Cookies Policy

Last updated: today

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your device when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your device on future visits, remember preferences and provide a smoother experience. Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage perform a comparable role and are treated together here.

2. Why we use them

We use a small number of cookies and storage entries for purposes that are limited and purposeful. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, follow you across other websites or sell your information to third parties.

3. Cookies and storage we use

3.1 Strictly necessary

tdh-cookie-ack — a local storage entry that remembers whether you have already seen and dismissed the cookie banner. It does not contain any personal information.

3.2 Performance and analytics

Where we use aggregated analytics, we configure it to anonymise IP addresses and to refrain from cross-site tracking. The information helps us understand which guides readers find useful so we can prioritise updates accordingly.

3.3 Functionality

Functional storage entries may remember small preferences such as whether you prefer to see the mobile or desktop layout when both are available, or any text you have entered into a form before reloading the page.

4. Third-party cookies

Some pages embed third-party resources, such as a Google Maps frame on the Contact page, fonts loaded from Google Fonts and icon styles loaded from a public icon library. These services may set their own cookies that we cannot control. Please refer to the relevant provider’s privacy notice for further detail.

5. How to manage cookies

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers also allow you to block third-party cookies entirely or to clear them when you close the browser window. Detailed instructions are available in the help pages of all major browsers.

Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the way some features of this website behave, such as remembering that you have already dismissed the cookie banner.

The first time you visit our site, a small banner asks you to acknowledge our use of cookies and similar technologies. By selecting “Accept” you give us your consent. By selecting “Decline” you indicate that you would prefer us not to use any non-essential cookies. The banner will not appear again on subsequent visits made from the same browser.

7. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation or our own practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Material changes will be highlighted at the top of the page.

8. Contact

If you have any questions about how we use cookies or similar technologies, please get in touch via our Contact page. We are happy to clarify anything that is not clear here.
