Deskstor uses cookies and similar technologies to make this information site work smoothly. This policy explains what these technologies are, the choices available to you and what happens when you adjust your browser settings.
How this site remembers you
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can remember basic choices, support page functions and provide information about how the site is being used. Deskstor does not use cookies to identify you as a particular person, but stored settings may keep some features consistent between visits.
Some cookies are needed for core website functions. These help the site load properly, remember your cookie choice and maintain basic security features. They cannot be switched off through the cookie settings on this site, although your browser can still block them.
Other cookies are optional. They may help us understand which pages are useful, detect repeated technical problems or remember choices you make while reading. We only use optional technologies where the information they provide supports the operation and improvement of Deskstor.
The analytics question
We do not use analytics to build a profile of your personal interests. If analytics tools are used, their purpose is to provide broad, aggregated information about page visits and site performance, such as which pages are read and whether links work correctly.
This information helps us keep the site accurate and easy to use. It does not give us a list of the pages you visited across other websites, and it is not used to follow you around the internet. You can still browse without accepting optional analytics cookies.
Scripts we do not control
Some pages may include content or scripts provided by another service. For example, an embedded map, video or social media element may operate according to that provider's own cookie policy. When you interact with the embedded element, the provider may receive information about your visit and use its own technologies to process it.
We do not control how third-party scripts operate once they are embedded. Their use is limited to the purpose for which the element is included, and we review the pages where they appear. You can avoid loading some third-party content by adjusting your browser settings or using a content blocker.
Your options
Your browser usually gives you control over cookies through its settings. You can allow all cookies, reject optional cookies or remove stored cookies. Blocking every cookie may stop parts of the site working, including the ability to remember your preferences.
If you use a private browsing window, stored cookies are generally removed when the window closes. This can make the site feel less personalised, but it does not affect the information you can read. If you want to manage cookies for a device used by others, use a separate browser profile or clear the site data when you finish.
You can also block particular technologies with browser extensions or device controls. Parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can help adults manage what is accessible on a shared family device, including unwanted scripts.
Policy revisions
We may update this policy when the site changes or its technical setup is revised. The version published on this page is the one that applies to your current visit. Significant changes will be reflected in the wording or date shown here.
If you have a question about this policy or the information it covers, our support inbox is the best place to start. Deskstor provides general information and does not sell goods or services.
