This Cookie Notice explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on shaazford.com and our subdomains (blog, academy, clientportal), what they do, and how you can manage them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to measure how a site is used.
2. Cookies we use
Essential
Examples: session cookies, security tokens. They keep the site running and secure, and remember your cookie consent choice. Required. The site does not function without them.
Analytics
Examples: Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*). They anonymously measure how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Not required, opt-in.
Marketing
Examples: Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel (if enabled). They measure ad performance and show relevant ads on other platforms. Not required, opt-in.
Functional
Examples: Calendly, Stripe Checkout. They enable scheduling and secure payment flows when you choose to use them. Not required, set only when you initiate the action.
3. How to manage cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Our cookie banner. The banner that appears on your first visit lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the footer.
- Browser settings. Every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave) lets you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies you have already accepted.
- Opt-out tools. For Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For interest-based ads on participating networks: optout.aboutads.info.
Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site (forms, payment flow, your cookie preference itself).
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry standard for how sites should respond. We honor your choice expressed through our cookie banner, which is more granular than DNT.
5. Changes to this notice
We update this notice whenever we add, remove, or change the cookies we use. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest version.
