Cookie Notice
Last updated: 6 October 2026
We use a few cookies the site needs in order to work, and analytics and advertising cookies only if you accept them. You can browse the whole Directory with the optional ones switched off.
Your choice
A cookie is a small file a website saves in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work. Others measure visits or help show adverts.
On your first visit a banner asks whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. Nothing in those two groups is set until you accept. You can change your choice at any time through the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
The cookies we use
| Group | Set by | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | This site | Remembers your cookie choice | 6 months |
| Necessary | This site | Keeps a teacher signed in to the teacher account | Until sign-out, or until the sign-in expires |
| Necessary | Stripe | Helps prevent payment fraud. Set only when a teacher goes to pay | Up to 1 year |
| Analytics | Google Analytics (_ga and related) | Counts visits and shows us which pages are used | Up to 2 years |
| Advertising | Meta Pixel (_fbp) | Measures our Facebook and Instagram adverts and helps show them to relevant people | 3 months |
| Advertising | Google Ads (_gcl_au) | Measures our Google adverts | 3 months |
| Advertising | Reddit Pixel (_rdt_uuid) | Measures our Reddit adverts | 3 months |
| Video | YouTube or Vimeo | Set when you play a teacher’s intro video. The provider uses them to run the player and for its own statistics and advertising | Set by the provider |
Necessary cookies do not need consent, because the site cannot do what you ask without them.
Intro videos
A teacher’s video loads only when you press play. Until then, YouTube and Vimeo receive nothing from your visit. Pressing play lets that provider set its own cookies.
Changing your mind
Use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page to switch analytics or advertising cookies on or off. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, although blocking the necessary ones will stop teacher sign-in from working.
Our Privacy Policy explains what Google, Meta and Reddit receive and where that data goes.
