1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Revolutionary Education CIC (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website https://www.revolutionaryeducation.co.uk.

We use cookies to help our website function properly, improve performance, analyse visitor behaviour, and, where consent is given, personalise content and marketing. This policy should be read alongside our Data Protection and Privacy Policy which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and activity. Cookies can be “session” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (stored for a set period of time).

We also use related technologies such as scripts and tags (for example, Google Tag Manager) which help our website operate and measure performance.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

a. Strictly Necessary (Functional) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to work properly and do not require your consent.
They allow you to log in, add products to your cart, and navigate pages securely.

Examples include:

• WooCommerce: remembers items in your shopping cart and checkout preferences.
• WordPress Core: manages logins, preferences, and session data.
• Complianz: records your cookie consent choices.
• Stripe: used for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.

b. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve functionality and user experience.

Examples include:

• Google Analytics: collects anonymous information about website traffic and interactions.
• Sourcebuster JS: tracks visit sources to help us understand how users find our site.
• Automattic / WordPress.com Stats: supports technical performance insights.

These cookies are only placed after you consent through the Complianz banner.

c. Marketing and Preference Cookies

We currently do not use advertising or remarketing cookies. However, our email marketing provider (MailerLite) may set cookies when you interact with our newsletter forms or pop-ups to remember preferences and track engagement (with consent).

If we introduce additional marketing tools (e.g. Facebook Pixel or YouTube embeds), this policy will be updated to reflect those changes.

4. Cookie Retention

We retain cookies for only as long as necessary:

• Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Functional cookies: typically expire after 1 year.
• Analytics cookies: retained for up to 2 years (as set by Google Analytics).
• MailerLite tracking cookies: retained for up to 1 year.

You can view or adjust detailed cookie durations at any time using the Complianz cookie banner or by checking your browser settings.

5. Consent and Control

When you first visit our website, you’ll see a cookie banner provided by Complianz. You can choose to accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences. Non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing) are not placed until you give explicit consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the cookie icon (usually in the bottom corner of your screen) or by clearing cookies in your browser.

Please note that if you disable all cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.

6. International Data Transfers

Some of the service providers we use (including Google and MailerLite) may process data outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), such as in the United States.
Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place — for example, through approved International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to protect your information to UK GDPR standards.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Know why your data is being collected and how long it will be kept.
• Access and correct your personal data.
• Withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time.
• Request deletion or restriction of your data.
• Complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been misused.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at natalie@revolutionaryeducation.co.uk.

8. Updates to This Policy

We review this policy regularly to ensure accuracy and compliance with evolving laws and technologies.
The latest version will always be available on our website and will include the “last updated” date at the top.
