Cookie Policy
Last Updated: December 4, 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide a better user experience, as well as to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, TrustKit) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, advertising, and interactive content).
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management.
- Preference Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or theme) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to provide you with a more personalized experience and remember your preferences.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

5. How to Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by:
5.1 Cookie Banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject cookies. If you reject cookies, we will delete all non-essential cookies and only keep the essential cookies necessary for the website to function.
5.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may impact your overall user experience. Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Manage cookies in Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox: Manage cookies in Firefox
- Safari: Manage cookies in Safari
- Microsoft Edge: Manage cookies in Edge
6. What Happens When You Reject Cookies?
If you choose to reject cookies through our cookie banner:
- All non-essential cookies will be deleted immediately from your browser
- Your localStorage and sessionStorage will be cleared
- Only essential cookies required for the website to function will remain
- Your cookie preference (acceptance or rejection) will be stored for 365 days
- Some features of the website may not work as intended
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website, which will show the cookie banner again.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. At this time, there is no industry-wide standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals.
8. Cookies on Embedded Pages
TrustKit allows case studies to be embedded on third-party websites. When viewing embedded content, the same cookie policies apply. Embedded pages use the same essential cookies for functionality but operate in a sandboxed environment for security.
9. Session Storage and Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may use browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage and sessionStorage to store user preferences and temporary data. These storage mechanisms:
- Are stored locally in your browser
- Are not transmitted to our servers automatically
- Are cleared when you reject cookies through our banner
- Can be manually cleared through your browser settings
10. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
