Cookies and Preferences
Effective Date: April 15, 2026
This Cookies and Preferences page explains how SAI Exchange uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website saiexchange.org, and how you can manage your preferences. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used by the website (third-party cookies).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
SAI Exchange uses the following categories of cookies on our website:
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms, setting privacy preferences, or logging into a portal. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, parts of our website may not function as intended.
b) Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors navigate through the website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you visited our site or be able to monitor its performance.
We may use services such as Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses its own cookies and you can learn more about how Google uses data from its partners at google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
c) Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly. Examples include remembering your language preferences, region, or previously viewed content.
d) Targeting and Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
3. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can remain on your device for varying lengths of time:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate between pages on our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They allow us to recognize you when you return to our website.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. SAI Exchange does not control the use of these third-party cookies and we encourage you to check the relevant third-party websites for more information about their cookie policies. Third-party services we may use include:
- Google Analytics – for website analytics and performance tracking
- Google Fonts – for web typography
- Social Media Platforms – if you interact with our social sharing buttons (e.g., Facebook, Instagram)
- Embedded Video Providers – such as YouTube or Vimeo, if we embed video content
- Form Providers – third-party form tools used for applications and contact forms
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. Please note that if you block all cookies, some parts of our website may not work correctly. For information on how to manage cookies in your browser:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Cookies
Opt-Out Tools
You may also opt out of certain third-party tracking by using the following tools:

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity not be tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals. However, we respect your ability to manage your cookie preferences as described in this policy.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies and Preferences page from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our use of cookies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
