Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 23, 2026
Understanding Our Use of Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains how Thrive Knowledge Group uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
- Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced functionality and personalization
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our website
- Security Cookies: Help keep our website and users secure
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Authentication cookies
- Security cookies
- Load balancing cookies
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality such as:
- Remembering your preferences
- Personalizing content
- Maintaining your session state
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand website usage:
- Number of visitors
- Pages viewed
- Time spent on site
- Traffic sources
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to measure how visitors use our website. Analytics cookies are optional. They load only after you allow them through our cookie consent banner, and you can decline them at any time.
4. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google acts as a data processor on our behalf and processes analytics data according to its own terms and policies. Google Analytics sets the following cookies in your browser when you allow analytics:
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes individual visitors | About 13 months |
| _gid | Distinguishes individual visitors | About 24 hours |
| _gat | Limits the rate of requests sent to Google | About 1 minute |
We use Google Consent Mode v2, so Google Analytics tags respect your choice. In the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom, analytics storage stays denied until you accept it through the consent banner. You can learn more in the Google Privacy Policy.
5. Your Cookie Choices and the Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner asks whether you want to allow analytics cookies. You can Accept analytics or Decline. We store your choice in a small cookie named tkg_consent so we can remember it on your next visit. Essential cookies always load because the website cannot function without them, but analytics cookies load only when you allow them.
6. Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party service providers who place cookies on your device to help us:
- Analyze website traffic and usage patterns
- Provide secure authentication services
- Deliver content and services
These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookies.
7. Managing Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies through their settings
- Opt-Out Tools: You can opt out of certain third-party cookies
- Delete Cookies: You can delete cookies already stored on your device
Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your privacy choices and you can manage cookies through your browser settings.
10. Cookie Retention
The length of time cookies remain on your device varies:
- Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent Cookies: Remain until they expire (typically 30 days to 2 years) or until you delete them
