What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and, when you allow them, understand how pages are used.

How we use cookies

We use essential cookies required for basic site operation (such as remembering your cookie preference) and, only if you accept, optional analytics cookies that help us see aggregate visit patterns. Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to pages, forms, or content.

Cookies table

Name Purpose Duration Provider
dataserviceportal_cookie_consent Stores your accept or reject choice for optional cookies Until cleared (localStorage) Data Service Portal
dsp_session Maintains basic session integrity for form submissions when enabled by hosting Session Data Service Portal
_dsp_analytics Optional aggregate page-view measurement after consent 6 months Data Service Portal

Managing and disabling cookies

On first visit you can Accept or Reject optional cookies via the banner. You can clear site data in your browser settings to reset that choice. Browser controls also let you block cookies entirely; essential site features may still work, but preference memory will not.

Third-party cookies

Embedded fonts may be requested from Google Fonts. That request can expose your IP address to Google under their terms. We do not embed third-party advertising cookies. Image hosts serving illustrative photographs may receive standard request logs when images load.

Impact of disabling

Disabling optional analytics cookies does not remove access to assessments information, contact forms, or legal pages. Disabling all cookies may require you to set consent again on a later visit.
