Cookie policy basics: cookies, session storage and the difference
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep. Your browser then sends it back to that site on every later request. Cookies are how many sites recognize returning visitors, measure traffic and follow people across the web for advertising.
Session storage is a separate area inside your browser. A page can write a value there and read it back while the tab stays open. However, the browser never sends the value to our server with your requests. It also deletes the value when you close the tab or window. That is the only storage this site uses at the moment.
What our cookie policy covers: everything the site keeps in your browser
The contact form stores nothing in your browser
Our inquiry forms do not set cookies. Before the form sends anything, a script in the page checks that you filled in the name and email fields. It also highlights any field you missed. Your device keeps nothing you type.
When you press the submit button, the form sends the fields you filled in to our own server. The server emails the inquiry to Sataware staff so a consultant can reply. It also keeps a copy in a log file on the same server, so a failed email does not lose an inquiry. Along with your message, the server records your IP address, the page you sent the form from and the time. Our privacy policy covers how we use and keep that information.

How to clear site data yourself
- 1
Close the tab
The dx-exit flag lives in session storage, so closing the tab or the browser window removes it. For this site, that is usually all you need to do.
- 2
Chrome
Open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Delete browsing data (older versions call it Clear browsing data), and tick cookies and other site data.
- 3
Microsoft Edge
In Edge, open Settings, then Privacy, search, and services, then choose what to clear under Clear browsing data.
- 4
Firefox
Open Settings, then Privacy and Security, and under Cookies and Site Data choose Clear Data or Manage Data to remove one site.
- 5
Safari on a Mac
In Safari, open Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data, search for the site and remove it. Menu names shift between browser versions, so the wording on your screen may differ slightly.
Other websites, changes to this cookie policy and who to contact
The footer links to our pages on LinkedIn, X and YouTube. Those are ordinary links: nothing from those networks loads on our pages. If you follow one, that site applies its own cookie policy.
If we ever add analytics, a chat tool or anything else that stores data in your browser, we will act before it goes live. First, we will update the table above and the date at the top of this page. The laws of the State of Arizona govern this cookie policy. Questions go to hello@d365consultant.com, or by post to Sataware Technologies, 217 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
Cookie policy questions
Does d365consultant.com use cookies?
No, the site does not set any cookies of its own today. The only value it writes to your browser is a single flag in session storage, which the browser deletes when you close the tab. We chose this deliberately: a consulting site does not need to follow visitors around to answer their questions.
Why is there no cookie consent banner?
Because there is nothing optional to consent to at the moment. Consent banners exist to ask permission for analytics and advertising cookies, and we use neither. If that changes, we will ask before setting anything that is not strictly needed for the site to work.
Do you know who visited the site?
Not from your browser, because we run no analytics or tracking scripts. Like most web servers, the server that hosts the site can keep standard technical access logs of requests. Also, a submitted inquiry records the details we list above. We do not build visitor profiles from either.
Will clearing my browser data break the site?
No, everything will work exactly as before. The worst that happens is that the site may offer the "Talk to an expert" window once more on a later visit. Any display preference, if you had set one, would return to the default.
