Cookie Policy
Transparent disclosure regarding cookies and storage technologies on the Darice Language Solutions website.
Clear Summary: Darice Language Solutions adopts a default stance of zero unnecessary tracking. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, social media beacons, or intrusive third-party behavioral profiling tools.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are typically used to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, or provide reporting information to site owners.
2. Our Strict No-Tracking Policy
Many modern commercial websites embed dozens of third-party tracking cookies to monitor visitors across the internet. In line with our corporate ethics and privacy-by-design principles, Darice Language Solutions does not engage in surveillance marketing or third-party behavioral tracking.
Specifically, we do NOT deploy:
- Google Analytics or Google Advertising cookies
- Meta (Facebook) tracking pixels
- LinkedIn Insight Tags or retargeting scripts
- Heatmapping or session recording tools (such as Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity)
- Third-party advertising network beacons
3. Cookies Used on This Website
Because this website is engineered as a lightweight, clean, and accessible web resource, it operates almost entirely without cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Technical Cookies (if any): Minimal session tokens or security cookies that may be generated by our hosting infrastructure or CDN solely to protect the server from automated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or load-balance server requests. These do not identify you personally and are essential for technical delivery.
- Analytics & Performance Cookies: None.
- Advertising & Targeting Cookies: None.
4. Managing & Disabling Cookies in Your Browser
Even though our site does not deploy tracking cookies, you retain complete control over cookies through your web browser settings. You can configure your browser to block or alert you about cookies:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
5. Fonts & Self-Hosted Resources
This website uses Inter and Lora fonts. These are self-hosted on our own server — they are not fetched from Google Fonts CDN, Adobe Fonts, or any external typography service. Your browser does not make any external requests to load our fonts, and no IP address or technical identifier is shared with any font provider.
No external JavaScript libraries, map embeds, video iframes, or social widgets are present on this website that could cause your browser to contact third-party servers without your knowledge.
6. Do We Need Your Cookie Consent?
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, a cookie consent banner is required only when a website deploys non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, or preference tracking). Because this website:
- deploys no analytics cookies,
- deploys no advertising or retargeting cookies,
- loads no external fonts or scripts that trigger third-party connections, and
- uses only strictly necessary infrastructure-level protections (if any),
we do not require a cookie consent banner under applicable EU law at this time. If our technical architecture changes in a way that introduces non-essential cookies or third-party data transfers, we will implement a compliant consent mechanism before those changes go live.
