Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2025
What we store
This site does not set browser cookies. We use browser local storage — a similar technology — to save small pieces of data on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is never sent to our servers automatically.
Local storage items
| Key | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
dd_wf_v4 | Saves your due-diligence checklist progress so it persists between visits. This is essential for the core functionality of the site. | Until manually cleared |
cookie_consent | Records whether you have accepted or declined this cookie notice, so we don’t show it again. | Until manually cleared |
What we do not use
We do not use any tracking, analytics, advertising, or third-party cookies or local storage items.
How to manage or delete stored data
You can clear local storage at any time through your browser:
- Chrome / Edge: DevTools → Application → Local Storage → right-click and clear
- Firefox: DevTools → Storage → Local Storage → delete entries
- Safari: Develop menu → Show Web Inspector → Storage → Local Storage
Clearing dd_wf_v4 will reset your checklist progress. Clearing cookie_consent will cause the cookie notice banner to reappear.
Legal basis
The dd_wf_v4 item falls under the “strictly necessary” exemption of the ePrivacy Directive because it is essential for the service you explicitly request (saving checklist progress). No consent is legally required for this item, though we still inform you about it transparently.
Changes to this policy
If we introduce new storage items we will update this page and the “last updated” date above.
