This Cookie Policy explains how TeamsCentral ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on teamscentral.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal information.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or whether you have seen a particular notice before. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixel tags, serve related purposes and are covered by this policy as well.
2. How This Site Uses Them
TeamsCentral uses cookies to keep the site functioning properly, to remember your preferences such as your cookie consent choice, and to understand how visitors interact with our educational content, including guides like video conferencing best practices and remote team productivity strategies. We do not use cookies to sell personal information, and this site has no shopping cart, checkout, or payment functionality, so no cookies are used for transactional purposes.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies used on this site into three categories: essential, preference, and analytics. The table below describes representative examples of each.
| Cookie Name | Category | Purpose | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| tc_session | Essential | Maintains basic site functionality and security during your browsing session | Session (deleted on browser close) |
| tc_consent | Essential | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we do not repeatedly ask for them | 12 months |
| tc_pref_theme | Preference | Remembers display preferences such as layout or font size settings | 6 months |
| tc_pref_region | Preference | Remembers your approximate region to tailor content relevance | 6 months |
| _tc_analytics_id | Analytics | Assigns an anonymized identifier used to understand aggregate traffic and page engagement patterns | 14 months |
| _tc_analytics_session | Analytics | Groups page views into a single visit for traffic measurement purposes | 30 minutes |
Essential cookies cannot be disabled because they are necessary for the site to function. Preference and analytics cookies are only placed with your consent, which you provide or decline through our cookie banner on first visit.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Below are general instructions for common browsers. Because browser interfaces change periodically, you may need to consult your browser's help documentation for the most current steps.
- Chrome: Open Settings, select Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. From here you can view, delete, or block cookies, and manage exceptions for specific sites.
- Firefox: Open Settings, select Privacy and Security, then scroll to Cookies and Site Data. You can clear existing cookies or adjust settings to block cookies from third parties or all sites.
- Safari: Open Preferences, select the Privacy tab, and adjust the settings under Manage Website Data to remove stored cookies or restrict cross-site tracking.
- Edge: Open Settings, select Cookies and Site Permissions, then Manage and Delete Cookies and Site Data. You can review stored cookies or clear them individually.
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect the functionality of this site, including your ability to retain cookie consent preferences across visits.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site may be set by third-party service providers, such as analytics platforms, that help us understand site usage. These third parties may also set their own cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. Where our content references external tools or services, such as in our guides on workplace collaboration suites, we do not control cookies set by those external websites once you navigate away from teamscentral.com.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or site functionality. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
