At International Tax Justice Academy, we believe trust is of the utmost importance. Transparency allows trust. This is why we want you to understand what data we collect and how we use it. As described in section 2. C. of our Privacy Policy, we use cookies and similar technologies. In this spirit of transparency, this Cookie Policy provides you with detailed information about how we use such cookies and how you may limit their use.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data saved on your computer or other end devices (e.g. mobile) and that enables us to store and collect specific information related to you or your use of International Tax Justice Academy.

Please note that sometimes we also allow the use of third-party cookies, namely cookies set by third-party partners, like Google Analytics.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

We and service providers acting on our behalf use cookies and other ad technology such as web beacons, tracking pixels and tags to collect information relating to you and your use of our products and services so we can show ads that are the most relevant to you and your interests.

How can I modify or delete cookies?

Most internet browsers enable you to adjust cookies acceptance settings and/or delete cookies. You can usually see the content of cookies, delete them or just prevent them from being set. However, if you do so, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work as well or at all. Please consult your browser’s help section (or use a search engine) if you need assistance with these browser features. You can also find some help on aboutcookies.org.
