The first time you visit the website you will see a banner that lets you accept or reject non-technical cookies. You can change your preferences at any time through the "Manage Cookies" button in the site footer.

You can manage cookie preferences directly from your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View the cookies that have been stored

  • Delete cookies from your device
  • Set specific preferences for particular websites

6.3 Guides for specific browsers

Below are links to the official guides for managing cookies in the most common browsers:

Please note: disabling technical cookies may prevent some features of the website from working correctly.

7. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked.

There is currently no universal industry standard for responding to DNT signals. Our website therefore does not respond automatically to DNT requests. We do, however, respect your opt-out choices made through the cookie banner and your browser settings.

8. Other Tracking Technologies

Besides cookies, other technologies may be used to collect information:

8.1 Web beacons (pixel tags)

Small, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails to monitor user interaction.

8.2 Local Storage

An HTML5 technology that stores data directly in the user’s browser, with greater capacity than traditional cookies.

8.3 Session Storage

Similar to Local Storage, except that the data is deleted automatically when the browser session ends.

Note: the AAI Consulting website currently uses mainly technical cookies and may make limited use of Local Storage to improve the user experience.
