COOKIE POLICY

ADC AI Mode

Last updated: 10 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Double D Agency Ltd, trading as ADC AI Mode (“ADC AI Mode”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar storage and access technologies on our website and online services.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small pieces of information that websites can store on, or access from, a user's device.

Cookies may perform functions such as:

keeping a user signed in;
remembering preferences;
maintaining a shopping basket;
protecting website security;
measuring website usage;
understanding how visitors interact with a website; and
supporting advertising or marketing technologies.

Cookies can remain on a device for different periods.

Some operate only during a browsing session, while others may remain for a defined period after the browser is closed.

2. OTHER STORAGE AND ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES

This Policy also applies, where relevant, to technologies other than traditional cookies that store information on or access information from your device.

These may include:

local storage;
tracking pixels;
tags;
scripts;
web beacons;
software development technologies;
device identifiers;
navigational tracking technologies; and
similar browser or device technologies.

We refer to these collectively as “cookies and similar technologies” in this Policy.

3. WHY ADC AI Mode USES THESE TECHNOLOGIES

Depending on the configuration of our website, ADC AI Mode may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

providing essential website functionality;
keeping customer accounts secure;
authenticating users;
remembering customer preferences;
supporting checkout and payment functionality;
maintaining course or membership sessions;
protecting against fraud and abuse;
measuring website performance;
understanding website usage;
improving our website;
remembering consent choices; and
supporting advertising or marketing where implemented and lawfully permitted.

The precise technologies used may change as our website and services develop.

4. STRICTLY NECESSARY TECHNOLOGIES

Some technologies are necessary for a service that you have requested or for essential technical operation.

These may include technologies required to:

keep you securely logged in;
maintain a shopping basket;
complete a checkout;
authenticate an account;
protect against security attacks or fraud;
maintain essential session information; and
remember certain necessary service states.

Where an applicable legal exception permits these technologies to be used without consent, they may operate automatically.

We will still provide appropriate information about them.

5. PREFERENCE AND FUNCTIONALITY TECHNOLOGIES

We may use technologies to remember choices you make about the appearance or functionality of our website.

Examples may include:

display preferences;
language settings;
accessibility preferences;
user-interface preferences; and
other settings you specifically choose.

Some such technologies may fall within an applicable legal exception where they are used solely to provide or remember a functionality or appearance preference requested by you.

Where an exception does not apply, we will request appropriate consent before using them.

6. ANALYTICS AND STATISTICAL TECHNOLOGIES

We may use analytics or statistical technologies to understand matters such as:

how many people visit our website;
which pages are used;
how visitors navigate through the website;
whether pages function correctly;
aggregated website performance; and
how our service can be improved.

Depending on how a particular analytics technology is configured and used, an applicable statutory exception may permit certain statistical technologies without prior consent.

Where the relevant legal requirements for an exception are not satisfied, we will request consent before deploying the technology.

We will not treat every analytics tool as automatically exempt merely because it provides statistics.

7. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES

ADC AI Mode may in the future use advertising or marketing technologies to:

measure advertising effectiveness;
attribute purchases or registrations to advertising campaigns;
create or use marketing audiences;
personalise advertising where permitted;
measure conversions; and
understand interactions with marketing campaigns.

Where consent is required, these technologies will not be activated before valid consent has been obtained.

Rejecting marketing technologies should not prevent you from accessing the core ADC AI Mode website or purchasing products, unless a particular technology is genuinely necessary for the service requested.

8. THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

Some website functionality may be supplied by independent technology providers.

Depending on our website configuration, these providers may include services relating to:

payment processing;
website hosting;
course delivery;
video embedding;
appointment booking;
analytics;
customer support;
advertising;
social-media integrations; and
fraud prevention.

Some embedded services may attempt to store or access information on your device.

ADC AI Mode will assess the technologies used and, where required, prevent non-essential technologies from operating until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Our cookie-management interface should identify relevant third parties where required.

9. OUR COOKIE CATEGORIES

Our cookie-management system organises technologies into the following categories:

Essential

Required for important website functionality and security.

These cannot normally be disabled through our consent interface where they are necessary to provide the service requested.

Functional / Preferences

Used to provide or remember optional website functionality or preferences.

Whether consent is required depends on the nature and purpose of the technology and any applicable legal exception.

Analytics

Used to measure and understand use of our website.

Some carefully configured statistical technologies may qualify for a legal exception, while others may require consent.

