Cookies Policy

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use localStorage to remember your cookie preferences. Together, these technologies help the site function and, with your permission, provide usage insights.

Our use of non-essential cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended. PECR requires us to obtain your consent before placing analytics or marketing cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from this consent requirement because they are essential for the site to operate. For broader data protection rights, see our Privacy Policy.

2. How we obtain consent

When you first visit, a banner offers Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings. Non-essential cookies are not placed until you opt in, in line with PECR requirements. You may change your mind at any time via the Cookie preferences link in the footer or by clearing site data.

3. Cookie categories

Strictly necessary

These items enable core features such as navigation and storing your consent choice. They cannot be disabled through our settings panel because the site would not operate correctly without them.

• tdde_cookie_prefs (localStorage) — stores your cookie category selections; duration: until cleared

Analytics

Activated only when you consent. Analytics cookies help us understand which guides attract attention and whether visitors encounter navigation issues. Data is aggregated where possible.

• _tdde_visit (example) — counts page views per session; duration: 13 months

Marketing

Activated only when you consent. Marketing cookies may record that you viewed workspace content so related articles can be suggested on partner platforms. We do not use these cookies to profile sensitive attributes.

• _tdde_ref (example) — records referral source for content suggestions; duration: 6 months

4. Third-party cookies

Embedded maps from OpenStreetMap may set their own cookies when you interact with the map interface. Review their privacy documentation for details. We load icon fonts from a CDN; your browser may cache associated resources.

5. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice. Guidance is available from your browser manufacturer or at aboutcookies.org.
