About cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use a small number of first-party cookies to operate this portal and remember your choices. On a website published through it, the site's own visit counting and campaign attribution are set only after you allow analytics or marketing cookies in that site's cookie banner. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Fonts
Google Fonts are served from our own domain; your browser does not contact Google.
Where a workspace uses Adobe Fonts, the fonts are loaded from Adobe (use.typekit.net). Adobe receives your IP address and counts page views for font licensing. No cookies are set. The Adobe account is the workspace’s own.
Managing your choice
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the portal to work and can't be turned off. You can change your choice for any non-essential cookies at any time by clearing the twd_cookie_consent cookie in your browser, which will make the cookie banner appear again. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
