    Cookie & Tracking Technologies Notice

    Effective: June 6, 2026 · Last updated: June 6, 2026

    This Notice is part of our Privacy Policy and explains what tracking technologies Best Practice Institute, Inc. does — and does not — use on bestpracticeinstitute.org and our related Services.

    1. Plain-English summary

    We do not set cookies on this website. We do not run third-party analytics, advertising pixels, ad-network tags, session-replay tools, fingerprinting, or cross-site trackers of any kind. Nothing on this site reports your browsing back to Google, Meta, LinkedIn, or any data broker.

    The only browser storage we use is first-party localStorage — and only after you sign in — so that you stay signed in between page loads. That data lives in your browser, on your device, and is never transmitted to third parties.

    2. What we do not do

    • No first-party or third-party HTTP cookies.
    • No Google Analytics, GA4, Google Tag Manager, or Google Ads tags.
    • No Meta/Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, X/Twitter Pixel, or TikTok Pixel.
    • No PostHog, Hotjar, FullStory, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, or session replay.
    • No advertising-network identifiers, retargeting, or audience syndication.
    • No "sale" or "share" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California CCPA/CPRA.
    • No browser fingerprinting or device-graph linkage.

    3. Storage we do use

    The browser localStorage on this site is used only for the following first-party, strictly necessary purposes:

    • Authenticated session. If you sign in, your session token is held in localStorage so you don't have to log in on every page. Clearing your browser storage will sign you out.
    • UI preferences. Small, non-identifying state such as a dismissed banner or a remembered tab selection, stored only on your device.

    None of this data is transmitted to advertisers or analytics vendors. CSRF and OAuth state for sensitive flows (for example, Google Search Console connections) are stored server-side in our database, not in your browser.

    4. Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track

    Because we do not engage in "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and do not run cross-site tracking, there is nothing for the Global Privacy Control signal to opt you out of. We nonetheless treat a GPC signal as a valid, binding opt-out under California, Colorado, and Connecticut law, and we will continue to honor it if our practices ever change. We do not respond to legacy Do Not Track headers because there is no industry standard for them — GPC supersedes DNT.

    5. Your browser controls

    You can clear local browser storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Clearing storage will sign you out and reset UI preferences but will not otherwise affect your ability to use the public site.

    6. If this ever changes

    If we add cookies, analytics, or any third-party tracking in the future, we will update this Notice and the "Last updated" date before turning them on, and — where required by law (including the EEA, UK, and other consent-first jurisdictions) — we will request your opt-in consent through a compliant consent banner first.
