Cookies Used on the NTDSS Website

By using the NTDSS website, you may receive first-party cookies (set directly by our website domain) as well as third-party cookies (set by external services integrated into our site). The categories below outline the types of cookies used:

  • Remembering Settings & Preferences: We use cookies to store your preferences during your visit. For example, a cookie is set to record whether you have acknowledged our cookie banner so it isn’t repeatedly displayed on subsequent visits.

  • Measuring Website Usage (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous data on how visitors interact with our site. This helps us ensure the website meets community needs and identify areas for improvement. Google Analytics tracks page views, visit durations, referral sources, and link clicks. It does not collect or store personal details such as your name or address.

  • Social Networks: NTDSS maintains active social media profiles (such as Facebook). We may embed widgets from these platforms to provide quick links or social streams, which can result in cookies being set by those networks.

  • Third-Party Services: We occasionally embed content from external platforms to enhance accessibility and information sharing (such as YouTube videos or online document viewers). These external services may set their own cookies when you view their embedded content on our site.
