Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Midnight Mango Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites, including midnightmango.co.uk and learn.midnightmango.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They let a site recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. We use “cookies” in this policy as shorthand for cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, which work in comparable ways.
The rules that apply
Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, together with the UK GDPR where cookies involve personal data. In summary:
- Strictly necessary cookies — those essential to provide a service you have asked for — do not require your consent.
- Analytics and certain low-risk cookies — following changes that took effect on 5 February 2026, cookies used solely to gather aggregate statistics about how our site is used, or to remember display preferences, may be used without your prior consent, provided we tell you about them clearly and give you an easy, free way to opt out.
- Advertising and targeting cookies — including any cookie that shares data with third parties for advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking — require your prior, opt-in consent.
Advertising and other consent-based cookies are not placed until you have given your consent through our cookie banner.
Your choices
When you first visit our site, our cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by reopening your cookie settings using the link in our website footer. Where we rely on the analytics exemption, you can opt out using the same settings. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser, though blocking some cookies may stop parts of the site working.

Learning Platform Cookies
Our learning platform at learn.midnightmango.co.uk is powered by WordPress and LearnPress. Additional cookies may be used when users log in to access courses, track progress, maintain sessions and manage learning activities. These cookies are generally only set for registered users of the learning platform and are required for the platform to function correctly.
Third-party cookies and data sharing
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us. Where advertising or targeting cookies are used — for example the Meta (Facebook) pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or Google advertising cookies — information about your visit may be shared with those providers, who may use it for their own purposes such as advertising and measurement. We only set these cookies where you have given your consent. To understand how these providers handle your data, please see their own privacy and cookie notices.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored and delete or block them, either individually or by category. You can usually find these controls in your browser’s settings or privacy menu. If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our sites may not function properly.
Changes to this policy
We review and update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes and as guidance and law develop — including any further guidance the Information Commissioner’s Office issues on the new cookie rules. Please check this page from time to time for any changes.
