Cookie Policy | Estavia

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or whether you have agreed to cookie use — which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Estavia uses cookies on this website to support basic functionality and to understand how visitors engage with our educational content. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties.

This policy explains the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

Cookie Types We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be switched off in our system, as disabling them would prevent you from using core parts of the website — such as navigating between pages or using the contact form.

Examples: session management, security tokens, consent records.

Duration: Session-based or up to 12 months.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use our site — for example, which pages are visited most often, or where visitors navigate away. This helps us improve the quality and relevance of our educational content.

Examples: page view tracking, session duration, referral sources (via Google Analytics).

Duration: Up to 2 years.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be used to show you relevant information about our programmes on other websites after your visit. They do not store personal information in a way that can identify you directly.

Examples: ad platform pixels (if active), remarketing tags.

Duration: Up to 90 days.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make — such as language or display settings — so you don't need to reset them each time you return to the site.

Examples: language selection, display preferences.

Duration: Up to 12 months.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The relevant third parties may include:

Google Analytics — for anonymised site usage reporting (analytics only).
Google Ads — for measuring enquiry conversions if advertising is active.
Meta (Facebook) — for audience insights and ad performance if Meta Pixel is active.
Microsoft Bing — for conversion tracking if Bing Ads are active.

Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy and cookie policy. We encourage you to review those policies independently.
