When you leave a comment on our site, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience so that you do not need to fill in these details again for future comments. These cookies remain valid for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set up to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will establish cookies to save your login details and your screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies remain for a year. By selecting “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Once you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
Content Editing
When editing or publishing content, an additional cookie containing the article’s post ID will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal information and expires after 24 hours.
Embedded Content from External Websites
Some articles on our site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites functions precisely as if the visitor were on an external site. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into those third-party websites.
How We Share Your Data
Your privacy is important to us, and we do not sell or rent your data to third parties. However, we may share information under the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party providers who assist us in running our website and business operations. These partners are required to keep your information confidential.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to legal processes, or protect the safety, rights, or property of Oxford Early Learning Centre or others.
Data Retention
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us approve future comments automatically rather than holding them in moderation.
- User Profiles: For users who register on our website, we retain the personal information provided in their profiles. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their data at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You also have the right to request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obligated to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Spam Detection and Third-Party Services
