Cookie Policy for Life Design Institute

Effective date: 1 October 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Life Design Institute (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.lifedesigninstitute.org. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

We use only essential cookies by default. All non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics) are off unless you opt in via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

What are cookies?

  • Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites function, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.
  • Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, SDKs, and beacons.

How we classify cookies

  • Strictly necessary (essential): Required to provide core site functionality (security, load balancing, consent management, session management). These do not require consent.
  • Preferences (optional): Remember choices such as language or display settings.
  • Analytics (optional): Help us understand usage (e.g., pages visited, time spent) to improve the site. We configure analytics, where feasible, with IP anonymization and privacy-preserving settings.
  • Marketing (not used): We do not deploy third‑party advertising pixels for cross‑site behavioral targeting.

Cookies we use

  • Essential
    • Consent management cookie (e.g., cookie_consent): Stores your cookie choices. Duration: up to 12 months. Provider: Life Design Institute or consent tool provider.
    • Session cookie (e.g., sessionid/csrftoken): Maintains session state and CSRF protection. Duration: session or up to 24 hours. Provider: Life Design Institute/web host.
    • Load balancer/security (e.g., __cf_bm if using Cloudflare): Ensures site availability and security. Duration varies (typically < 1 day). Provider: Hosting/CDN.
  • Preferences (only if you opt in)
    • Language/theme cookie (e.g., site_lang, theme): Saves your display preferences. Duration: up to 12 months. Provider: Life Design Institute.
  • Analytics (only if you opt in)
    • First‑party analytics (e.g., Matomo/GA4 with IP anonymization): Measures site usage and performance. Duration: varies (e.g., 30 minutes to 13 months). Provider: Life Design Institute/analytics vendor.
    • We configure analytics to avoid cross‑site tracking and disable advertising features.

We do not use

  • Third‑party advertising cookies or pixels for behavioral targeting.
  • Social media tracking pixels unless explicitly disclosed and enabled by you (default is off).

Your choices

  • Cookie banner: On your first visit, you can accept all, reject all, or set preferences. You can change your choices anytime via “Cookie Settings.”
  • Browser controls: You can block/delete cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may break site functionality.
  • Do Not Track: While DNT is not standardized, we avoid cross‑site tracking and respect your cookie choices.

Data collected via cookies

  • May include anonymized/aggregated usage metrics, pseudonymous identifiers, and device/browser information. For details, see our Privacy Policy. Analytics cookies are configured to minimize data and avoid combining with other datasets for profiling.

International transfers

  • Where analytics or hosting providers process data outside the EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses). See our Privacy Policy.

Updates to this policy

  • We may update this Cookie Policy; the latest version will appear on this page with the effective date. Material changes may be communicated on-site.
