3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, analyze website traffic, and support our marketing activities where you have provided consent. We categorize cookies into three groups, each serving distinct purposes as described below.
4. Cookie Categories
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. They do not require consent under GDPR because they are necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested. Examples include:
- Cookie consent preference storage (tdde_cookie_consent)
- Session management for form security
- Load balancing and infrastructure cookies
These cookies are always active and typically expire when you close your browser or after a maximum of 12 months for preference storage.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous, aggregated information about page views, navigation paths, time spent on pages, and referral sources. This data helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies are only activated with your explicit consent.
Typical data collected includes: pages visited, time on site, bounce rate, device type, browser type, and approximate geographic region (country level). IP addresses may be anonymized before processing.
Retention period: up to 26 months in aggregated form.
4.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners.
Marketing cookies may collect: pages viewed, links clicked, referral source, and interaction with advertisements. This information may be shared with advertising platforms to build audience profiles.
Retention period: up to 13 months, depending on the specific cookie.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Your preferences are stored locally in your browser and respected on subsequent visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site, or by contacting us to request preference reset.
