3. How We Use Cookies
We categorize cookies into three groups. When you first visit our website, a consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences through Cookie Settings.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our consent tool. They do not require consent under GDPR because they are strictly necessary for providing a service you have requested.
- Consent storage (tdde_cookie_consent): Stores your cookie preference choices in local storage. Duration: 12 months. Purpose: Remember your consent decisions so we do not ask repeatedly.
- Security cookies: Help protect against cross-site request forgery and maintain session integrity. Duration: Session. Purpose: Website security.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregate form. They are only activated with your explicit consent.
- Page view tracking: Records which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and navigation paths. Purpose: Improve content quality and site structure.
- Performance monitoring: Measures page load times and technical performance. Purpose: Identify and resolve technical issues.
- Referral source tracking: Identifies how visitors arrived at our site. Purpose: Understand which informational channels are most effective.
Analytics data is retained in aggregated form for up to 26 months. Individual user profiles are not created for marketing purposes from analytics data alone.
3.3 Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver communications relevant to our educational programs and consulting services. They are only activated with your explicit consent.
- Communication preferences: Remember your interest areas to provide relevant follow-up information if you have opted in. Duration: 12 months.

10. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website honors the cookie preferences you set through our consent mechanism as the primary method for controlling tracking.
11. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use, add new services, or when legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made. We encourage periodic review of this policy.
