How we use cookies

What this website stores on your device, why, and the choices you have.

Cookies are small text files, and similar technologies are small pieces of data, that a website stores on your computer or phone. This page explains what the SYSOP website stores and why. It was last updated on 23 September 2026.

Cookies that make the site work

wires. A temporary cookie set by the software that runs this website. It keeps our enquiry and booking forms secure and carries your booking from the form to the confirmation page. It is deleted when you close your browser. Most pages are served without it.

sysop_banner_dismissed. If you close the announcement bar at the top of the page, this cookie remembers that for 14 days so the bar does not come back on every page.

These are needed for the site to work or to remember a choice you have made, so the law does not require your consent for them.

Videos from other companies

Some pages include videos hosted by YouTube. These are not loaded until you select Load video. When you do, your browser connects to YouTube, which may store information on your device and collect information about your viewing in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.

Every embedded video also includes a link allowing you to watch it directly on YouTube.

If you select Remember my choice, we save that preference in your browser’s local storage for six months, so you are not asked again on each video. The preference remains on your device and is not sent to Sysop Limited. You can clear it below at any time.

Your choices

Videos you have allowed

Choices you asked us to remember are listed here with the date they expire. Press the button to forget them all.

YouTube videos (Google)
Needs JavaScript to show your choice

You have not asked us to remember any choices, so you will be asked before each video loads.

Your choices are stored only in this browser. If the button above does not work, clearing this site's data in your browser settings has the same effect.

Paying online

If you choose to pay for a course or membership online, you are taken to a secure payment page run by Stripe. Stripe sets its own cookies on that page for security and fraud prevention; see Stripe's cookie policy. Nothing from Stripe runs on our own pages.

What we do not do

We do not use analytics or advertising cookies, and we do not use social media tracking. If that ever changes we will update this page first, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent before anything is set.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the technical cookie above will stop the enquiry and booking forms from working. The ICO's guide to cookies explains how to manage them in the most common browsers.
