Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how GetAnApprenticeship.co.uk uses cookies, local storage, and similar web technologies to provide you with a smooth, responsive, and secure browsing experience. By using our website, you consent to the deployment of necessary web technologies as described below.

1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit to store preference details and technical state. HTML5 localStorage is a secure browser mechanism that allows websites to hold non-sensitive data locally on your device without transferring it across web servers on every request.

2. How We Use Browser Storage

GetAnApprenticeship.co.uk maintains a privacy-first, minimal storage model. We utilise local browser storage and essential cookies for key operational features:

• Saved Shortlists: Bookmarked apprenticeship vacancies are saved directly to your browser's local storage so you can easily review them during future visits.

• Site Customisation: Display modes and theme settings (such as Light or Dark mode preferences) are stored locally on your device.

• Essential Security & Performance: Session tokens may be used temporarily to deliver site security, mitigate automated bot abuse, and balance server traffic load.

3. Non-Essential & Third-Party Tracking

We do not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-platform behavioural profiling networks. Your search terms, filter selections, and location queries are processed strictly in real-time to return matching apprenticeship listings and are never sold.

4. Managing & Clearing Your Cookies

You retain total control over the data stored in your web browser. You can clear your saved shortlists, stored preferences, or session cookies at any time through your browser settings:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data

• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

• Apple Safari: Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data

5. Revisions to This Cookie Policy

We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect web standard updates, regulatory adjustments under UK GDPR/PECR, or platform feature additions. Any updates will be published to this page alongside a revised modification timestamp.
