Cookie & Tracking Notice
Effective: August 13, 2026 | Version 1.01
Executive Data Council® is operated by Verivent LLC. Executive Data Council® is a registered trademark of Verivent LLC.
This Notice supplements the Privacy Policy. It explains how EDC uses cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics, email-engagement technologies and similar digital tools.
EDC uses digital technologies to operate and secure the website, remember choices, understand website and communication engagement, improve programs and manage professional relationships. EDC's policy is not to use participant information for cross-context behavioral advertising or to sell attendee lists or personal data for monetary consideration.

If introduced, EDC must update this Notice and deploy required consent/opt-out controls first.
Where permitted by law, EDC may associate digital activity with information it already lawfully holds about a person or organization, or with information received from an authorized service provider, to understand professional interests, manage relationships, improve program relevance and measure outreach. This does not override EDC's confidentiality rules for protected Councils, roundtables, research or other private programs.
Where applicable law requires consent or opt-out rights for a technology, EDC will provide a clear mechanism that is not designed to impair choice. If EDC is legally required to honor a recognized universal opt-out mechanism such as Global Privacy Control for a particular processing activity, EDC will do so. Browser settings may also block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect website functionality.
The current cookie/technology list presented through EDC's cookie-preference or consent interface, if deployed, is part of this Notice. EDC will not intentionally activate a non-essential technology that legally requires prior choice before providing that choice. EDC periodically reviews tags and consent controls to verify that public statements match actual operation.
Cookie and digital-identifier retention varies by technology and purpose. EDC configures retention to be reasonably necessary for the stated purpose and will update operational disclosures if a provider or material purpose changes.
Website tracking does not authorize recording, transcription, screenshot capture, participant identification or re-use of content from a protected EDC program. Protected-session confidentiality and attribution rules remain controlling.
