A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. Amad Academy uses only strictly necessary cookies. The website cannot work safely without them, so we do not ask for consent. We use no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use local storage or similar techniques in your browser to track you. If we ever want to add a cookie that is not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent first.
The public pages (home, about, services and these legal pages) set no cookies at all. The contact page and the student login page set the cookies below as soon as they open, because their forms need them.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
__Host-amad_session | Keeps the contact and login forms working and protects your session. Only sent over a secure connection, and not readable by scripts on the page. | Strictly necessary, set by us | 7 days after your last visit to those pages |
XSRF-TOKEN | Protects forms against forged requests from other websites. | Strictly necessary, set by us | 7 days after your last visit to those pages |
When the student learning platform opens, it will need cookies to keep students signed in. We will list each one here, with its purpose and how long it lasts, before it is used.
Security cookies from our security and delivery network
The network that protects this website from bots and attacks may set its own short-lived, strictly necessary security cookies. Which of them you see depends on the security settings in use, and they are set only when a security feature is switched on or a security check is needed:
__cf_bm: tells people from automated programs. It lasts 30 minutes of inactivity.cf_clearance: proves that you passed a security check. It is short-lived, and how long is set by our security settings.- Other short-lived cookies whose names start with
cfor__cf, for example for rate limiting.
The bot check on the contact form does not need a cookie of its own for an ordinary check. It issues the pass cookie above only if its optional pre-clearance mode is switched on, which we do not use.
Controlling cookies
You can delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, the contact form and the student sign-in may stop working.
