A functional website.
Transparent technology use.
This Cookie Notice explains how Efficient Consulting & Management USA LLC's website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, security, performance, analytics and related digital operations.
Small technologies can perform important functions.
Cookies are small data files or similar technologies that websites and online services may place or access on a user's device or browser. They can perform functions such as maintaining website operation, remembering preferences, supporting security and providing information about how a website is used.
Websites may also use related technologies, including local storage, pixels, scripts, tags or similar mechanisms. For simplicity, this Notice may refer collectively to these technologies as "cookies" or "website technologies."
The specific technologies active on the ECM USA website may depend on the website platform, features enabled, embedded services, user settings and future changes to website functionality.
Website technology operates at several levels.
ECM USA's website relies on infrastructure and supporting services that may process technical information as part of normal website operation.
First-Party Technologies
Certain cookies or similar technologies may be associated directly with the ECM USA website and used to support website functionality, preferences, security or other site-level operations.
Third-Party Technologies
Website platforms, form processors and other technology providers may use their own infrastructure or technologies when their services are incorporated into or accessed through the ECM USA website.
Session & Persistent Technologies
Some technologies operate only during a browser session, while others may remain for a period of time in order to remember settings, maintain functionality or support other legitimate website purposes.
Purpose matters more than the label.
Depending on configuration, website technologies may fall into one or more of the following functional categories.
Essential & Functional
These technologies may be necessary to operate the website, provide requested functionality, maintain sessions, support security, remember certain settings or enable technical features.
OperationalAnalytics & Performance
These technologies may provide information about website traffic, page usage, interactions, technical performance or how visitors navigate the site, helping website performance and content to be evaluated.
Configuration DependentPreference Technologies
These technologies may remember certain choices or preferences to improve or maintain the visitor's website experience.
Feature DependentOptional Third-Party Technologies
Embedded or integrated third-party functionality may introduce additional technologies depending on the services enabled on the website and the manner in which a visitor interacts with them.
Service DependentECM USA uses third-party technology infrastructure.
Form submissions are more than cookies.
ECM USA's General Contact and Institutional Review forms allow users to voluntarily provide information directly to ECM USA. The information entered into a form is not itself a "cookie."
However, the website platform, form-processing service or related infrastructure may process technical information associated with a submission in order to deliver, secure or administer the form.
Information intentionally entered into ECM USA's forms may include identity, contact, organization, mandate, transaction, project and other information described in the Privacy Policy.
Measurement can help improve the website.
Website infrastructure may provide ECM USA with aggregated or visitor-level information concerning website use and performance, depending on the services and settings enabled.
Such information may help ECM USA understand how visitors interact with the website, identify technical issues, evaluate content and improve website usability.
We do not assume technologies are present.
This Notice does not represent that ECM USA currently operates behavioral advertising, cross-site advertising tracking or advertising-profile technologies merely because such technologies are commonly used on other websites.
If ECM USA introduces advertising, remarketing, social-media tracking or comparable optional technologies in the future, this Notice and, where appropriate, website consent controls should be updated to reflect those technologies.
Visitors may have several layers of control.
Depending on the browser, device, jurisdiction and website configuration, visitors may be able to control certain cookies or website technologies through browser settings, device settings or website consent tools.
Restricting some technologies may affect website functionality, preferences or the operation of certain features.
External services have their own practices.
Where ECM USA uses a third-party website platform, form-processing provider or other external service, that provider may process information through its own systems and technologies.
ECM USA does not control every technical feature, cookie duration, infrastructure decision or processing practice implemented independently by third-party providers.
Users may therefore wish to review the privacy and cookie information published by relevant third-party providers where additional technical detail is required.
Website technology changes over time.
ECM USA may revise this Cookie Notice to reflect changes in website functionality, technology providers, cookie configuration, analytics, consent mechanisms, applicable requirements or digital operating practices.
The version published on this website represents the current Cookie Notice. Visitors may review this page periodically for changes.
Digital governance works as a connected framework.
This Cookie Notice should be read together with ECM USA's Privacy Policy, Disclaimer and related website governance notices.

Proportionate disclosure.
ECM USA's approach is to use and describe website technologies in a manner proportionate to the functionality they provide, while maintaining appropriate transparency concerning information processing and visitor controls.
