What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on a computer, phone or other device by a website. Cookies can help websites function correctly, remember information during a visit and provide information about how a service is used.

Types of cookie

Session cookies

Temporary cookies used during a visit. They normally expire when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

Cookies that remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted, allowing information to be recognised across visits.

Third-party cookies

Cookies set by a service other than the website being visited, for example where a site uses external content, analytics or other service providers.

How we use cookies

These cookies are used during the active browser session and expire when the browser application is closed. They are not intended to be stored permanently on the device and do not contain personal data.

Managing cookies

Our cookie banner lets you choose Allow all cookies or Essential only. Essential only keeps embedded YouTube videos disabled. Allow all cookies enables these videos and permits the provider’s optional cookies and similar technologies. You can change your choice using Cookie settings in the footer on any page.

We store your choice in this browser for up to six months using local storage. This preference applies to the SportsConfidence website; the separate MySkillsProfile assessment platform has its own essential session cookies.

Most browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy or website-data settings. Blocking essential session cookies may prevent parts of the website or assessment platform from operating correctly.

Consult the help information supplied with your browser for instructions relevant to your device and browser version.

Changes to this policy

This page will be updated if the cookies used by SportsConfidence or MySkillsProfile change. We recommend reviewing the policy periodically.
