Cookie policy
Last updated: 25 October 2026
1. What this policy covers
This policy explains how futurefounders.uk, run by FFounders Group Limited (trading as Future Founders), stores and reads information on your device.
Most people call these "cookies". The law covers any technology that stores or reads information on your phone, tablet or computer, including cookies, local storage, tracking pixels, scripts and tags. In this policy, "cookies" means all of them.
We follow the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the UK GDPR. Where cookies involve personal data, our privacy policy also applies.
2. The short version
We use only the few cookies this site needs to work and stay secure. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not follow you around the web.
The law does not require us to ask for your consent to cookies that are strictly necessary. That is why you will not see a cookie banner on this site.
Types of cookies, and which we use
| Type | What it does | Do we use it? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Makes the site work and keeps it secure: loading pages, sending forms, booking and paying. Without these, services you ask for cannot be provided | Yes, only these |
| Preferences | Remembers choices such as text size or a dark or light display | No |
| Analytics or performance | Measures how visitors use the site, such as pages visited and time spent | No |
| Targeting or advertising | Records your visits and the links you follow to show you adverts, here or on other websites | No |
| Social media | Lets social networks track you through share buttons, pixels or embedded posts | No |
3. What we use
Every cookie below is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for, such as loading the page securely or sending a form.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| [from site scan] | Our hosting provider | Keeps the site secure and spreads traffic across servers so pages load | [from scan, usually the session] |
| [from site scan] | This site | Protects forms from spam and fake submissions | [from scan] |
| [from site scan] | This site | Remembers your answers as you move through the Start here questions | Until you close your browser |
| [from site scan] | Our booking provider | Makes the booking calendar work, only once you open it | [from scan] |
| [from site scan] | Our payment provider | Takes payment securely and prevents fraud, only when you pay | [from scan] |
"Session" means the cookie is deleted when you close your browser.
4. What we do not use
- Analytics or statistics tools that track your visit
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media pixels or "like" and "share" buttons that track you
- Device fingerprinting, or any way of recognising you across websites or devices
- Cookies that sell or share your information with anyone
5. Booking, payment and other services
When you book a call or a course, pay, or join an online session, you may use a service run by one of our providers. Their cookies load only when you choose to use that service, and only for that service to work.
Some of these services open on the provider's own website. When they do, the provider's own cookie and privacy policies apply, and we encourage you to read them.
Providers whose cookies may be set on this site
| Provider | What for | Their policies |
|---|---|---|
| [Hosting provider] | Running and securing the site | [link to their privacy and cookie policy] |
| [Booking provider] | Booking calls, courses and course sessions | [link] |
| [Payment provider] | Taking payment and preventing fraud | [link] |
| [Online meeting or learning tool] | Live sessions and course materials | [link] |
International transfers. Some of these providers are based outside the UK, for example in the United States. Where their cookies involve personal data that leaves the UK, it is protected by a recognised safeguard: a UK adequacy decision such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum. Our privacy policy explains more.
6. If this changes
If we ever want to understand how the site is used, we will choose the least intrusive option and update this page before it goes live.
- Simple visitor statistics: the law allows these without consent only in narrow cases. The data must be used just to improve this site, must not identify you, and must not be shared for advertising or profiling. If we use this, we will explain it here and give you a simple, free way to turn it off.
- Anything else, such as advertising or social media cookies: we will ask for your permission first, with "Accept" and "Reject" given equal weight, and nothing will be set until you choose. You will be able to change your mind at any time.
If we ever ask for consent, a "Cookie settings" link will appear in the footer of every page, so you can change or withdraw your choice as easily as you gave it.
7. How to control cookies
You can see, block and delete cookies in your browser settings. Each browser explains how:
If you use more than one device or browser, change the settings on each.
If you block the strictly necessary cookies, parts of this site, such as the forms, booking or payment, may not work.
8. Contact, complaints and changes
For any question about cookies, email privacy@futurefounders.uk. If you are unhappy, you can complain to us, and you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
To find out more about cookies and how to manage them, see the ICO's guidance for the public at ico.org.uk, or All About Cookies.
We review this policy whenever the site changes, and at least once a year. We change the "last updated" date at the top each time.
