What this website stores in your browser
There are no advertising or tracking cookies on this website, and no analytics.
The few cookies below are only there to make booking and My bookings work. None of them tracks you.
The cookies
| Name | What it's for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| hb_client | Keeps you signed in to My bookings on this phone or computer, after you tap the link I email you. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
| hb_signin_to | Remembers the email address you asked for a My bookings link, so the next page can show it and you can spot a typo. | 30 minutes |
| hb_just_booked | Lets the confirmation page show which email address your confirmation went to, only on the device you booked from. | 1 day |
| hb_course_key | After you buy a course online, lets you book your sessions straight away on the same device. | 7 days |
| hb_admin | Keeps me signed in to my own diary. You'll only get it if you sign in to the admin area, which is just me. | 30 days, renewed each time I use the diary |
Paying online
If you pay online (a deposit, the full price or a course), you'll go to Stripe's secure payment page. Stripe sets its own cookies there, for security and to prevent fraud. Stripe's cookie policy is at stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.
Why there's no cookie banner
Every cookie this website sets is strictly necessary for it to work, so the law doesn't require asking for consent, and there's no banner. If that ever changes, for example if analytics are added, I'll ask you first.
