In the event that we cancel your purchased webinar or event, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you by email or telephone to let you know. We will refund you the full amount via our third party payment provider to the payment method provided upon booking.

Our Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve our site. Cookies have lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. Most websites you visit use cookies to improve your user experience by allowing the website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).
We use the following types of cookies:
Strictly Necessary cookies: these are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our Website won’t work properly without them. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
Analytical or performance cookies: these allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Targeting Cookies: these cookies record your visit to our Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Website and any advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
We use Google Analytics to provide us with information about how our Website is being used. For example, it tells us the number of visitors the site receives every day, where they have come from, what content they read as well and how long they spend on the site.
This data helps us to understand use of our site and how to ensure it is relevant for our audience. Google Analytics only provides aggregated data and does not collect personal information – so we can’t tell which individuals have visited the site or how they have used it.
