Other cookies set by Third Party sites
To support our website and services, we sometimes embed photos and video content from other websites. As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or X, you may be presented with cookies from these websites. UTC Sheffield does not control the dissemination of these cookies. You should check the relevant third party website for more information about these.
Where possible we will use privacy-enhanced embedded content that does not track your information until you interact with it, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Privacy policies of other websites
Our websites contain links to other websites, including those of our employer partners and external services used for booking events. Our privacy policy applies only to our websites, so if you click on a link to another website, you should read their privacy policy.
How to control and delete cookies
The “Do Not Track” setting
“Do Not Track” is a privacy feature built into most web browsers. When you enable it, it asks the websites you visit not to collect or track your web browsing data. Our cookie consent system respects this setting, so by turning it on you deny all non-functional cookies by default.
A guide to enabling “Do Not Track” in many popular browsers can be found here: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-to-enable-do-not-track-in-any-web-browser/
Google Analytics
Users of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge can install an extension to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites while allowing other cookies. For more information visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
