Owner and legal review. This page describes the analytics control that is built into the site. It is not a claim that the text satisfies every privacy law.

Analytics does not load until a visitor chooses Accept. Reject is stored on that browser and is respected. Advertising storage, ad personalisation, and advertising user data stay off. The site does not send email addresses, tip text, passwords, or OAuth values to analytics.

The choice itself is stored locally under the name td_analytics_consent. Login and security cookies used by the newsroom are separate and are not an analytics choice.

Public forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to reduce abuse and automated submissions. That check is essential security functionality. Rejecting analytics does not turn it off, and the analytics choice does not control it. Cloudflare describes the check in its privacy policy and in the Turnstile privacy documentation. This page does not make a legal-compliance finding or a data-residency claim.

If no measurement ID is configured, the analytics tag is not loaded at all. Search Console and publishing systems are not described here as a substitute for a privacy review.
