In short
We keep cookies simple. Our site stores a small consent record so the cookie notice does not keep appearing. If you click Accept, we also load CC360 / LeadConnector tracking so we can understand site visits, form activity, and referral context. If you click Reject All, optional tracking is not loaded. We do not use Tilda cookies, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or advertising-network cookies on this Astro site.

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (your computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store small amounts of information — for example, that you are logged in, or that you have set a preference.
Other technologies — pixel tags, web beacons, local storage, and similar tracking technologies — work in similar ways. In this policy, when we say "cookies", we mean all of these technologies together.
We use cookies to:
We do not use cookies to track you across the web for advertising purposes, and we do not sell your data to third parties.
We currently use a deliberately small setup:
We store a simple browser record after you click Accept or Reject All on the cookie notice. This prevents the notice from appearing on every page. This record is not used for analytics or marketing.
If you click Accept, we load the CC360 / LeadConnector external tracking script. This helps us understand site visits, form activity, and referral context connected to the City Leaders Program. We use this to improve the site and understand outreach performance.
This Astro site does not currently use Tilda runtime/statistics cookies, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Yandex Metrika, Stripe, PayPal, or LinkedIn tracking cookies.
The table below lists the current cookie and browser-storage setup for this site. We update this list when our setup changes.
If we add or remove cookies, we will update this table and, where appropriate, show the cookie notice again.
The only third-party tracking technology currently loaded after you accept optional tracking is CC360 / LeadConnector:
We do not control every technical cookie or storage item that CC360 / LeadConnector may set. We use it for site analytics, form activity, and referral context, not for cross-site advertising networks.
Our site uses a simple cookie notice. You can accept optional tracking or reject it. We do not currently offer a granular cookie-preferences manager on the site.
You can withdraw consent by clearing this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Withdrawing does not affect any processing that took place before withdrawal.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Instructions vary by browser. Useful links:
Please note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of most websites, including ours.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that tells websites you do not want to be tracked. The DNT standard has not been finalised, and there is no consistent industry agreement on how to respond to it. Our site does not currently change its behaviour based on DNT signals.
The newer "Global Privacy Control" (GPC) signal is gaining adoption, and we will update our practice to respect GPC as it becomes a clearer standard.
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove cookies, or when the law changes. The current version is always available at globalmayors.academy/cookies-policy.
If a change materially affects what cookies are used, the cookie notice may reappear so you can review the updated information.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please write to us at contact@globalmayors.academy with the subject line "Cookies enquiry".
