Take a look at our other important Policies, Terms & Conditions as well as Disclaimer below
Effective Date: 12 May 2026
Last Updated: April 2026
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit our website. They help the website function correctly, provide a better user experience, and help us understand how visitors interact with our content.
At Shumba Guru, we use cookies to:
Manage Bookings: Ensure your coaching session selection stays in your “cart” as you navigate the site.
Process Payments: Securely handle transactions through providers like Stripe.
Understand Our Audience: See which coaching topics or blog posts are most helpful to our community.
Security: Protect our site and your data from malicious activity.
We categorise our cookies into four groups. Under UK law (PECR/UK GDPR), some require your consent, while others (Strictly Necessary) do not.
These are essential for the website to work. You cannot turn these off as the site would break.
Example: __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid (used by Stripe to prevent fraud during your booking payment).
Example: _calendly_session (used to hold your booking slot while you fill in your details).
These remember your preferences (like your username or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
Example: Remembering that you have already seen our newsletter pop-up so we don’t show it to you every time.
These help us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.
Example: _ga (Google Analytics). We use these to see which spiritual coaching services are most popular.
Note: Under the 2025 Data Act, we may use basic first-party analytics for statistical purposes without explicit consent, provided they are low-risk and don’t profile you personally.
These may be set through our site by advertising partners (like Meta or Google) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. These are strictly opt-in.
When you first visit our site, a Cookie Banner will appear. You can:
Accept All: Allow all cookies.
Reject All: Block all except “Strictly Necessary” cookies.
Manage Settings: Choose exactly which categories you are comfortable with.
You can also change your browser settings to delete or block cookies. For more information, visit www.aboutcookies.org.
If you have questions about this policy, please contact connect@shumbaguru.co.uk.
As of June 2026, you have a formal right to complain about data handling. If we do not resolve your concern, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, serve personalised ads or content, and analyse our traffic. By clicking "Accept All", you consent to our use of cookies. Cookie Policy
