Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Cardea Services uses cookies and related technologies on cardeaservices.org. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.

What Cookies Do

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. They can help a website remember preferences, support security, and understand how visitors use its content.

Related technologies include browser storage and scripts that provide website features or communicate information to service providers.

Some cookies expire when a browsing session ends. Others remain for a set period or until you delete them.

Essential Website Functions

Essential technologies support website operation, security, and saved cookie preferences. These may include services provided by WPConsent and Cloudflare.

Essential technologies remain available when optional analytics cookies are declined. Browser settings that block all cookies may affect some website functions.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and WPMU DEV’s Matomo-based analytics to understand website traffic and improve our content.

These tools may process information about pages viewed, traffic sources, device and browser details, approximate location, visit times, interactions, and cookie identifiers.

Optional analytics cookies are managed through WPConsent. You can accept or decline them through the website’s cookie controls.

Our Google integration also uses Consent Mode to communicate cookie choices. Depending on the configuration and consent state, Google may receive limited consent or measurement signals without setting analytics cookies.

Advertising

We do not use advertising cookies, advertising pixels, or retargeting technology on this website.

Our analytics tools are used for website traffic reporting and improvement.

Forms and Spam Prevention

Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA to help protect forms from spam and automated abuse. Security services may process network, device, and interaction information when you access or use a protected feature.

If a privacy setting prevents a form from working, you can contact us directly using the details below.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes UserWay accessibility tools. These tools may use cookies or browser storage to support their operation and remember settings.

For help accessing website content, visit our Accessibility Statement or contact us directly.

Managing Your Preferences

WPConsent provides the website’s cookie banner and preference controls.

You can:

  • Select Accept All to allow the optional categories offered.
  • Select Reject to decline optional cookies.
  • Open Cookie Preferences to review categories and save your choices.
  • Reopen the website’s cookie preference control to change your selection.

Changing a preference affects future use of the relevant technology. It does not automatically erase information already collected.

Preferences apply to the browser and device where you make them. You may need to choose again after deleting cookies or using another browser or device.

WPConsent stores your selection and maintains consent records.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

Global Privacy Control, or GPC, is a privacy signal available in some browsers and browser extensions.

Our cookie controls recognize supported GPC signals and apply them as a request to decline optional cookie categories. You can review your settings through Cookie Preferences.

The older Do Not Track browser setting is different from GPC. We do not use Do Not Track alone as a separate cookie preference. Please use our cookie controls or supported GPC settings to communicate your choice.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect saved preferences, forms, or other features. Deleting cookies may also remove your saved consent choice.

Linked Services and Embedded Content

Training platforms, registration services, newsletter signup pages, and other linked websites may use their own cookies. Preferences selected on this website may not apply to those services.

Where optional third-party content is managed by our consent tool, you may need to allow the relevant category before the content loads.

Cookie Duration

Cookie lifetimes vary by provider, purpose, and configuration. Our cookie preference panel includes the cookie information documented for the website.

You can also inspect and delete cookies through your browser. Cookie expiration does not necessarily mean that previously collected information has been deleted from a provider’s systems.

Updates and Questions

We may revise this policy when our website technologies or practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision.
