Protecting and managing your online privacy

Himalayan Yoga Institute is committed to protecting you and any data (anonymous or otherwise) that we collect about you online. This section tells you how we use cookies, why, and how this allows us to improve our service. It also tells you how you can manage what cookies are stored on your device. We call it our Cookies Policy.

By using our websites (through any device) you agree that this Cookies Policy applies to that use in addition to any other terms and conditions which may apply.

We reserve the right to make changes to our Cookies Policy. Any such changes will appear here and become effective immediately. Your continued use of our websites is taken as meaning that you agree to any such changes.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to the device you use when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs, such as remembering your preferences, and generally improving your online experience.

There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way, but have minor differences:

Session cookies

Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. They facilitate tasks such as allowing a website to identify that a user of a particular device is navigating from page to page, supporting website security or basic functionality.

Many of the cookies we use are session cookies. For example, they help us to ensure the security of your session, and can also keep you signed in to site while you move between pages or service your account.

Our session cookies used for security are designed to be very difficult to read, change, access or use except by us when you have an active login. They contain no personal information that can be used to identify an individual.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies last after you have closed your browser, and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences. Sometimes persistent cookies are used by websites to provide targeted advertising based on the browsing history of the device.

Himalayan Yoga Institute uses persistent cookies in a few ways, for example, to remember your username for log on. We also use persistent cookies to allow us to analyse customer visits to our site, for example, our cookie. These cookies help us to understand how customers arrive at and use our site so we can improve the service.

For full details about our cookies, we’ve put together a list of the cookies we use.

All other cookies are third party cookies. We use both first party and third party cookies. You can read more about them below.

Targeting cookies

These cookies collect several pieces of information about your browsing habits. They are usually placed by advertising networks. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organisations such as media publishers.

These organisations do this in order to provide you with targeted adverts more relevant to you and your interests. This type of advertising is called online behavioural advertising. Companies providing this advertising are working with the UK’s Internet Advertising Bureau to deliver more information to consumers.

Publishers of advertising will, in the future, look to place an icon in the top right hand corner of an advert. When you click this icon, you’ll find more information about behavioural advertising at your online choices
