3. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use web-based services. They help websites function, remember preferences, keep users signed in, and understand how the service is used.
We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and scripts. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of them as "cookies and similar technologies".
These technologies may be set by SchoolCentralX or by trusted third-party providers acting on our behalf.
4. Why We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

- Keep the website and web platform secure and authenticated
- Maintain login sessions
- Remember your settings and preferences
- Enable core functionality and improve usability
- Understand how visitors interact with our web services
- Diagnose technical issues and improve performance

5. Categories of Cookies We Use
5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the website or web-based service to function properly. They enable login sessions, authentication, security features, fraud prevention, navigation, and basic operations. Without them, parts of the service may not work. These cookies usually do not require consent.
5.2 Functionality Cookies
These remember your choices (such as language or display preferences) to provide a more consistent and personalised experience.
5.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These help us understand how users interact with our website and web services so we can improve content, navigation, performance, and reliability. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using these cookies.
5.4 Security-Related Technologies
Some technologies help detect misuse, protect sessions, and maintain platform integrity. When essential for security or the requested service, they are treated as strictly necessary.
5.5 Third-Party and Embedded Content Cookies
Some features may use trusted third-party services (e.g., for analytics, support tools, or embedded content). These providers may set their own cookies. We select and manage such services responsibly and, where required, seek consent for non-essential ones.
6. Consent and Managing Your Preferences
Where required by applicable law (such as the UK PECR), we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies or enabling similar technologies.
You can manage your preferences through:
- Our cookie banner or consent management tool (where available)
- Your browser settings
You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customise categories. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are needed for the basic operation of the website or service.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all cookies
- Set preferences for future cookies
Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent some parts of the SchoolCentralX website or web platform from working correctly.
8. Cookie Retention
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period, but we aim to keep their lifespan proportionate to their purpose.
9. Do Not Track Signals
We do not currently respond uniformly to "Do Not Track" or similar browser signals because there is no single industry standard. Please use our consent tools or browser settings to manage cookies and similar technologies.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our technology, services, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify users.
