By using cookies responsibly, we ensure your HACCP Food Safety Training experience is optimised for performance, accessibility, and compliance with GDPR.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help websites function, remember choices, and understand how visitors use the site. Cookies can be session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (stored until expiry or deletion). For our HACCP Course platform, cookies enable essential features like secure login, progress tracking, and certificate generation.

When you access HACCP Course Online training, cookies help remember your course progress, language preferences, and assessment status. This ensures you can pick up your HACCP Food Safety Training exactly where you left off, whether you are studying from London, elsewhere in the UK, or internationally.

Why We Use Cookies

Cookies are fundamental to delivering a seamless HACCP Food Safety Training experience. Here is how we use them to support your HACCP Course journey:

  • Essential operation: Enable secure login, session continuity, payments, and course access for HACCP Course Online modules. Without these cookies, you would not be able to access your HACCP Food Safety Training account or complete assessments.
  • Performance: Improve speed, reliability, and media playback for HACCP Course Online courses. These cookies ensure your training videos and interactive content load quickly, whether you are studying from London, elsewhere in the UK, or internationally.
  • Analytics: Understand what content is useful so we can enhance our HACCP Course experience. By analysing how learners interact with HACCP Food Safety Training materials, we continuously improve our platform and certification pathways.
  • Personalisation: Remember your preferences (language, region, progress) for a smoother HACCP Food Safety Training experience. This ensures you can resume your HACCP Course exactly where you left off.
  • Security: Prevent misuse, detect anomalies, and protect your account during HACCP Course Online sessions. Your HACCP Certificate data and personal information are safeguarded through robust security measures.

These cookies work together to provide a premium HACCP Food Safety Training experience for learners across the UK and beyond.

Types of Cookies

Our HACCP Food Safety Training platform uses different categories of cookies to deliver the best possible HACCP Course experience:

  1. Strictly Necessary: Required for core site functions and cannot be switched off. These enable you to log in to your HACCP Food Safety Training account, complete assessments, and access your HACCP Certificate upon course completion.
  2. Functional: Remember your settings and choices to provide enhanced features during HACCP Course Online learning. They store your language preference, course bookmarks, and display settings for an optimised experience.
  3. Performance: Improve site speed, responsiveness, and stability for HACCP Course delivery. These cookies help our servers handle traffic efficiently so learners in the UK and internationally can access training without delays.
  4. Analytics: Help us measure usage to improve our HACCP Food Safety Training platform. Understanding how learners navigate through HACCP Course Online content enables us to enhance the learning journey and certification process.
  5. Advertising: Deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance (where used). This helps potential learners in the UK discover our HACCP Course offerings when searching for workplace safety certification.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for delivering HACCP Food Safety Training securely and reliably. They enable core functionality that makes your HACCP Course accessible:

  • Authentication and session management: Securely log you into your HACCP Food Safety Training account and maintain your session while completing HACCP Course Online modules.
  • Shopping cart and payment security: Enable safe purchase of HACCP Course places, corporate bulk orders for London and the UK-based organisations, and secure checkout processing.
  • Load balancing and traffic distribution: Ensure stable performance when thousands of learners across the UK access HACCP Food Safety Training simultaneously.
  • Fraud prevention and system integrity: Protect your HACCP Certificate credentials and personal data from unauthorised access or manipulation.

We also set a consent cookie (bmh_consent) that records your cookie preferences. This is classified as strictly necessary because it allows us to respect your choices across visits without asking repeatedly.

Because these cookies are essential to the website's operation, they cannot be turned off from our side. Your browser can still block them, but the site may not work properly - you would be unable to access HACCP Course Online training, complete assessments, or download your HACCP Cert upon completion.

Analytics Cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)

We use analytics to understand how visitors interact with our HACCP Food Safety Training platform so we can improve content and usability. Analytics help us identify which HACCP Course pages are most helpful, where learners spend the most time, and how we can enhance the HACCP Course Online learning experience.

