This Cookie Policy explains how The Birkbeck (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, located at thebirkbeck.co.uk.
This website does not use cookies. We do not use any analytics, advertising, tracking, or social media cookies, and we do not use cookies to remember your preferences, log you in, or track your activity on this site. There is no shopping cart, no user account system, and no embedded social media sharing buttons on this website, all of which commonly rely on cookies.
As a result, you will not see a cookie consent banner when visiting this website, because no cookies are set that would require your consent.
While we do not use cookies, our website does load a small number of resources directly from third-party servers in order to display certain content. These third parties may receive limited technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, simply as a result of your device requesting the resource — this is a normal part of how the internet works, rather than a cookie or tracking mechanism we control. We list these below for transparency.
We use Google Fonts to display text in a consistent style across the website. Depending on how the website is configured, font files may be loaded directly from Google’s servers. If so, Google may receive your IP address and details about your browser when the font is loaded. Google Fonts does not set cookies when used in this way. For more information, see Google’s own documentation on Google Fonts and privacy.
We use OpenStreetMap to display an interactive map showing our practice location. When the map loads, map image tiles are requested from OpenStreetMap’s servers (or an associated tile provider), which may receive your IP address and browser information as a normal part of loading the map. OpenStreetMap’s own privacy policy explains how they handle this information, and can be found at osmfoundation.org.
We do not use any tool, pixel, tag, or script that tracks your behaviour on this website, builds a profile of you, or follows you across other websites. We do not use Google Analytics or any similar service.
If we ever introduce cookies or similar technologies to this website in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and, where required by law, seek your consent before doing so.
