Understand how and why we use cookies on the DigitalSummit website, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last Updated: January 15, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how EMANATIONS SEMINARS AND TEACHING LIMITED ("we," "us," or "our") uses them on the DigitalSummit website (https://digitalsummit.info), and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we employ and the data we collect through cookies.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides more detail about how we collect, use, and protect personal data. Our website promotes a free educational webinar series on sustainable freelancing and does not engage in commercial product sales or advertising-driven data collection.
By continuing to browse or use our website after the cookie consent banner is displayed, your choice (accept, decline, or adjust settings) determines which categories of cookies are active during your session and on subsequent visits.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve user experience, and to provide website operators with information about how visitors interact with their pages.
Cookies can be "session cookies," which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Cookies can also be categorized by who places them: "first-party cookies" are set by the website you are visiting, while "third-party cookies" are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information obtained from and stored in cookies. Cookies themselves cannot access, read, or modify any other data on your computer.
We use two categories of cookies on our website. We do not use any advertising, marketing, or retargeting cookies. Below is a detailed description of each category.
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without them, certain features would not function correctly. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use the site.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted, rejected, or settings) | 12 months | First-party, Persistent |
| session_id | Maintains your browsing session so that pages load correctly as you navigate | Session | First-party, Session |
| csrf_token | Protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session | First-party, Session |
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and user experience of our pages. Analytics cookies are only activated if you give your consent through our cookie banner.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated number | 13 months | Third-party, Persistent |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics 4: used to maintain session state and track page interactions | 13 months | Third-party, Persistent |
| _gid | Google Analytics: identifies unique visitors for the current day to aggregate daily usage data | 24 hours | Third-party, Persistent |
We want to be completely transparent about the types of tracking technologies we have chosen not to employ on this website. Our educational mission means we have no need for aggressive tracking or advertising-related data collection.
We do not place any advertising cookies on your device. No third-party ad networks or programmatic advertising platforms operate on this website.
We do not use retargeting or remarketing cookies. Your visit to this website will not result in targeted advertisements appearing on other websites or social media platforms.
We do not embed Facebook Pixel, Twitter Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar social media tracking technologies on any page of this website.
We do not engage in any cross-site tracking practices. Your browsing behavior on this website is not shared with or sold to external advertising networks or data brokers.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. This banner gives you three options:
Accept
Enables both essential and analytics cookies. This helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve the experience for future participants.
Settings
Allows you to choose which categories of non-essential cookies to enable or disable. Essential cookies remain active as they are required for the website to function.
Decline
Only essential cookies will be used. No analytics cookies will be activated, and no usage data will be collected through cookie-based tracking.
Your cookie preference is stored locally on your device and remembered for 12 months. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the website, which will trigger the consent banner again.
In addition to the choices provided by our cookie consent banner, you can manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from some or all websites. Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and other sites you visit.
Here is how to manage cookies in commonly used browsers:
If you use a different browser, consult the help section or documentation provided by your browser vendor for instructions on cookie management. You can also visit the website aboutcookies.org for general guidance on managing cookies across different browsers and devices.
In addition to cookies, our website uses your browser's local storage feature to remember your cookie consent preference. Local storage works similarly to persistent cookies but is stored differently in your browser. It does not expire automatically and remains until you clear your browser data or our website removes it.
We store only one item in local storage:
cookie_consent
Stores the value "accepted" or "rejected" to remember whether you consented to analytics cookies. This prevents the cookie banner from reappearing on every page visit.
When analytics cookies are enabled, data collected through Google Analytics is processed by Google LLC. Google processes this data on our behalf to provide aggregated reports about website traffic and visitor behavior. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses, which means your full IP address is not stored or accessible to us.
We do not share cookie data with any other third parties. We do not sell, rent, or trade information collected through cookies. The data obtained from analytics cookies is used solely to improve the user experience of this educational website.
Google's data processing practices are governed by their own privacy policy and terms of service. For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use their services, you can review Google's privacy documentation. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
For detailed information about how we handle personal data beyond cookies, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Our website and webinar series are designed for adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect data through cookies or any other means from children under the age of 16. If we become aware that data has been collected from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. If you believe a child under 16 has provided information through our website, please contact us at [email protected].
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
If we make significant changes to the types of cookies we use or the purposes for which we use them, we will notify you by displaying a new cookie consent banner so that you can review and update your preferences accordingly.
Material changes will take effect no sooner than 14 days after notification. Your continued use of the website after any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgment of those changes.
Our use of essential cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, and we do not require your consent to use them under ePrivacy regulations.
Our use of analytics cookies is based on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). Analytics cookies are only placed on your device after you have given explicit consent through our cookie banner. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and declining analytics cookies when the banner reappears.
This approach aligns with the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), and the EU ePrivacy Directive as applicable.
Under data protection legislation, you have the following rights with respect to the data collected through cookies:
