Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to help site owners understand how their service is used. This policy explains how Tutor Island uses cookies and similar technologies such as local storage.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary. These keep you signed in, keep your session secure, and let core features such as messaging and payment work. The platform cannot function properly without them, so they do not require consent.
- Preferences. These remember choices you make, such as filters, so your experience is more consistent between visits.
- Analytics. Where used, these help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. We set these only where permitted, and in a privacy-conscious way.
Tutor Island does not use cookies to serve third-party advertising.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by the trusted providers we use to run the service, for example our payment processor during checkout. These providers set cookies needed to complete their part of the service securely, and their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.
4. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies, though blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of Tutor Island from working, such as signing in or paying to connect. Where we use non-essential cookies that require consent, you will be able to accept or decline them.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the platform develops. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. For more on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy. Questions can be sent to support@tutorisland.co.uk.
