We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our services and to provide a secure, personalised experience.

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and help keep your experience secure and personalised. These tools support secure login, session continuity, performance analytics, remembering preferences, and optional features like targeted updates or promotions, which are off until you choose to enable them. In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. These work in much the same way and help us improve the quality and effectiveness of our services.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for our platform to work properly. Others help us improve and personalise your experience. We only use these non-essential cookies after you choose them in Cookie Settings, and you can change your choice at any time.

You can change your mind at any time, or select "Use essential only". You can change your mind at any time from the cookie banner or by opening your cookie settings in the footer or visiting https://www.dedatahub.io/cookie-preferences (please update the live url for this function)
We only use third-party cookies in line with your Cookie Settings. Non-essential third-party cookies stay off until you allow them.
We carefully select third-party service providers and ensure they comply with data protection laws. However, these third parties operate under their own privacy policies. We do not allow third-party cookies to be placed without user consent.
We rely on the processors named in our Product Requirements Document (PRD) to deliver our services (e.g., infrastructure and AI model processing). These processors operate on our servers under data processing agreements and do not place their own cookies on your device for our services. If we introduce any new tools that set cookies, we will update this notice and Cookie Settings so you can control them.
Some features on our platform rely on trusted third-party tools, for instance, analytics to understand how the platform or site is used, learning components that make courses interactive, or partners that share career opportunities. These tools follow your Cookie Settings. By default, non-essential tools stay off and only switch on after you allow them.
Some of our partners operate outside of your country. When that happens, we use approved data-transfer safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses) and strict processor terms. We also protect data with encryption (TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest) and limit access through role-based controls.
We obtain consent before using any cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary. Our cookie settings tool (CMP) blocks non-essential cookies and tags until you allow them.
Voice features are optional. Before you use them, we ask for your permission. If you turn on Voice Mode, your speech is processed in real time to run the advisor and we do not store voice recordings. You can turn Voice Mode off at any time.
Other than that, we use a cookie settings tool that:
- Blocks non-essential cookies and tags until you choose them.
- Lets you give or withdraw consent by category at any time, with immediate effect.
- Offers a simple way to use essential cookies only.
- Remembers your choices and asks you to review them periodically.
We keep auditable records of your cookie preferences. In the UK/EEA, we re-prompt for choices at least every 6 months or when purposes change. Elsewhere, we follow local law (typically 6-12 months).
You have the following options to manage cookies:
| Category | Choices You Have | Impact on Your Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Accept all Cookies | You agree to all cookies, including essential, performance, functionality, and targeting cookies. | Full access to personalised features, tailored recommendations, and the best overall experience. |
| Reject Non-essential Cookies | Only strictly necessary cookies are enabled. Performance, functionality, and targeting cookies are blocked. | Platform will still work, but some features (like saved preferences or personalised learning suggestions) may not be available. |
| Manage Preferences | You select which categories of cookies to allow or reject (e.g., enabling functionality but rejecting advertising). | Flexible experience: essential services remain available, and you can fine-tune personalisation levels. |
| Withdraw Consent Anytime | You can change your mind and update cookie settings at any time. | Gives you full control over your privacy without losing access to core platform services. |
