This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies sdtechnologist.com uses, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. The short version
- We use only the cookies and browser storage this site needs to work, plus two tools from other companies: a live chat and a booking calendar.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies.
- The live chat loads only when you click Start live chat. The booking calendar loads on the Free Consultation page. Each sets its own cookies, as described below.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, work in the same way. They help websites function, remember your choices and, for some sites, measure or advertise. We use them only for the first purposes.
3. What we use
| Name or provider | Purpose | Type | When it is set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Turnstile (provider policy) | Checks that a form is being filled in by a person, not a bot. May store a short-lived security token in your browser. | Strictly necessary (security) | Only on pages that have a form. |
| Security plugin | Keeps the site secure. Any cookie it sets applies to site administrators who sign in, not to ordinary visitors. | Strictly necessary (security) | Administrator sign-in only. |
| Tawk.to (live chat) (provider policy) | Runs the chat window and remembers your conversation. Sets its own cookies and local storage (for example names beginning with “twk” or “Tawk”). How long they last is set by Tawk.to. | Third-party (chat) | When you click Start live chat. |
| Calendly (booking calendar) (provider policy) | Shows our available times and takes your booking. Calendly sets its own cookies, and how long they last is set by Calendly. | Third-party (booking) | Only on the Free Consultation page, where the calendar is shown as soon as the page opens. |
The social-media icons in our footer are plain links. They do not load anything from those networks unless you click them. If we show a live Trustpilot rating widget in future, it will be listed here first.
4. Your choices
- Clear stored cookies. To remove cookies already stored, clear this site’s cookies in your browser.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary items may stop some features, such as our contact forms, from working.
- Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. We do not track visitors across sites, so these signals do not change what we do.
5. Your rights
This site does not show a cookie banner and does not block any cookies, because it sets no analytics or advertising cookies. The chat and booking tools above set their own cookies only when you use them or open the page that shows them. For visitors in the USA and Canada, our Privacy Policy explains your rights under state privacy laws, PIPEDA and, in Quebec, Law 25.
See our Privacy Policy for more.
6. Changes to this policy
If we change the tools we use, we will update this page, and the “Last updated” date above will change.
