2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can help a website:

  • Work correctly and securely;

  • Remember choices and preferences;

  • Keep members signed in;

  • Process bookings and payments;

  • Provide access to membership content;

  • Understand how visitors use the website;

  • Display embedded content; and

  • Measure the performance of communications or advertising.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, device identifiers and other methods of storing or accessing information on a device. References to cookies in this Policy include these technologies where applicable.

3. How MONTY Uses Cookies

The MONTY website is built and hosted through Wix.

Cookies may be used to support:

  • Website security;

  • Member registration and login;

  • Online memberships and pricing plans;

  • Access to the member area and programme library;

  • Online bookings and appointments;

  • Website forms and enquiries;

  • Checkout and payment processing;

  • Remembering cookie preferences;

  • Website performance and analytics;

  • Embedded video, audio or social-media content; and

  • Marketing measurement where permission has been provided.

The precise cookies used may change as Wix, MONTY’s website features and connected services are updated.

4. Who May Place Cookies?

Cookies may be placed by:

  • MONTY or Wix as part of operating the website; or

  • Third-party providers whose services, applications or content are connected to the website.

These third parties may include:

  • Payment processors;

  • Booking and form providers;

  • Video and audio platforms;

  • Social-media services;

  • Analytics providers;

  • Marketing services; and

  • Other technology providers used to operate MONTY’s website and online services.

5. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website and its core services to function.

They may support:

  • Website and account security;

  • Fraud prevention;

  • Member registration and login;

  • Maintaining a secure session;

  • Remembering privacy and cookie choices;

  • Bookings and forms;

  • Checkout and payment processing;

  • Access to purchased membership content; and

  • Reliable website operation.

These cookies do not normally require consent because they are necessary to provide the website or a service you have requested.

Blocking essential cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the website from working correctly. This may affect member login, bookings, forms, checkout, payments or access to purchased content.

6. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support optional website features and remember choices you make.

They may be used to:

  • Remember website preferences;

  • Save display or language choices;

  • Support embedded features;

  • Remember previous interactions; and

  • Provide a more personalised website experience.

Where consent is required, functional cookies will be used only after you approve them.

If you decline functional cookies, the website’s essential features should remain available, but some optional features may not work as intended.

7. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help MONTY understand how visitors use the website.

They may collect information such as:

  • Pages visited;

  • Time spent on pages;

  • Links or buttons used;

  • How visitors move through the website;

  • Device and browser type;

  • Approximate location based on technical information;

  • Referral source; and

  • Website errors or performance information.

This helps MONTY improve the website, navigation, content and services.

Analytics cookies will be used only where the required consent has been provided.

MONTY generally reviews analytics in combined or statistical form rather than using them to make decisions about an individual visitor.

8. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to:

  • Understand whether a campaign led to a visit or purchase;

  • Measure advertising performance;

  • Limit how often an advertisement is shown;

  • Understand engagement with promotional content; and

  • Support advertising on other platforms.

Marketing cookies are not essential and will be used only where you have provided consent.

MONTY does not use health information collected through participation or consultation forms for targeted advertising.

9. Member Accounts, Memberships and Online Programmes

Essential cookies may be required when you:

  • Create a site-member account;

  • Sign in or sign out;

  • Purchase or manage a membership;

  • Access restricted member pages;

  • View the MONTY programme library;

  • Take part in an online programme;

  • Access recordings, resources or replays; or

  • Update your account information.

These cookies allow Wix and MONTY to recognise that you are an authorised member and provide the content included in your plan.

Disabling essential account cookies may sign you out or prevent you from accessing membership content.

10. Bookings, Forms, Checkout and Payments

Cookies may be used when you:

  • Book a class, workshop, event or appointment;

  • Purchase a membership, pass or package;

  • Complete a website form;

  • Move between checkout stages;

  • Choose a payment option; or

  • Receive confirmation of a purchase.

Payment providers may place essential cookies to securely process transactions, prevent fraud and meet legal or security requirements.

MONTY does not normally receive or store your complete payment-card details.

11. Embedded Videos and Audio

The website or member area may contain content hosted by third-party providers, including:

  • YouTube;

  • Spotify;

  • Video-hosting platforms;

  • Audio players;

  • Livestream platforms;

  • Video-conferencing services; and

  • Other media providers.

