1. Introduction
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and—only with your permission—support analytics or marketing activities.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. The data controller is Forestdetoxify, Porirua City Centre, Porirua 5022, New Zealand. Contact: admin@forestdetoxify.world.
2. How We Obtain Consent
When you first visit forestdetoxify.world, a banner offers three choices: Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot operate without them. Analytics and marketing cookies remain disabled until you opt in.
Your choice is stored in a consent cookie for twelve months. You may change preferences at any time by clearing site data or contacting us to reset your record.
3. Categories of Cookies
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for basic functions such as:
- Remembering cookie consent status
- Maintaining security during form submission
- Load balancing and fault tolerance on our servers
Legal basis: legitimate interest and, where applicable, contractual necessity. You cannot disable these through our banner because the site would not function correctly.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
When enabled, analytics cookies help us understand aggregated traffic patterns—for example which educational articles are read most often. We use this information to improve content structure, not to identify you personally in reports.
Typical data: anonymised or pseudonymised page views, session duration, device category, approximate region derived from IP. Retention by analytics tools is generally fourteen months unless stated otherwise in processor documentation.
Legal basis: your consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a).
3.3 Marketing Cookies
When enabled, marketing cookies may store preferences about educational topics you viewed, allowing us to suggest relevant program information in optional emails or on-site modules. We do not use fear-based messaging or sensitive health profiling.
Legal basis: your consent. You may withdraw consent without affecting access to purchased products.
4. Cookie Table
The following table summarises primary cookies we may set:
- tdde_cookie_consent — Stores JSON consent preferences — Duration: 365 days — Category: Strictly necessary
- session_id — Maintains temporary session for form security — Duration: Session — Category: Strictly necessary
- _analytics_id — Distinguishes unique visitors in aggregate reports — Duration: 390 days — Category: Analytics (consent required)
- _marketing_pref — Records topic interest tags for educational suggestions — Duration: 180 days — Category: Marketing (consent required)
5. Third-Party Cookies
We minimise third-party scripts. Where we embed external resources (such as icon fonts delivered via CDN), those providers may set technical cookies subject to their own policies. We select vendors with reasonable privacy practices and HTTPS delivery to avoid mixed content.
6. Browser Controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice and could limit form functionality. Consult your browser help pages for instructions on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
Do Not Track signals are not uniformly supported; we honour explicit choices made through our Cookie Settings panel as the authoritative record of consent.
7. Data Retention and Security
Cookie data resides on your device and, where applicable, on our servers in encrypted logs. We retain consent logs for twelve months to demonstrate compliance. Analytics aggregates are retained according to the schedules in our Privacy Policy.
Security measures include HTTPS-only pages, SameSite cookie attributes, and Secure flags on consent cookies where supported by your browser.
8. Your Rights
Under GDPR you may withdraw consent, request access to personal data derived from cookies, or request erasure where no overriding need exists. Submit requests to admin@forestdetoxify.world. We respond within one month.
9. Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add new tools or change providers. The date at the top indicates the current version. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of non-material changes; material changes will prompt renewed consent where required by law.
