You acknowledge that your use of the Website and Services is at your sole risk. We do not warrant that your use of the Service is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and specifically disclaim such warranties. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimer may not apply to you to the extent such jurisdiction’s law is applicable to you and these Terms of Use.

Although it is our intention for the Website to be available as much as possible, there may be occasions when the service may be interrupted, including, without limitation, for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and/or equipment.

We only supply this Website personal use. You agree not to use the Website for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

These Terms of Use, its subject matter and its formation, are governed by English law. The courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms of Use, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

These Terms of Use were written in English (UK). To the extent any translated version of these Terms of Use conflicts with the English version, the English version controls. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms of Use. You may only transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use to another person if we agree in writing.

We will confirm receipt of this by contacting you in writing, normally by email. If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by email or by pre- paid post to the address you provide to us.


Summary

Please take the time to read our cookie policy, once you understand it, and are happy with it you can choose to accept it.

Full policy

Land Based Learning Ltd respects the privacy of visitors to our website and wants to protect any personal information that you give to us. 

This statement is made in order to comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and to tell you how Land Based Learning Ltd will use any personal information that you give to us. 

How we collect information 

We receive personal information about you when you register with us to become a member, subscribe to our newsletter, complete a survey, take part in an event, submit an enquiry or give us personal information in any other way. 

What information we collect 

To provide you with a satisfying experience while you browse and to help improve our websites, we use cookies. Cookies are small text markers stored on your computer that enable us to understand how people use our website. No personally identifiable information is stored on the cookies. In common with many similar websites, we use them to help remember preferences and for statistical measurements - for example, so we know how many visitors a page has had. Cookies can't harm your computer.


We use cookies to:

remember certain information about users so they don’t have to repeatedly give the same information

recognise if users are already logged in to certain areas of the website

measure how people use our website so we can continually improve how information is provided.

You can find out more about how to control cookies on the Information Commissioner's Office website.


Your Consent

Cookies may be set by us or third parties. By continuing to browse our site you’re agreeing to our use of cookies.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies are important to make our website work and help us improve it, which helps us realise our vision of a better future for people and planet.

These are the main reasons we use cookies on this website:

1. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

This is a service we use from Google that collects information about how people use our website. We use this to make sure we are providing the best service we can to our web visitors.

Using cookies, Google Analytics stores information about:

what pages you visit

how long you stay on the page

how you came to the site

what things you click on

Although we collect this information, we do not collect any personal information - so we don’t know what your name is or where you live. And the information we collect cannot be used to identify you.


2. Web Content Management System

The content management systems we use to build the website and update the pages also collect information about how many times a page has been visited and how many times a file is downloaded (things like the PDFs of our research reports and briefings).


3. Third-party cookies

Our pages may have a "Share this" function that allows you to share content with your friends or colleagues via email, Twitter, Facebook etc. We use cookies to make this service work. It tells us what items a person has shared, how many people are sharing and how many page visits we have received as a result of the sharing. Again we do not collect anything that personally identifies you.


4. Cookies that are set by other websites

If you are using the sharing facility already mentioned (i.e. Share content with Facebook, Twitter) then it is possible those websites (i.e. Facebook) may also set a cookie when you are also logged in to their service. Land Based Learning Ltd does not control these type of cookies.

Occasionally we embed things like video, audio and pictures from other websites such as such as YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr or Soundcloud. This means it looks like one of our webpages but the video is being fed through from another site (ie YouTube). This means that every time you visit one of our pages with this sort of embedded content, those other sites may use their own cookies to record that you watched or viewed the content. Land Based Learning Ltd has no control over these cookies so you should check the relevant website for more information.

How to control cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish or delete cookies installed by the site - for more details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. To do so you should modify your browser settings - click on the help section of your Internet browser and follow the instructions. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit the site and some services and functionalities may not work.
