Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how the TrainForTrade website (tft.unctad.org), operated by UNCTAD, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Notice.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information. They include:

• session and security cookies needed to serve pages reliably;
• your language preference (English, French or Spanish);
• a cookie recording your cookie-consent choice so we do not ask again on every visit.

Analytics cookies (Matomo — opt-in only)

We use a self-hosted Matomo instance to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies are set only after you give explicit consent through the cookie banner. IP addresses are anonymised, no data is shared with third parties, and no advertising or cross-site tracking is performed. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Managing your preferences

You can accept or decline analytics cookies using the cookie banner shown on your first visit, and you can change your choice at any time. You may also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
