What are cookies? §1
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to your browser and can only be read by the web server that issued them.
How we use cookies §2
diidum uses cookies for the following purposes:
- To keep the platform functioning correctly — for example, maintaining your session while you browse or complete a registration
- To remember your preferences and settings between visits
- To understand how visitors interact with our websites so we can improve performance and usability
- To support the secure processing of payments via Stripe
diidum does not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking, or any form of third-party marketing.
Types of cookies we use §3
The cookies used on diidum.com and events.diidum.com fall into the following categories:
| Type | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| These cookies are necessary for the website and registration platform to function. They enable core features such as session management, security, and completing a registration or payment. The site cannot function properly without them. | Always active | |
| These cookies remember your preferences — such as language or currency selection — to provide a more consistent experience across visits. They do not track you across other websites. | Active by default | |
| We may use limited, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how pages are used — for example, which pages are visited most often or where errors occur. This information is used solely to improve the platform. No personal profiles are built. | Consent required |
Third-party cookies §4
When you make a payment on our platform, you interact with Stripe, our payment processor. Stripe may set its own cookies as part of the secure payment process. These are essential to completing your transaction and are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
diidum does not use third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or any other external services that set cookies for marketing purposes.
If you have embedded an event widget from events.diidum.com on your own website, the widget may set session cookies to support the registration flow. These are essential cookies only.
Managing your preferences §5
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Visit your browser's help section for instructions. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent parts of our platform from working correctly.
- Cookie controls on our site — where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from completing an event registration or payment. We recommend leaving these enabled.
Changes to this policy §6
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date at the top.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our websites after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
