Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how MumGuardian (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and platform.

Cookies help us ensure the website works securely and efficiently. We use a privacy-first approach and limit cookie usage to what is strictly necessary.

Important:

• ➡️ We do not use cookies to track children.
• ➡️ No cookies are used for behavioural profiling, advertising, or marketing to children.

This policy applies to users worldwide.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as login status or preferences.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
• Persistent cookies (stored for a defined period)
• First-party cookies (set by MumGuardian)
• Third-party cookies (set by external services, where applicable)

We use cookies only where necessary and for the following limited purposes:

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They are used for:

• Secure login and authentication (Parents, Schools)
• Session management
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and performance stability

➡️ No consent is required for these cookies under GDPR and similar laws.

b) Analytics Cookies (Always Only – Optional)

Where enabled, we may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how users interact with our website (e.g. which pages are visited most).

• These cookies are never used for children
• Data is aggregated and anonymised
• No profiling or cross-site tracking
• Enabled only after consent, where required by law

Users may decline analytics cookies without affecting core functionality.

c) Cookies We Do NOT Use

To protect users—especially children—we do not use:

• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Behavioural or interest-based tracking

MumGuardian is designed to be safe for children by default.

• Children’s access does not include analytics or tracking cookies

• No behavioural data is recorded
• No third-party trackers are loaded during child use

This approach supports compliance with:

Some limited third-party services may set cookies only for users, such as:

• Secure payment providers (e.g. Stripe)
• Essential infrastructure services (e.g. hosting, security)

These providers are contractually required to:

• Comply with data protection laws
• Use cookies only for their intended technical purpose
• Protect user data

Third-party cookies are never used for child access.

Depending on your location, you may see a cookie consent banner allowing you to:

• Accept optional cookies
• Reject non-essential cookies
• Change preferences later

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:
