Cookie policy
The short version
- We use cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your choices. These are strictly necessary, so they don’t need your consent.
- We remember your theme and one community setting. You can object at any time in Cookie settings, and we’ll delete them.
- Only if you agree, we remember which post or link brought you here for 30 days, to see whether it led to a plan purchase. It is off unless you turn it on.
- We don’t use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, third-party analytics or device fingerprinting.
- We count visits without any cookies or storage on your device.

Measurement: linking a post to a purchase
We share posts and links (for example on LinkedIn) with a tag in the address saying which post it is. When you arrive from one, we ask whether we may remember that tag. If you accept:
- a cookie on learn.pyxion.uk holds the post’s name, where it was shared, the page you arrived on and the date, for 30 days;
- if you then ask for a plan through our access form, that information is sent with your request;
- if you buy the plan, we keep it with your plan record.
We use it only to see which posts and links lead to plan requests and purchases, and we look at it as totals per post. We don’t share it with LinkedIn or anyone else, and we don’t use it for advertising.
Our lawful basis is your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time in Cookie settings: we delete the cookie straight away. Information already sent with a plan request is kept with that request: 2 years, or 6 years where it is part of an invoice record. Ask us and we’ll remove the campaign information from your records.
If you reject, or don’t choose, nothing is stored. Your visit still counts in our anonymous totals.
How we count visits without cookies
When a page loads, our server adds one to a count for that day and page, and notes which website sent you (for example linkedin.com) and whether the visitor is a person, a search engine or an AI assistant. Nothing is stored on your device, and we don’t keep your IP address or any identifier. To stop one browser inflating the counts, a scrambled version of your IP address is held in memory for at most a day and never written down.
Content from other services
Our maps show images from OpenStreetMap’s tile servers. Your browser fetches them directly, so those servers receive your IP address; we don’t use them to track you. Our fonts are stored on our own servers.
