Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ISSEAD uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
For information about how we process personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be necessary for a website to function, remember preferences or provide information about how visitors use a website.
How We Use Cookies
Our website is hosted by Squarespace.
We use necessary cookies that enable the website to operate securely and provide its core functionality. These cookies may be used without your consent where they are strictly necessary for providing the website and services you request.
With your consent, our website may also use non-essential cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as website analytics and performance.
Our current Squarespace configuration restricts non-essential cookies unless the visitor provides the relevant consent.
Squarespace Analytics
We use Squarespace's website analytics functionality to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve its content and performance.
Depending on your cookie preferences, Squarespace may use analytics and performance cookies to provide information such as website visits, traffic sources and how visitors interact with the website.
Where these cookies are non-essential, they are subject to your cookie preferences.
Squarespace may also process website activity information as part of the analytics services it provides to us.
YouTube Videos
Some pages on our website contain videos embedded from YouTube, a service provided by Google.
When you access or interact with embedded YouTube content, Google and YouTube may process information about your device and your interaction with the video and may use cookies or similar technologies.
Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or related technologies, your cookie preferences apply.
YouTube and Google process information according to their own privacy and data-protection policies. We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy if you would like further information about how Google processes information.
Where technically appropriate, we may use privacy-enhanced embedding options for YouTube content to reduce unnecessary tracking.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, our cookie banner allows you to:
accept cookies;
decline non-essential cookies; or
manage your cookie preferences.
You can change your preferences later by selecting the "Cookie Preferences" option available on our website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
Third-Party Services
Some website content or functionality may be provided by third-party services.
These services may process information independently from ISSEAD and may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.
We currently use or integrate services including:
Squarespace, for website hosting, functionality and analytics;
YouTube, provided by Google, for embedded video content.
If we introduce additional services that materially change our use of cookies or similar technologies, we will update this policy where appropriate.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, the services we use or applicable legal requirements change.
The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.
