This Cookie Policy explains how terenza.org, operated by Ethio American LLC, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It describes what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, session status, or consent choices — so that the experience functions correctly and consistently across page loads.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, terenza.org). Third-party cookies are set by other domains, such as analytics providers.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all of these where applicable to the Terenza website.
These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool because without them, core features of the site would not work.

|---|---|---|
| ter_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |

| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session |
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made to provide a more personalized experience. Disabling these cookies may affect how certain features of the site behave.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this data to improve the site's performance and content.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy. Data collected through analytics cookies is not used to identify individual users and is not shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Terenza does not use advertising, targeting, or retargeting cookies. We do not serve behavioral advertising and do not share cookie data with advertising networks. The cookies we use are limited to those necessary for site functionality, user preferences, and aggregate analytics.
When you first visit terenza.org, a cookie consent notice appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only necessary cookies, or customize your preferences. Your choice is stored in the ter_consent cookie for 12 months.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie icon or consent link at the bottom of any page. You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites.
