Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow us to recognise your browser, remember certain information between visits, and understand how our website is used. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

We use the following categories of cookies on hawktradingeducation.com:

• Strictly necessary cookies - required for the website to function. These cannot be switched off, as the website cannot function properly without them.
• Analytics cookies - used via Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website, including pages visited, time spent, and referral source. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. IP address is used transiently to derive an approximate location and is then discarded. We retain user level and event level analytics data for 14 months, after which it is deleted automatically. We do not enable Google Signals, cross device tracking, or advertising personalisation. This information is used in aggregate to improve our website and content.
• Security and performance cookies - used via Cloudflare to protect the website from malicious activity and to optimise content delivery.

We do not currently use cookies for third party advertising or retargeting purposes. If this changes, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly and, where required by law, your consent will be sought.

Some cookies on our website are set by third party services we use to operate and improve the website, rather than by Hawk directly. These include:

• Google Analytics 4 - website analytics. Google's own privacy and cookie practices apply to data it collects on our behalf. More information is available at Google's Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare - security and content delivery. Cloudflare's own privacy and cookie practices apply to data it collects in providing this service.
• Discord - where you click through to The Campus community, Discord's own cookies and privacy practices will apply once you are on Discord's platform. Hawk does not control cookies set by Discord.

We do not control the cookie practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies for further information.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menu. Please note that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some features of our website may not function correctly.

For analytics cookies, you may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available from Google.

Further general information on managing cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, or our legal obligations. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
