCAPTCHA data-processing guidance describes Google as a processor of customer data for security, fraud and abuse prevention. MGR Music Tuition is responsible for its use of the service; linking to provider documentation does not transfer that responsibility to you.

Duration: Google sets the expiry of its verification cookies. Reloading this website does not delete those cookies. You can inspect or clear them through your browser’s site-data controls.

Managing cookies and browser settings

Use your browser’s privacy or site-data settings to block or delete cookies and other storage, including data associated with Google’s domains. Blocking verification can prevent form submission; you can email us instead.

Deleting cookies does not undo information already sent to a provider. Closing or leaving a page stops its active embedded features, but returning to the page can load them again. Blocking third-party cookies does not necessarily prevent a service from receiving your IP address when it connects.

For personal-data questions or requests, use the contact details in our privacy statement.
