How we use data
to refine your experience.
At Levant Digital Research, our commitment to high-fidelity analytics and intelligence begins with how we treat your interaction data. This policy outlines the specific role of cookies in maintaining our platform's integrity.
The mechanics of digital intelligence
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize your browser and remember certain information. For a research-led firm like Levant Digital Research, these files are not just technical requirements—they are the sensors that help us gather the data insights necessary to optimize our site navigation and content relevance.
"Our approach is strictly functional. We use these tools to ensure the platform remains stable, secure, and responsive to the needs of our global consultancy partners."
Our Cookie Taxonomy
We categorize our digital identifiers based on their specific utility within our analytics framework.
Structural Integrity
These are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these files.
- • Session Authentication
- • Security Protocol
- • CSRF Protection
Performance Analytics
These help us understand how visitors interact with our research by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure the reach of our intelligence reports.
- • Traffic Patterns
- • Bounce Rate Analysis
- • Load Attribution
Preference Controls
These allow the site to remember information that changes the way the site behaves or looks, such as your preferred region or font scaling for accessibility.
- • Language Settings
- • Video Quality
- • UI Customization
The Lifecycle of a Data Point
Transparency is at the core of our methodology. We believe you should know exactly how long a cookie stays active and what happens when it expires.
Session Based
Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Persistent
Stored on your device for a set period (e.g., 12 months).
First-Party Control
Most cookies on our platform are issued directly from the LevantDigitalResearch.digital domain. These are used only by us and our system to maintain service continuity and analytics accuracy.
Third-Party Assets
We occasionally embed content from trusted providers (like map services or video hosts). These providers may set their own cookies to monitor engagement with their specific widgets.
Governance and User Autonomy
Management of Preferences
Users have the legal right to manage or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Your browser settings provide comprehensive tools to audit and delete cookies already stored on your system. Please note that disabling essential structural cookies may significantly degrade your ability to navigate our research platform.
Our internal data governance team audits our cookie usage every 180 days to ensure compliance with emerging data protection standards and to prune unnecessary scripts.
Browser-Specific Controls
To exercise granular control, we recommend visiting the help pages of your specific browser. Most modern software allows for "Incognito" or "Private" sessions which automatically discard cookies after the window is closed, providing a balance between functionality and privacy.