Marketing

Used for advertising, attribution, retargeting or similar marketing purposes.

Where consent is legally required, these technologies will remain disabled until consent is given.

10. HOW WE ASK FOR CONSENT

Where consent is required, we will provide clear information about the relevant purpose before asking you to make a choice.

We will not treat:

silence;
inactivity;
merely continuing to browse; or
acceptance of our Terms & Conditions

as valid consent to non-exempt cookies or similar technologies.

Where appropriate, our consent interface will allow you to:

accept relevant optional technologies;
reject relevant optional technologies; and
customise your choices.

Consent for cookies will be obtained separately from agreement to our commercial Terms & Conditions.

11. REJECTING OPTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

Where consent is required, you can refuse optional technologies.

Rejecting optional analytics or marketing technologies should not prevent access to essential ADC AI Mode website functionality.

Some optional features may work differently if you disable a technology that is genuinely required for that optional feature.

12. CHANGING YOUR CHOICES

You may change or withdraw your cookie preferences through the cookie-settings control made available on our website.

Withdrawing consent will apply to future use of technologies that relied upon that consent.

It does not retrospectively make earlier lawful processing unlawful.

Our website should make the cookie-settings control reasonably easy to find after the initial banner has been dismissed.

13. COOKIE PREFERENCE RECORDS

We may store information about your cookie choice so that:

we do not repeatedly ask you the same question;
your preferences can be respected; and
we can demonstrate consent where required.

A preference technology used solely for this purpose may itself be necessary for operating the consent system.

We will retain preference information only for an appropriate period.

14. SPECIFIC COOKIES AND TECHNOLOGIES

Current consent record: adc_cookie_preferences_v1 is essential local storage provided by ADC AI Mode. It remembers your cookie choices and the date of your decision until you clear it or we replace it with a new policy version.

At the date of this Policy, no optional functional, analytics or marketing technology is activated before the relevant consent choice. Any future optional script must remain blocked unless its category has been enabled.

The specific technologies in use should be shown through our cookie-management system or cookie table.

That information may include:

cookie or technology name;
provider;
purpose;
category;
duration; and
whether a third party is involved.

Because website technology changes, this list may be generated or maintained through our consent-management platform rather than repeated manually in this Policy.

We will keep the information reasonably up to date.

15. EMBEDDED CONTENT

Our website may contain embedded content such as:

videos;
booking tools;
payment interfaces;
social-media content; or
other third-party functionality.

An embedded provider may use cookies or similar technologies.

Where those technologies require consent, the relevant embedded feature may remain blocked or inactive until you have made the necessary choice.

16. PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Our checkout may use cookies or similar technologies from payment or fraud-prevention providers.

Some of these technologies may be necessary to:

process the payment requested by you;
secure transactions;
prevent payment fraud; or
authenticate payment activity.

Where an applicable exception does not cover a particular technology, the appropriate consent requirement will be followed.

17. ACCOUNT AND MEMBERSHIP TECHNOLOGIES

If you create an ADC AI Mode account or membership, technologies may be used to:

maintain your login;
verify your session;
remember essential account status;
protect your account; and
provide purchased course or membership access.

Technologies genuinely required to provide these requested functions may operate without optional cookie consent where applicable law permits.

18. HOW LONG TECHNOLOGIES LAST

Different technologies have different durations.

They may be:

Session technologies

Normally removed when your browser session ends.

Persistent technologies

Remain on your device for a specified period unless deleted earlier.

We will select retention periods that are appropriate for the purpose of each technology rather than retain information for longer than reasonably necessary.

The precise lifespan of individual technologies should be displayed in our cookie-management system where applicable.

19. BROWSER CONTROLS

Most browsers provide tools that allow users to delete or restrict cookies.

You may be able to:

delete existing cookies;
block certain cookies;
block third-party cookies;
clear stored information when closing the browser; or
use private-browsing functionality.

Browser restrictions may affect some website functions.

Our own cookie-preference interface should be used where you want to control consent choices specifically relating to ADC AI Mode.

20. CHANGES TO OUR TECHNOLOGIES

We may add, remove or change website technologies as ADC AI Mode develops.

If we introduce a new non-exempt purpose that is not covered by an existing valid consent, we will obtain new consent where required before using that technology for that purpose.

Our Cookie Policy and cookie-management information will be updated where appropriate.

21. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

changes in technology;
changes in law;
changes in guidance;
new website functionality; or
changes in the services we use.

The latest version will be displayed on our website with its revision date.
