Definitions and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. Pixels, tags, and scripts can serve similar purposes. Local storage can persist data such as your consent record without sending it to our servers until other tools read it. We describe everything below under the umbrella term “cookies” where the effect is comparable for you as a visitor.
Quick reference: strictly necessary cookies keep security and consent memory working; analytics and marketing load only when you switch them on or choose Accept all in the banner or settings panel.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to remember your choices, protect forms from simple automated abuse, measure aggregate traffic when you allow analytics, and support marketing measurement when you allow marketing. We avoid using optional cookies for purposes you have not selected, and we review vendors periodically to confirm their data use matches our agreements.
Categories in detail
Strictly necessary
These cookies and storage entries are required for the website to function. Examples include storing your cookie consent state, maintaining session continuity for multi-step flows, and rate-limiting repeated submissions. They are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure service and, where EU law requires consent for non-essential storage, we still separate them clearly from optional categories.
Analytics
If enabled, analytics technologies may collect pseudonymous identifiers, device category, coarse region, and navigation paths. We use this information to understand which pages load slowly, where errors occur, and how audiences move through content in aggregate. We do not use analytics to make automated decisions about you personally.
Marketing
If enabled, marketing cookies may measure whether a campaign led you to visit the site or help social platforms recognise that a browser has seen an advertisement. We only activate these tools when you opt in, and you can disable them later through Cookie settings.
Third-party advertising or measurement providers (for example Google Ads conversion or remarketing tags, or Google Analytics when used for analytics) may read or set cookies according to their documentation and your choices. In Canada, such technologies are used in line with our privacy policy, this cookie policy, and your consent selections in our banner or Cookie settings.
Duration and identifiers
Consent preferences are stored locally under the key tdde_cookie_consent_v1. Individual third-party cookies may have their own lifetimes described in vendor documentation. Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies expire according to their max-age attributes, which we configure to reasonable defaults when we deploy a tool.
How to manage preferences
Use the cookie banner on first visit, open Cookie settings from the footer at any time, or clear site data for smyxaronghol.world in your browser to reset the banner. Browser settings may also block third-party cookies; blocking strictly necessary storage can break consent memory until you allow the site again. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that was lawful when it occurred.
Changes
We revise this policy when we add tools or change categories. The date shown in the hero reflects the calendar day when you load the page, helping you notice when you last reviewed the document alongside substantive edits we publish here.
Questions
Email ask@smyxaronghol.world or write to 169 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R 2L3, Canada. Include your browser type and a short description of the issue if a particular cookie category does not behave as expected.
