This Cookie Policy explains how k12conferences.com ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Required to operate the Site — including authentication tokens that keep you signed in, session storage for the itinerary planner wizard, and security cookies. These cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality.
Functional
Remember your preferences such as the role you selected (teacher, vendor, organiser, speaker), saved conferences, and dismissed banners.
Analytics
Help us understand which conferences, speakers and pages are most useful so we can improve the directory. These cookies collect aggregated, pseudonymous information about page views and outbound clicks.
Advertising / sponsorship
We do not run third-party ad networks. We do track clicks on sponsored placements (Featured vendors, Must-See Vendor slots) so we can report performance to the sponsor — these are first-party only and do not follow you across the web.
3. Third-party cookies
A small number of cookies are set by trusted service providers we use to operate the Site, such as our authentication and database provider. We do not allow third parties to use cookies on the Site for their own advertising purposes.
4. Managing cookies
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in or using the planner. Useful links:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no industry standard for how to interpret this signal, the Site does not currently respond to it.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. Material changes will be posted here with a revised "Last updated" date.
