Privacy Policy (EU)
Last updated: 4 June 2026. This Privacy Policy (Cookie Policy) applies to citizens and lawful permanent residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
1. Introduction
This website, https://beyond-business-school.com (the "website"), uses cookies and similar technologies. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" throughout this policy. Some cookies are placed by us, and others are placed by third-party services we rely on. Below we explain what cookies are used, why, and how you can control them.
Our website is hosted on Squarespace. Squarespace acts as our website platform and processes some information on our behalf. You can read how Squarespace handles this data in its privacy policy and its overview of the cookies it uses.
2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your computer, phone or other device. When you return to the site, the information in that file can be sent back to us or to the relevant third party, which helps the site remember things about your visit.
3. What is a script?
A script is a small piece of code that allows our website to work correctly and to respond to what you do on the page. Scripts run either on our servers or directly within your browser.
4. What is a web beacon?
A web beacon (sometimes called a pixel tag) is a tiny, invisible image or snippet of code placed in a page or email. It is mainly used to measure how visitors use a site or whether an email has been opened.
5. Categories of cookies we use
5.1 Required and functional cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to work and to keep your preferences during your visit — for example, securing forms, remembering whether you have accepted cookies, and keeping commerce features working. Because they are essential, they are placed without requiring your consent.
5.2 Analytics and performance cookies
We use these cookies to understand how visitors find and use the website, so we can improve it. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we ask for your consent before placing them.
5.3 Marketing cookies