These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or played.

Where required, non-essential embedded content may remain blocked until you approve the relevant cookie category.

When you interact with embedded content, the provider may receive information about your device, browser, IP address and interaction with the content. Its own privacy and cookie policies will apply.

12. Social Media and WhatsApp

The website may contain links, buttons or embedded content connected to services such as:

  • Instagram;

  • WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business;

  • YouTube;

  • Spotify; and

  • Other social-media or communication platforms.

A standard external link to WhatsApp or another platform does not necessarily place that platform’s cookies on the MONTY website. However, embedded feeds, buttons, tracking features or other integrations may use cookies or similar technologies.

When you click an external link and leave the MONTY website, the third-party platform may collect information and use cookies under its own privacy and cookie policies.

WhatsApp may also be used to provide membership updates, community information, resources or links. The use of personal information through WhatsApp is explained further in the MONTY Privacy Notice.

13. External Websites and Resources

MONTY may share links to external articles, research, podcasts, videos, organisations, products or other resources.

MONTY takes reasonable care when selecting external resources and aims to share sources considered credible and relevant at the time.

However, MONTY does not control third-party websites, their cookies, their continuing accuracy or their privacy practices.

When you follow an external link, the third party’s own cookie and privacy policies will apply.

The inclusion of a link does not mean that MONTY endorses every statement, product or service provided by that third party.

14. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit the MONTY website, the cookie banner allows you to make choices about non-essential cookies.

Depending on the available settings, you may be able to:

  • Accept all cookies;

  • Reject non-essential cookies;

  • Select individual cookie categories; or

  • Save customised preferences.

Non-essential cookies will not be used before the required consent has been provided.

Consent must be given through a clear, positive choice. Simply continuing to browse the website will not be treated as consent to non-essential cookies.

15. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link or privacy control available on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before consent was withdrawn.

Your preferences may need to be selected again if:

  • You use another browser or device;

  • You clear your cookies;

  • The consent record expires; or

  • MONTY makes a material change to its cookie setup.

16. Rejecting Non-Essential Cookies

Rejecting non-essential cookies will not normally prevent you from using the main website.

However, it may affect:

  • Website analytics;

  • Embedded videos or audio;

  • Social-media feeds;

  • Personalised features;

  • Marketing measurement; and

  • Some third-party functions.

Essential cookies may still be used because they are necessary for the website, account, booking, checkout or another service you have requested.

17. Browser Settings

You can also control, block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Browser controls vary depending on the browser and device used.

Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the MONTY website from operating correctly, including:

  • Member login;

  • Online-programme access;

  • Bookings;

  • Forms;

  • Checkout;

  • Payment processing; and

  • Saved cookie preferences.

Browser settings may need to be managed separately on each device you use.

18. Current Cookie Details

The exact names, providers, purposes and durations of cookies may change as Wix and connected services are updated.

The detailed cookie list available through the website’s cookie banner or Cookie Settings panel should be treated as the most current technical record of cookies detected on the website.

MONTY will review its cookie configuration where reasonably necessary, particularly when adding new:

  • Wix applications;

  • Embedded content;

  • Analytics tools;

  • Marketing tools;

  • Payment services; or

  • Third-party integrations.

19. How Long Cookies Remain

Some cookies last only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close the browser.

Other cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.

The duration depends on:

  • The purpose of the cookie;

  • Wix’s settings;

  • The relevant third-party provider; and

  • Your browser or device settings.

Available duration information can be viewed through the detailed cookie information provided in the website’s cookie controls.

20. International Processing

Some cookie, platform and technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, the relevant provider should use an appropriate legal safeguard.

Further information about international transfers is available in the MONTY Privacy Notice and the privacy information of the relevant provider.

21. Changes to This Cookie Policy

MONTY may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

  • Changes to the website;

  • New Wix applications or features;

  • New third-party services;

  • Changes to analytics or marketing tools;

  • Changes to cookie practices; or

  • Changes to legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on the MONTY website with the updated date.

Where a material change affects existing cookie choices, visitors may be asked to choose their preferences again.
