This Cookie Notice explains how the International Training Center for Cosmetic Gynecology and Aesthetics (“ITCGA”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website located at www.itcga.co.uk, together with any subdomains and digital learning platforms operated by ITCGA (the “Website”).

This Cookie Notice should be read together with the ITCGA Privacy Notice, which explains how we process personal information more generally, and the ITCGA Website Terms of Use.

This Cookie Notice is provided in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

We also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits, which perform comparable functions. In this Cookie Notice, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser; or
• Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

Cookies may also be first-party cookies (set by ITCGA) or third-party cookies (set by external service providers, such as analytics or video platforms).

2. THE COOKIES WE USE

The cookies used on the Website fall into the following categories:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the Website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure areas, registration and payment processes, load balancing and security protection. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off within our systems, as the Website cannot function properly without them.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits, measure traffic sources and understand how visitors move around the Website. This helps us to improve the structure, content and performance of the Website. The information collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. These cookies are used only with your consent.

2.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to remember choices you make — such as your language preference, region or display settings — and to provide enhanced, more personalised features. These cookies are used only with your consent.

2.4 Marketing and Communication Cookies

Where used, these cookies help us to measure the effectiveness of our educational communications and to present information about ITCGA programmes that may be relevant to your professional interests, including on third-party platforms. ITCGA does not use cookies to sell personal data to third parties. These cookies are used only with your consent.

3. YOUR CONSENT

When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to:

• accept all cookies;
• reject all non-essential cookies; or
• customise your preferences by cookie category.

Strictly necessary cookies are always active, as they are required for the Website to function. All other categories are used only if you have given your consent.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie preference settings available on the Website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some cookies on the Website may be set by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, such as website analytics providers, embedded video platforms, webinar and virtual learning platforms, payment service providers and social media platforms.

These third parties may process information collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. ITCGA does not control third-party cookies and accepts no responsibility for the practices of third-party providers.

An up-to-date list of the specific cookies in use on the Website, including their provider, purpose and duration, is available through the cookie preference settings on the Website.

5. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES IN YOUR BROWSER

In addition to the cookie preference settings on the Website, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Guidance is available within the help section of your browser (for example, Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox).

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Website, including your ability to register for Programmes or access secure areas.
