Cookie Policy

This page explains how Cascade Pivot uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what choices you have, and how to manage your preferences. Last updated: May 2025.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things like your preferences and usage patterns across visits. Some cookies are essential for the website to function; others are optional and used for analytics, personalization, or advertising purposes.

You can choose whether to accept optional cookies. Declining them will not prevent you from using the site, though some personalization features may be limited.

Cookies we use

Functionality Storage

Essential

Stores data necessary for the website to operate correctly — such as session state, navigation preferences, and basic site features. These cannot be turned off.

Security Storage

Essential

Stores data used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect the security of the site, and keep users safe. These cannot be turned off.

Analytics Storage

Collects anonymized data about how visitors use this website — pages visited, time spent, and general navigation patterns. This helps us understand how the site is performing and where it can be improved.

Personalization Storage

Remembers your preferences between visits so the experience feels consistent. For example, display or language preferences you may have indicated.

Advertising Storage

Stores data used for advertising purposes, including remarketing. Allows relevant content to be shown to people who have previously visited this site.

Advertising User Data

Sends certain user data (in an aggregated, de-identified form) to Google for advertising measurement and optimization purposes.

Ad Personalization

Uses collected data to show more relevant advertisements tailored to inferred interests or demographic information. You can opt out of this at any time.

Manage your cookie preferences

Use the controls below to update your consent choices. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be turned off. Changes take effect immediately across the site.

Your rights

Right to withdraw consent: You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the controls on this page.

Right to access data: You may request information about what personal data we hold related to your use of this site.

Right to erasure: You can request deletion of any personal data associated with your use of the site by contacting us directly.

Right to data portability: Where applicable, you may request a copy of your data in a portable format.

Cookie Usage & Opt-Out Options

Cookies help us improve your experience, but their use is optional. If you do not wish to be tracked via cookies, you can:

→Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
→Use browser extensions or tools to manage cookie permissions.

You are free to browse our website without accepting cookies or submitting personal information. We honor your choice and ensure compliance with your privacy preferences.

Managing cookies in your browser

All major browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of this website function.

Look for cookie or privacy settings in your browser's preferences menu. The exact location varies by browser version, but is typically found under:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Categories of cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses four broad categories of cookies and equivalent client-side storage. Strictly necessary cookies (always active) maintain your session, remember your cookie-consent choices and protect against cross-site request forgery; without them the site cannot function. Functional cookies (opt-in) remember language preference, accessibility settings and theme. Analytics cookies (opt-in) provide aggregated, de-identified usage data so Cascade Pivot can improve information architecture and form clarity. Marketing cookies (opt-in, off by default) allow third-party advertising platforms to measure campaign effectiveness; we currently do not enable marketing cookies for visitors outside the European Economic Area unless local law requires consent prompts.

Managing cookies in your browser

Every modern browser provides controls to view, block or delete cookies. Detailed step-by-step guides are maintained by the browser vendors: Google Chrome (chrome://settings/cookies), Mozilla Firefox (Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data), Apple Safari (Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data), and Microsoft Edge (edge://settings/content/cookies). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the contact form, session resume, or consent-banner state from working as intended. We do not use device-fingerprinting techniques as a fallback when cookies are blocked.

Third-party cookies, beacons and Do Not Track

Pages on this site may load resources from third parties (for example, web-font providers, embedded video players, or social-share widgets). Such third parties may set their own cookies or web beacons under their own privacy policies; Cascade Pivot does not control these cookies and recommends that you consult the third party's policy directly. We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals where technically feasible — if your browser sends either signal, we will disable opt-in analytics and marketing cookies on that visit without further prompts. You can revisit your cookie preferences at any time via the consent banner at the bottom of any page.
