Cookies Policy
Last Updated: March 14, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how KYDOS SRL (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
KYDOS SRL is based in Italy at Via Vincenzo Monti, 8, 20123 Milan (Milano), Italy, and provides leadership education and professional development programs available across Canada. Cookies help the site function reliably, help us understand which pages are useful, and (if you choose) support advertising measurement and remarketing.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by KYDOS SRL) or “third-party” (set by a service provider we use).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags and server-side event forwarding. These technologies can record events such as page views or form submissions and are commonly used for analytics and advertising measurement. Whether these technologies are activated depends on the cookie category and your consent choice.
Cookie duration and origin
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies can also be:
- First-party, set by this website.
- Third-party, set by providers such as analytics or advertising partners.
Cookie categories we use
1) Essential cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They support core features such as basic navigation, security, and remembering your cookie consent choice. These cookies do not require consent under EU rules when used strictly for providing the service you request.
- Maintaining a minimal site session so pages behave consistently.
- Storing your cookie preferences so we can respect your choices.
- Supporting security features that reduce abusive traffic and protect forms.
2) Analytics cookies (optional, consent required)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed most, how long users stay on a page, and which referrers bring traffic. We use these insights to improve content clarity, navigation, and performance for participants across Canada.
When enabled, we typically use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization settings. Analytics cookies are activated only after you provide consent through the cookie banner or preferences panel. Analytics retention is configured for 14 months (where applicable), and cookie lifetimes are shown in the table below.
3) Marketing cookies (optional, consent required)
Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and to support remarketing. If enabled, they can help show more relevant ads to people who previously visited our site and help us understand whether advertising campaigns lead to inquiries (for example, a completed contact form).
Marketing cookies are activated only after consent. Typical partners include Google Ads and Meta. These partners may process identifiers such as cookie IDs and event data (page views, conversions). We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes.

Managing cookie preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer. This opens the cookie banner and lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or enable categories selectively.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to remove existing cookies and block future cookies. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly.
Third-party providers
Depending on your consent choices and which tools are activated, the following providers may set or read cookies:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Tag Manager): https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel, Custom/Lookalike Audiences, Conversion measurement): https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Cloudflare, Inc. (security and performance services): https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Each provider’s processing is governed by its own policies and settings and, where applicable, contractual terms for service providers.
