Cookie Policy for The Dragon Academy

Introduction
We use cookies and similar technologies to make this website work, improve user experience, and analyse traffic. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones may be used here, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to enable essential functions, remember settings, and collect analytics data. Cookies set by this website (first‑party) and by external services (third‑party) may be used.

Category of cookies you might encounter on this site

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the basic operation of the website and do not require user consent:

  • WordPress core cookies used when someone logs in or interacts with password‑protected areas (e.g., wordpress_logged_in_…, wordpress_[hash], wp-settings-…). These only apply to logged‑in users (e.g., administrators).

  • Security cookies set by Wordfence to help protect the site and login processes (e.g., wfwaf-authcookie-*). Only set for users with login access and help the firewall operate correctly.

  • Cookies set by the cookie consent plugin itself to remember your preference (e.g., “cookie law accepted”). These record whether you accepted or rejected cookies.

These cookies are essential and not used for analytics or marketing.

2. Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics and tracking cookies to help us understand how visitors use our website, measure website performance, and make improvements. These cookies collect information about things like the number of visitors to the site, how users interact with pages, the source of traffic, and how long visitors stay on pages. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally on their own. Examples of typical analytics cookies include cookies set by services such as Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat_*) which distinguish users and sessions and help generate anonymised usage statistics. These cookies (and any other tracking cookies) will only be set with your consent via the cookie banner or consent management tool.
 

3. Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences and choices, such as:

  • Language or display preferences (if configured)

  • Cookie consent choices (set by the Cookie Notice & Compliance plugin)

These do not track your behaviour for analytics or advertising.

Consent
You will be shown a cookie notice/banner when you first visit. By accepting, you consent to the use of non‑essential cookies (analytics, functional beyond essential). Essential cookies will be set regardless because they are necessary for the site.

Managing and opting out of cookies
You can control cookies via browser settings (delete, block, or restrict them). Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality. For Google Analytics, you can use browser tools like the Google Analytics opt‑out add‑on, or configure your cookie consent plugin to refuse analytics cookies.

Third‑party cookies
Cookies set by analytics providers (like Google Analytics) or other services are governed by their privacy policies. We do not control third‑party cookie practices.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be published here with an updated date.

If you have questions about this policy or the cookies used, contact us via the website’s contact page.
