Cookie Policy

What this document covers

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar tracking technologies (“Trackers”) used by procurementinstitute.io and related Procurement Institute services.

For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to here as “Trackers” — though where the distinction matters (for example, when a browser-specific mechanism is being referenced), we use the term “Cookies” specifically.

Trackers are managed directly by Procurement Institute (so-called first-party Trackers) and by third parties whose services we integrate (so-called third-party Trackers). Unless stated otherwise, third-party providers may also access the Trackers they manage on our site.

The validity and expiration of Trackers vary depending on the provider. Some expire at the end of your browsing session; others persist for longer periods. Details of the retention periods applicable to specific Trackers are available in the linked privacy policies of each provider.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader framework of how personal data is processed at Procurement Institute.

Analytics and measurement Trackers

We use the following Trackers to measure traffic and analyse user behaviour to improve the service. These Trackers are set only after you give consent through our cookie consent mechanism.

Managing your preferences

You can set or update your cookie preferences at any time through the following channels.

The Your Privacy Choices link in the site footer opens the preferences panel provided by iubenda, where you can accept, reject, or customise consent by category.

Your browser settings allow you to view, block, or clear cookies across all sites. Browser-level controls do not allow granular per-category consent, but they are a useful fallback. Guides for the most common browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera.

Your device settings on mobile devices allow you to opt out of certain categories of tracking. Look for the advertising or tracking section in your operating system’s privacy settings.

With regard to third-party Trackers specifically, you can also manage preferences through the opt-out mechanisms provided in each third party’s privacy policy (linked in Sections 3, 4, and 5).

Consequences of denying consent

You are free to decide whether to grant consent to non-essential Trackers. Declining consent means that some features relying on those Trackers — analytics measurement, session replay for usability improvement, surveys, A/B testing — will be disabled for your session.

Strictly necessary Trackers (Section 3) will continue to operate regardless of consent, as they are required for the site and service to function. These include web hosting, content delivery, and library distribution.
