HOW WE USE COOKIES

The Foundation and School websites use Google Analytics, a service that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. It is the most widely used website statistics service.

To gather statistical information, Google Analytics use ‘performance cookies’. These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use websites, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, whether they have been to the site before and how long they remain on each page.

These cookies do not collect personal data. The information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous and only used to improve how a website works.
