Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how The Learning Fort uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage) on our website in compliance with the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, the GDPR (EU 2016/679), and the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC).

We do not place non-essential cookies on your device without your prior consent. When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner will ask for your preferences. You can update your preferences at any time.

​

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences, and — where you have consented — help us understand how visitors use our site.

We also use "Local Storage," which functions similarly to cookies but allows our systems to securely store necessary information, such as your authentication tokens, directly in your browser to keep you logged in.

 

3. Cookies We Use

​

• Strictly Necessary Cookies (No consent required): These cookies and local storage items are essential for the website to function securely. They enable core features such as secure login, session management, and secure payment processing. Because they are necessary to provide the service you have requested, they cannot be disabled in our systems.

  • Examples: Authentication tokens to keep you logged into your account, and security cookies set by our payment processor (Stripe) for fraud prevention during checkout.

• Performance and Analytics Cookies (Consent required): These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are visited most often. This helps us improve the site experience. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.

• Functionality Cookies (Consent required): These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred settings — to provide a more personalised experience. These are only placed with your explicit consent.

 

We do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies on this site. If this changes, this policy will be updated, and fresh consent will be requested.

 

4. Third-Party Cookies

Our platform relies on trusted third-party providers to deliver essential functionality. These providers may set their own cookies on your device:

​​

• Wix.com Ltd: As our website host, Wix sets strictly necessary cookies for platform routing, security, and performance. (Refer to the Wix Cookie Policy at wix.com/about/privacy).

• Stripe: As our payment processor, Stripe sets strictly necessary cookies on checkout pages for secure transaction processing and fraud detection. (Refer to Stripe's Cookie Policy at stripe.com/ie/cookie-settings).

 

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

The Irish Data Protection Commission requires that it is as easy to withdraw your consent as it is to give it. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

• Privacy Trigger Icon: You can update your consent preferences or withdraw consent at any time by clicking the persistent privacy icon located on your screen while browsing our site. This will reopen the consent banner so you can adjust your choices.

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through the settings menu. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your account or processing payments.

• Third-Party Opt-Out Tools: You can manage preferences for some third-party cookies via the Your Online Choices platform at youronlinechoices.com/ie.

 

6. Your Rights

Under Irish and EU law, you have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.

For any questions about our use of cookies, contact us at tlfireland@gmail.com.

 

7. Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acknowledgement of the updated policy, though we will seek fresh consent where our tracking practices materially change.
