Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how HVDC World uses cookies and similar technologies. For how we handle personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

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

Categories we use

• Strictly necessary — required for the site to work, including authentication and session cookies used when you sign in to the free HVDC World Map. These do not require consent.
• Analytics — Google Analytics, used only after you accept analytics cookies, to understand usage and improve the Service.
• Preferences — remember choices such as your cookie consent.

Managing your preferences

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. We use Google Consent Mode, so analytics storage stays disabled until you consent. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the hvdc-consent preference in your browser, or by adjusting your browser’s cookie settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Service (such as signing in) from working.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties we use, including Google (analytics) and our authentication provider. Those parties’ own privacy and cookie notices apply to data they process.

Changes

We may update this policy; the latest version will always appear on this page. Questions? Reach us via our contact page.
