Legal & site information
Cookie Policy
How cookies and similar technologies are used on fretworkguitar.co.uk, what each type does, and how you can control them from your own browser.
Overview
Why this policy exists
This cookie policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on fretworkguitar.co.uk. It covers the types of cookies that may be set, what each type is used for, and how you can control them from your own browser. It applies to this website only and should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember information between page loads, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain for a set period. Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy. The sections below set out each category in turn, in plain language.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They may be used to maintain a session, to protect submitted forms against spam and automated abuse, and to remember your cookie preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off through the site, because disabling them would prevent core parts of it from working. You can still block them through your browser settings, though some features may then fail.

Analytics cookies
Where analytics are in use, they help the studio understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. That information is read in aggregate to improve content and to spot broken pages.
Analytics cookies are only set where consent has been given, and you can withdraw that consent at any time. If analytics are not in use, no such cookies are set.
Your choice
Consent is asked for before any analytics cookie is placed. Declining changes nothing about how the lessons pages, contact form, or resources work for you.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services used for hosting, spam protection, or embedded content. Those providers publish their own cookie and privacy policies, and the studio does not control the cookies they set.
What this means for you
- Review their policies. Each provider explains its own cookies in its own documentation, so check there first if you want the exact detail.
- Expect different scopes. A hosting cookie usually does a narrow job, while embedded content can behave like the site it came from.
- Treat external links as separate. Links to other sites are provided for reference only, and this policy does not cover those destinations.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete individual ones, block cookies from specific sites, and block all third-party cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect how this website and others behave, so it is worth checking what each option does before you apply it broadly.
- Open your browser settings Every major browser keeps cookie controls in the privacy or security section, usually two or three menus deep from the main settings view.
- Review what is stored Look through the stored cookies and delete anything you no longer recognise or want to keep on the device you are using.
- Set your blocking rules Choose whether to block third-party cookies wholesale or only from named sites. Site-by-site rules give you the most control without breaking everything.
- Check the help pages Step-by-step guidance for managing cookies sits in the help section of whichever browser you use, and it stays current with each release.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated if the cookies used on the site change, or if legal requirements change. The current version applies from the date it is published on this page.
Continued use of the website after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy. Significant changes are reflected in the content of this page rather than announced separately, so it is worth returning here if you have a question about what the site stores.
