This Cookie Policy explains how Ascendum Solutions ("Ascendum," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on ascendum.com, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide analytics and advertising information to site operators. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage — we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.
Our approach: nothing runs until you choose
Non-essential cookies and tracking technologies — including Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Facebook Pixel, and ZoomInfo — do not load or collect any data on this site until you make a choice in our consent banner. If you take no action, or select "Reject all," no analytics or marketing technologies are loaded. You can change your choice at any time via the "Your Privacy Choices" link in the footer of every page.
Categories of cookies we use
Essential cookies: Required for the site to function and to remember your consent choice. These cannot be switched off. This includes our consent cookie (asc_consent), which records the choice you made, when you made it, and the version of the notice you saw. It stores no personal information beyond your preference and expires after 12 months, at which point we ask again.
This category also includes Google reCAPTCHA, a security service we use to protect our contact forms from spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA sets a strictly necessary cookie (_GRECAPTCHA) and sends limited device and interaction signals to Google for the sole purpose of determining whether a form submission is from a human or a bot. This data is used only for security purposes and not for advertising or profiling. For more information see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Analytics cookies: Set only with your consent. We use Google Analytics 4, deployed through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors use the site — pages visited, time on page, approximate location (city level), device and browser type. This information helps us improve the site. Provider: Google LLC. Typical cookies: _ga, ga*. Duration: up to 24 months.
Marketing cookies: Set only with your consent. Used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and to show you relevant content about our services on other platforms. Providers include Google LLC (advertising services via GTM), LinkedIn Corporation (Insight Tag), Facebook/Meta (Pixel), and ZoomInfo Technologies (visitor intelligence). Under some US state privacy laws, this activity may be considered "sharing" personal information or "targeted advertising." Duration: up to 24 months.
Third-party content
This site embeds video content hosted on Vimeo's content delivery network. Videos are loaded as direct media files. Vimeo may collect standard CDN request data (IP address, browser type, referrer) as part of serving the file. This is separate from Vimeo's full tracking embed and does not involve Vimeo's advertising or analytics cookies. See Vimeo's Privacy Policy at vimeo.com/privacy for more information.
Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising — required by California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, and Texas. When your browser sends a GPC signal, marketing cookies are disabled automatically and we display a visible confirmation. You may override this for this site only via cookie settings.
How to manage cookies
Reopen the consent panel at any time via "Your Privacy Choices" in the site footer. Enable GPC at globalprivacycontrol.org. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality including our ability to remember your opt-out.
Changes to this policy
When we make material changes — such as adding new cookie categories or providers — we will update the effective date above and re-present the consent banner so you can make a fresh choice.
