We collect and process personal data when you interact with our website, including:
- Information you provide via contact forms (name, email address, message content).
- Account information if you register for the OGA Academy (username, email address).
- Anonymous usage data collected through our analytics service (see below).
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how our website is used. Plausible is a privacy-friendly analytics service that:
- Does not use cookies.
- Does not collect personal data.
- Does not track individuals across websites.
- Processes all data in the EU.
Because Plausible does not use cookies or collect personal data, no consent is required under PECR or UK GDPR. All data collected is aggregate and anonymous — we can see how many people visited a page, but not who they are.
This website uses only strictly necessary cookies that are required for core functionality. These do not require consent under PECR.
| Cookie | Purpose | When Set |
|---|---|---|
| sessionid | Maintains your login session in the OGA Academy | When you log in |
| csrftoken | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | On form pages |
These cookies are deleted when you close your browser or after 8 hours of inactivity. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
If you register for the OGA Academy, we store your username, email address, quiz progress, and certificate records. This data is necessary to provide the e-learning service and issue certificates. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
We use collected data to:
- Provide and improve website functionality.
- Deliver the OGA Academy e-learning service.
- Monitor aggregate site performance and usage patterns.
- Respond to contact form enquiries.
- Ensure website security.
We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties, except where required by law.
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights over your personal data:
- Right to access your data.
- Right to rectification (correcting inaccurate data).
- Right to erasure (deletion of your data).
- Right to withdraw consent where consent was given.
- Right to object to data processing.
