1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the website remember things — like whether you are logged in — so you don't have to start fresh every time.
Cookies are completely normal and used by virtually every website. They cannot run programs or install software on your device.
2. Cookies We Use
MomSoft Learning uses essential cookies only. These are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off.
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| msl_session | Essential | Keeps you logged in while you use the website. Without this cookie you would need to log in every time you change page. | Until browser is closed (session) |
| msl_auth | Essential | Stores a secure token confirming your account is authenticated. Required for the parent dashboard and protected content. | 7 days (if "Remember me" is selected) |
| msl_age_pref | Essential | Remembers the age group you selected on the home page so it is pre-selected on your next visit. | 30 days |
3. Cookies We Do NOT Use
- Advertising cookies — we do not serve ads and never will
- Social media tracking pixels — no Facebook, Google, or TikTok tracking
- Third-party analytics cookies — we do not use Google Analytics or similar tools that track users across websites
- Profiling or behavioural cookies — we do not build profiles of children or parents for marketing purposes
4. Cookie Consent
Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), essential cookies do not require consent — they are necessary for the website to work. We do not use any non-essential cookies, so a cookie consent banner is not required.
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent through a clear banner before placing those cookies.
5. Managing & Deleting Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that deleting essential cookies will log you out of your account. Here is how to manage cookies in common browsers:
6. Third-Party Services
MomSoft Learning is hosted on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft may set infrastructure-level cookies necessary for secure delivery of the service. These are governed by Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
Our Google Fonts (the typefaces used on the website) are loaded from Google's servers. Google may log your IP address as part of this request. You can read Google's Privacy Policy for details.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date. If we add non-essential cookies, we will request your consent first.
