Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 July 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember choices you've made, and, where permitted, provide aggregate information about how the site is used. This policy explains the cookies used on dataflow-tools.digital and how you can control them.
How we ask for consent
Rather than a large banner across the page, we use a small "Cookie preferences" link fixed to the corner of every page. Clicking it opens a preference panel where you can review each cookie category and choose which ones to allow. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled, as they are required for the site to operate.
Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for core site functionality, including remembering your cookie preferences themselves, which are stored under a cookie named dtd_consent. Without this category, the site would ask for your preferences on every single page load, which is not a better experience for anyone.
Analytics cookies
If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand, in aggregate and anonymised form, which guides are read and how visitors move through the site. This information is used only to inform which topics might be worth covering next. Analytics cookies are off by default and only activate if you opt in.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember small display choices you make while browsing, such as dismissed notices, so you don't have to repeat the same action on every visit. These are optional and are not used for tracking across other websites.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are not currently used on this site. The category exists in our preference panel to give you full visibility and control, and remains switched off unless our practices change, at which point this policy would be updated accordingly.
Managing or withdrawing consent
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link visible in the bottom corner of every page. You can also clear cookies directly through your browser settings, which will reset your preferences and prompt the panel again on your next visit. This approach is designed to comply with Australian privacy guidance and general good practice for informed, revocable consent.
