No advertising, retargeting or cross-site behavioural tracking is active. Optional analytics stays off unless you choose it. The site uses essential browser storage to remember that choice and may rely on security or routing storage required by the hosting platform.
1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies and local-storage entries are small pieces of information a website or service can place on a device. Some are required to operate or protect a website. Optional analytics is activated only after you select that preference. TDC does not activate advertising or retargeting categories. When connected, Google Analytics receives consented measurement data; Google Signals and advertising personalization are disabled.
2. Necessary use
- Remembering whether you dismissed or opened the cookie preference notice.
- Maintaining security, routing and reliable delivery of the site through the hosting platform.
- Remembering temporary interface choices that you make on your device.
3. Optional analytics and advertising
First-party analytics and Google Analytics (when connected) are off by default and turns on only when you choose “Allow analytics”. They record limited visit information, including estimated active time and article progress to help TDC understand how the site is used. Advertising, retargeting and cross-site tracking remain off.
4. Your control
