2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. They help websites function, remember choices, or understand how pages are used.
3. How we use cookies
We group cookies into the categories shown in our consent banner:
3.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for core functionality. They cannot be disabled through our banner because the site would not operate correctly. Examples include storing your cookie preference selection and maintaining basic security tokens during a session. Legal basis: legitimate interest and, where applicable, necessity to provide a service you request.
3.2 Analytics
When you opt in, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns—such as which educational articles are read most often and whether navigation paths are clear. We configure analytics to avoid collecting unnecessary identifiers where possible. Legal basis: consent.
3.3 Marketing
Marketing cookies, also controlled by the Analytics / Marketing toggle in our settings panel, may be used to measure whether visitors who arrived from permitted advertising campaigns engage with contact pages. We do not use cookies to profile health conditions or infer sensitive attributes. Legal basis: consent.
4. Cookie banner controls
On your first visit, a banner offers three choices:
- Accept All: Enables strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing cookies.
- Reject: Enables only strictly necessary cookies.
- Cookie Settings: Opens a panel where strictly necessary cookies remain on while you choose whether analytics/marketing cookies are active.
Preferences are stored in your browser’s local storage under the key associated with our site. You may change choices at any time by clearing site data or contacting us for guidance.
5. Specific cookies and retention
The following table describes typical cookies we may deploy. Exact names may vary after technical updates; material changes will be reflected here.
- tdde_cookie_prefs (local storage): Stores consent categories. Duration: until deleted by user. Category: strictly necessary for honoring choices.
- Session identifiers (if hosting enables them): Maintain secure connections. Duration: session. Category: strictly necessary.
- Analytics identifiers (optional): Distinguish visits in aggregate. Duration: up to fourteen months. Category: analytics/marketing with consent.
6. Third-party cookies
If we embed content from third parties (such as font or icon delivery networks), those providers may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We load icon styles from a public CDN; review the provider documentation for details. We minimize third-party scripts and do not embed social plugins that track users without consent.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent preference storage and degrade site functionality. Guidance is available from browser vendors: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge publish support articles on cookie management.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Industry practice varies; we currently respond by limiting optional cookies unless you provide explicit consent through our banner.
9. International visitors
Visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland receive the consent mechanisms described above in line with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. U.S. visitors may have additional rights under state laws as described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Updates
We review this Cookie Policy when we add tools or change vendors. The “Last updated” date in the hero section reflects the latest revision. Significant changes may be highlighted on the website for a reasonable period.
