1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how visitors use the site. Some cookies are essential for the website to work, while others help us improve your experience.
2. Cookies we use
We only use cookies that are necessary to run the nursery website and parent portal securely. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
Essential / Security cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They keep you signed in to the parent portal, maintain your session securely, and protect against security threats such as cross-site request forgery.

| sb-refresh-token | Securely refresh your login session | Session only |
| __Host-session | Maintains your signed-in state | Session only |
Preference cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as staying signed in) so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| remember-me | Remembers your login preference | Up to 30 days |
3. Third-party cookies
We do not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies. The only external service we rely on is our secure authentication and database provider, which sets the essential session cookies listed above. These are not used to track you across other websites.
4. How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that if you disable essential cookies, the parent portal will not work correctly and you will not be able to sign in.
5. Retention periods
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Preference cookies are stored for up to 30 days or until you sign out.
- Security tokens expire automatically after a short period and are refreshed securely in the background.
