What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site remember information about your visit, such as which pages you viewed, and help the site owner understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, work in a similar way. In this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.
This Cookies Policy explains how Elizarov Consulting Group (“ECG”, “we” or “us”) uses cookies on ecgdc.com (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

How we use cookies
We use a small number of cookies, for two purposes:
- Strictly necessary. These are needed for the Website to load securely and work correctly, for example, to deliver pages reliably through our hosting provider. They cannot be switched off.
- Analytics. We use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics, which helps us understand how many people visit, which pages and services they look at, how they arrived and whether they download our Capabilities Statement. This information is aggregated and helps us improve the Website.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting or selling your information, and we do not use them to identify you personally.

Third-party cookies
Analytics cookies are set by Google, which processes the data on our behalf. You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services. The Website does not embed social media feeds or share buttons, but if you follow our links to Facebook, X, Instagram or LinkedIn, those sites may set their own cookies under their own policies.
05
Managing your cookie choices
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- see which cookies are stored and delete them individually or all at once;
- block third-party cookies, or cookies from specific websites;
- block all cookies, or clear them every time you close the browser;
- browse in a private or incognito mode that does not keep cookies after you close the window.
You can also stop Google Analytics from collecting data on any website by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where required by law.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Website not to work properly. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Website.

Changes to this policy
