Cookies are files stored in your browser and are used by most websites to help personalise your web experience.
None of our cookies contain any personally identifiable information. Some features on this site will not function if you do not allow cookies.

Given that many of these cookies come from third party sources, we cannot control exactly which cookies are used.
"Functionality" cookies
These types of cookies allow for specific functionality, such as remembering choices you made in a form submission so you don't have to re-enter the same information when using the form again, or for restarting a video from the same place you stopped it on a prior page view. Currently we do not use any functionality cookies directly on buckscollegegroup.ac.uk, though some third parties such as X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, TikTok etc. may save these kinds of cookies on your computer depending on your browser settings. Use of our website indicates your consent for third parties to add these cookies.
"Targeting/Advertising" cookies
These types of cookies are typically used to show you more relevant adverts based on your activity. We do not currently employ these types of cookies on buckscollegegroup.ac.uk.
