What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can keep preferences, remember consent, or help us understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
Software Dev Space uses essential cookies required for basic operation (including remembering your cookie choice) and optional analytics cookies that run only if you Accept on the banner. Rejecting optional cookies does not block browsing, forms, or reading session pages. Details of our personal-data practices are in the privacy notice.
Types we use
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| softwaredevspace_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject choice for the cookie banner | 1 year | Software Dev Space (first-party) |
| sds_session_essential | Maintains basic security and form continuity during a visit | Session | Software Dev Space (first-party) |
| sds_analytics_id | Optional aggregate visit measurement when accepted | 6 months | Software Dev Space (first-party analytics) |
Essential vs analytics
Essential cookies are needed for consent storage and reliable form behaviour. Analytics cookies help us see which journal articles and desk pages are read most often; they are disabled until you Accept.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts may cause your browser to contact Google Fonts. We do not load third-party advertising cookies. If we add a new third-party tool that sets cookies, we will update this table.
Managing cookies
Use the on-site banner to Accept or Reject optional cookies. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may reset your consent banner on each visit but will not remove access to public pages.
Impact of disabling
If you Reject or clear analytics cookies, the site continues to work. We simply receive less information about aggregate traffic. Essential consent storage may reappear until you choose again.
