2. What are cookies and related technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. Similar technologies include local storage items, pixels, and software development kits used in apps. They can be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by partners we integrate).
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the site secure, remember your cookie choices, measure aggregated performance, and—if you consent—support marketing relevance. We minimise data collection and configure tools to reduce persistent identifiers where feasible.
4. Categories of cookies
4.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for core functions such as load balancing, security tokens, fraud prevention signals, and storing your consent decisions. They do not require consent under the ePrivacy approach mirrored in our banner, but you can still block them through browser settings at the cost of broken functionality.
4.2 Functional (if enabled)
Functional cookies remember choices such as language or form drafts. We only enable them when they are not strictly necessary if consent is required in your jurisdiction.
4.3 Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand aggregated traffic, popular pages, and error rates. Data is typically aggregated and may include a pseudonymous identifier. We activate these cookies only after you choose “Accept all” or enable the analytics toggle and save.
4.4 Marketing
Marketing cookies may build segments for remarketing or measure ad effectiveness. They are off by default until you provide consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing storage or adjusting the banner settings when we surface them again after policy changes.
5. Specific cookies and storage keys
Our site stores a localStorage entry named tdde_cookie_prefs_v1 to remember your category choices and tdde_consent_v1 to record that a decision was made. These entries contain boolean flags for analytics and marketing approvals and are read only by our script to respect your preferences.
If third-party analytics or advertising platforms are integrated in the future, they will be listed here with name, provider, purpose, expiry, and type before activation.
6. Retention periods
Strictly necessary session cookies expire when you close the browser. Consent records may persist up to twelve months to avoid repetitive prompts. Analytics cookies, when used, commonly expire between six and twenty-four months depending on vendor defaults; we configure the shortest practical window.
7. Legal bases
For visitors in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, non-essential cookies rely on consent as defined in the GDPR and ePrivacy rules. Strictly necessary cookies are used under our legitimate interests in providing a secure service or, where applicable, legal obligations.
For New Zealand visitors, we follow transparency duties under the Privacy Act 2020 and fair information handling principles.
8. Third-party recipients
When analytics or marketing tools are enabled with your consent, respective providers act as processors or independent controllers depending on their terms. We review data processing agreements and international transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses.
9. Browser controls
You can delete cookies and block future storage through browser settings, private browsing modes, or industry opt-out pages. Blocking all cookies may prevent checkout or consent storage from working correctly.
10. Global Privacy Control and similar signals
Where technically feasible and legally required, we honour automated preference signals that communicate a request to opt out of sale/sharing or targeted advertising. Implementation details will be updated as standards mature.
11. Updates
We revise this Policy when we add tools, change vendors, or respond to regulatory guidance. Material changes will be reflected in the date above and may be announced via the cookie banner.
12. Consent withdrawal and re-prompting
You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies by clearing site data, using browser controls, or contacting us for manual assistance. We may re-display the banner after substantive policy or vendor changes so you can reaffirm choices.
13. Employee and contractor access
Only authorised personnel and subprocessors bound by confidentiality may access consent logs or analytics exports. Access is logged where systems support auditing.
14. Research and product development
Aggregated, de-identified statistics derived from analytics cookies may inform catalogue decisions. Such datasets do not identify individuals without additional information.
