Cookie Notice
Plain-language summary for training participants and enterprise procurement partners. Questions: welcome@grid-link.one
1. What are cookies
Directory Forge Academy operates training programs in the Republic of Korea. Where Korean consumer statutes such as the Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce provide mandatory rights, those rights remain available to you regardless of softer language here. We describe processes plainly so teams can make informed choices without wading through unnecessary jargon. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They let us remember preferences, keep forms stable, and understand whether optional analytics should run. This notice explains what we store, why we store it, and how you can change your mind without losing access to essential information about our workshops.
2. Preferences
Preference cookies remember choices such as whether you opted into analytics or dismissed informational banners. They do not attempt to profile individuals for unrelated marketing. You can revisit preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. Clearing browser storage removes these markers until you set them again during a future visit.
3. Categories
We group cookies into essential, preference, and optional analytics categories. Essential cookies support core navigation and security, such as remembering that you submitted a contact form successfully. Preference cookies store interface choices. Optional analytics cookies, when enabled, aggregate page views without tying data to workshop purchases because we do not sell training through this static site.
4. Contact
Questions about this notice can be sent to welcome@grid-link.one with the subject line “Cookie inquiry.” Please include the browser and device type you used so we can troubleshoot quickly. We respond within reasonable business hours and may ask for clarifying details if your report involves a corporate proxy that strips cookies unexpectedly.
5. Consent
By default we load essential cookies only. Additional categories require a clear opt-in through the banner or preferences control. Withdrawing consent is as simple as opening preferences and disabling non-essential categories. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred beforehand, but it stops new optional reads from firing on subsequent page loads.
6. Third parties
We do not sell cookie data. If we embed strictly necessary content delivery features in the future, we will list providers here with purposes and retention. Currently, optional analytics would run only through vendors bound by data processing terms consistent with Korean expectations for transparency. You will see an updated table before any new vendor activates.
7. What are cookies — additional detail
Cookies differ from local storage entries. We may use short-lived storage for workshop filter experiments in your browser, but those entries stay on your device and can be cleared like cookies. Our static build avoids server-side sessions, so we are not maintaining account cookies for anonymous visitors. Training registrations that happen off-site follow the provider you choose.
8. Preferences — additional detail
If you use multiple browsers, each maintains its own preference cookie. Corporate policies that reset browsers nightly may clear your choices; re-saving preferences after policy updates is normal. We log aggregated counts of opt-in rates without storing identifiable chains across devices.
9. Categories — additional detail
Essential cookies may include load-balancing tokens if we migrate hosts. Preference cookies might remember expanded FAQ panels for accessibility. Analytics cookies, when allowed, measure scroll depth on long legal pages so we know whether headings need simplification. None of these categories alter workshop pricing or create automated decisions about eligibility.
10. Contact — additional detail
If you represent an enterprise client with standardized cookie audits, we can provide a short data map summarizing categories and retention periods. Send procurement templates to the same email and allow several business days for review. We do not charge for standard documentation related to transparency.
11. Consent — additional detail
Children should not register for marketing lists through this site. If you believe a minor submitted data inadvertently, contact us and we will delete reasonable records tied to the request. Consent logs for optional cookies are minimal and focus on timestamps rather than personal narratives.