Where used, analytics cookies collect aggregated usage data such as page views, time on page, device information, and navigation patterns. This data helps us optimise the HACCP Food Safety Training journey for learners across the UK and internationally. We use these insights to:

  • Improve HACCP Course content and module sequencing based on learner behaviour.
  • Identify technical issues that may affect HACCP Course Online performance.
  • Understand which HACCP Food Safety Training topics need additional resources or clarification.
  • Optimise the HACCP Certificate download and verification processes.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on. Learn more: Google Cookies.

Advertising & Remarketing Cookies

Where used, advertising cookies help deliver relevant ads and measure campaign performance. These cookies may help people searching for HACCP Food Safety Training in the UK and beyond discover our accredited HACCP Course offerings.

Remarketing cookies may show you information about our HACCP Course Online training after you have visited our site, helping you remember to complete your HACCP Certification or explore HACCP Refresher options. These may include Google Ads or similar platforms.

We use advertising responsibly to help employers and individuals find quality HACCP Food Safety Training solutions across the UK.

Security, Server Logs & Proof of Service Delivery

Like every professional online platform, British HACCP automatically processes certain technical data alongside cookies to keep your account safe and to operate our HACCP Course Online platform reliably. This is standard, legally recognised practice for digital service providers.

When you use the platform, our servers and security systems record technical information such as:

  • IP address and approximate network location - used for account security, fraud prevention, and detecting unauthorised access to HACCP Food Safety Training;
  • Device and browser information (user agent) - used for compatibility, security, and support;
  • Sign-in events and key account activity - such as registration, acceptance of our terms, course start confirmations, orders, training progress, assessments, and HACCP Certificate generation.

This information serves three purposes, all based on our legitimate interest under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f):

  1. Security: protecting your account and our platform from fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access;
  2. Proof of service delivery: maintaining reliable records that confirm when digital training was delivered, accessed, and completed - which protects both you and us in the event of any billing question or payment dispute;
  3. Legal compliance: meeting our obligations to payment providers, card networks, and applicable law.

These technical records are not used for advertising, are never sold, and are kept only as long as needed for the purposes above, in line with our retention rules. Detailed activity logs are automatically deleted after a limited period, while records evidencing acceptance of our terms are retained for the duration required as legal evidence.

The device cookie and fair use of accounts

Two strictly necessary, first party cookies keep every account with its owner on British HACCP. The device cookie (vpxdid, HttpOnly, encrypted, up to two years) gives this browser a random identifier, so the platform can tell your phone from your laptop and recognise a device past your account's limit without reading its address, which changes all day on a mobile network. The course pass cookie (cga, two hours) lets the course player load its slides quickly and only for the courses your account owns. Neither cookie is used for advertising, neither is shared, and both work without any choice on your part because the learning area cannot be protected without them. A small note cookie (fu_notice_seen, seven days) only remembers that you closed a fair use note on your dashboard.

Clearing these cookies does not sign you out of the rules: a cleared device cookie reads as a new device, which is why an account that keeps clearing it may be asked to approve the device from the owner's email.

Data Retention & Cookie Expiry

Cookies persist for different durations depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiry date or until you delete them. For HACCP Food Safety Training purposes, we retain cookies only as long as necessary to provide our services effectively.

  • Session cookies: Expire when you close your browser (login sessions, CSRF tokens).
  • Consent cookie (bmh_consent): Retained for 365 days to remember your preferences.
  • Analytics cookies: Typically 2 years (Google Analytics _ga), 24 hours (_gid).
  • Course progress cookies: Retained for the duration of your access period.

We review our cookie usage periodically to ensure alignment with data minimisation principles and GDPR compliance.

Section 13 of 16

International Data Transfers

Some providers that set cookies may process data outside the EEA/UK. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms, as provided by the relevant vendors.

As British HACCP serves learners throughout the UK, including London, as well as the UK and Europe, we ensure all data transfers comply with applicable regulations. Your HACCP Certificate data and course progress information are handled with the highest security standards regardless of where processing occurs.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our HACCP Food Safety Training services. As we continue to enhance our HACCP Course delivery and HACCP Course Online platform, cookie requirements may evolve.

Material updates will be highlighted on this page. We encourage learners completing HACCP Food Safety Training in the UK and beyond to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies to improve your certification experience.
