Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Cresthill Academy ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at cresthillacademy.com. We want you to understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are essential for many website features to work properly.
Some cookies are temporary ("session cookies") and are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a set period of time ("persistent cookies") and are activated each time you revisit the site.
2. Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies on our website into three groups:
a. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without them, certain features — like page navigation, secure form submissions, and session management — would not work. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.
| Cookie / Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| WordPress session cookies | Manage your browsing session, keep the site functioning, and remember form submissions. |
| Elementor functionality cookies | Ensure that page layouts, widgets, and interactive elements display and operate correctly. |
b. Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate the site. This information helps us improve the website experience for all families.
| Cookie / Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google Tag Manager (GTM-MZB3LGT) | Manages and deploys analytics and marketing tags. Does not directly collect personal data itself but enables the tools listed here. |
| Google Analytics (via GTM) | Collects anonymized data about website usage, including page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user behavior patterns. |
c. Marketing & Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They track your visit to our website and, in some cases, your activity across other websites.
| Cookie / Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Facebook Pixel (ID: 2531106043642965) | Tracks conversions from Facebook and Instagram ads, builds targeted audiences for future ads, and enables remarketing to people who have visited our website. |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services rather than by Cresthill Academy directly. These include:
- Google — Google may set cookies through Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to help us measure website performance. Google's privacy practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram) — Meta may set cookies through the Facebook Pixel to help us measure advertising performance and deliver relevant ads. Meta's privacy practices are governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.
We do not control how these third parties use their cookies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand their data practices.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings or preferences menu. You can typically find these options under "Privacy," "Security," or "Cookies" in your browser's settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how our website functions.
- Google opt-out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
- Facebook opt-out: You can manage your Facebook ad preferences through your Facebook Ad Settings.
- Industry opt-out tools: You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be updated when changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
