We use cookies to ensure that you get the most out of our Site. A cookie is a small file that is automatically issued to your computer when you enter most websites (including this one) and which is stored by the browser on your computer's hard drive. Cookies identify your computer, not the individual user of your computer. Manchester Academy do not use cookies to collect personal information about you. Cookies are only used to track your order progress and user preferences and to improve your overall experience using the website.

We track two types of cookies: Temporary and Persistent

Temporary Cookie

A temporary cookie is used to keep track of your "session". Without that temporary cookie (which is not stored after you quit your browser) you would have to log on every time you access a new page.

Persistent Cookie

A persistent cookie is stored on your device. They help us provide you with user preferences, settings and information for future visits on our Platform. Persistent cookies allow convenient and easy access to familiar variables such as facilitating preferences such as favourites, bookmarks or language preferences. They can also be used to assess browsing behaviour.

Advertising Cookies
