    Last updated: 28 September 2026

    Version 2.0 · effective 28 September 2026 · supersedes the version dated 2 January 2026

    Scope

    This notice covers anything Standards Academy stores on your device through this site, and anything it reads back from it. That includes cookies and the storage a browser makes available to a website.

    1. What Standards Academy sets

    Standards Academy sets only what is necessary for the site to operate. It sets no analytics cookie and no advertising cookie, and nothing on this site follows you to another.

    Name Purpose Class Duration
    __dpl Set by the hosting platform, not by Standards Academy, to route and serve requests Platform The session
    sb-auth-token Maintains a signed-in session. Set only when you sign in Necessary Until you sign out
    cookie-consent Records the choice you make on the banner. Held in your browser's local storage, not as a cookie Necessary Until you clear it
    1.1

    The payment processor sets cookies of its own once you reach the payment page. Those are necessary to take payment and to prevent fraud, and its own notice governs them.

    1.2

    The cookie marked Platform is set by the service that hosts this site and not by Standards Academy. Standards Academy has asked that service to confirm whether the identifier is used for any purpose beyond serving the site, and shall amend this notice on receipt of that confirmation. Standards Academy itself sets no analytics cookie and no advertising cookie.

    2. Your choice

    2.1

    Standards Academy shall display a banner on your first visit. You may accept, refuse, or decide by class. Refusal shall take one action, in the same place as acceptance.

    2.2

    Refusal costs you nothing on this site, because Standards Academy sets nothing that requires your consent.

    2.3

    You may revise your choice at any time through the Manage Cookie Preferences control on this page. You may also block or delete cookies in your browser, although the site may not function fully where you block what is necessary.

    3. If this changes

    3.1

    Where Standards Academy introduces an analytics cookie or any other non-essential cookie, it shall not set it until you have consented. It shall amend this notice first, and the banner shall ask before anything is stored.
