The short version
When you first visit, we ask whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. Until you choose — and if you choose Essential only — no analytics or advertising tags are loaded at all. Google Tag Manager, and the tags it loads, only start after you choose Accept all.
We also send Google's “consent mode” signals set to “denied” by default, so Google services know not to store analytics or advertising cookies unless you have agreed.
What we use
| Category | Purpose | When it's used | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choice and keeps the site working (for example, saving your progress in the AI Readiness Assessment while the tab is open). | Always on — the site can't work properly without it. | daidu-consent-v1 (browser local storage, until you clear it); daidu-assessment-v1 (session storage, cleared when you close the tab) |
| Analytics | Helps us understand which pages and workshops are useful, so we can improve them. We do not send names, emails or phone numbers to analytics. | Only if you choose “Accept all”. | Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity — loaded through Google Tag Manager |
| Advertising | Measures whether our ads lead to sign-ups, and lets us show relevant DAIDU ads on other platforms. | Only if you choose “Accept all”. | Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Ads — loaded through Google Tag Manager |
When analytics or advertising tags are allowed, the providers above may set their own cookies and receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. Their use is covered by their own privacy policies.
Links to the AI Tools Marketplace take you to marketplace.daidu.ai, which runs on Shopify and has its own cookie banner and settings. WhatsApp links open WhatsApp, which is governed by WhatsApp's terms.
DAIDU staff who sign in to the content management system also receive a login cookie. Visitors to the public site never do.
