What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when a website loads. They can keep a website secure, remember preferences and, with permission, help a website understand how people use it.
How we use cookies
Alma Forest School uses one necessary first-party cookie, alma_consent, to remember your privacy choices. Analytics, marketing measurement and external media are optional and remain disabled until you grant the relevant permission.
