Our Approach to Knowledge

CTA believes reliable information is a foundation for better decision-making.

Our publications are intended to support learning, encourage constructive dialogue, and provide practical information that can help stakeholders move from awareness to action.

As CTA's work expands, our publication library will grow to include research, technical resources, educational tools, collaborative findings, and other resources that support our mission.

The Library

Privacy Policy

This site collects nothing about you unless you sign up for the newsletter. There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no session recording and no fingerprinting. Nothing you do here is logged, stored or profiled by us.

Every file a page loads as you read it — the stylesheet, the script, the typefaces and the photography — is served from this site's own domain. Reading the site makes no request to any third party, so no third party learns that you visited.

The site is published with GitHub Pages, which like any web host receives the requests your browser makes and may keep its own server logs. That is outside our control and we have no access to them.

The newsletter is the one exception, and only if you use it. Pressing Subscribe sends the address you typed to Mailchimp, the service that runs our mailing list, and Mailchimp's own privacy policy then applies to it. Every newsletter it sends carries a link to unsubscribe.

Links to other organisations' sites are ordinary links — once you follow one, that site's own policies apply.

Terms of Use

This site is published for information. It describes the alliance, its programs and its work, and points to publications held elsewhere.

The content is provided as it is, without warranty. We try to keep it accurate and current, but it may be incomplete or out of date, and it is not professional, legal or regulatory advice. Decisions you take on the basis of it are your own.

Links to other organisations' publications are provided because they are useful. We do not control those sites and linking to one is not an endorsement of everything on it.

The alliance's own text and images remain its property. Quote and link to them freely with attribution; ask before republishing them wholesale.

Cookie Settings

There is nothing to set. This site uses no cookies at all — not for analytics, not for advertising, not for preferences, not even the “strictly necessary” kind.

It also writes nothing to local storage or session storage, and registers no service worker. Close the tab and no trace of your visit remains on your device beyond your browser's ordinary cache.

That is why you have never seen a cookie banner here. There is no consent to give, because nothing is being asked of you.

Signing up for the newsletter is the one time a page talks to another service: your browser contacts Mailchimp, which runs our mailing list. Anything Mailchimp keeps in your browser for its own domain is covered by Mailchimp's cookie policy rather than this one.
