Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
Cookies and Browser Storage
Cookies store small pieces of information in your browser and can be sent with requests to a website. Local storage and session storage also keep information in your browser, but are separate from cookies. This site uses browser storage for preferences and selected tool and form features.
What This Site Stores in Your Browser
The website uses browser storage to:
- Remember whether you accepted or declined optional analytics
- Remember when you dismiss the TAREOps announcement
- Save the MCP inventory you enter so you can continue in the same browser
- Carry details from a scoping form into the contact form during your session
Analytics Cookies and Preferences
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand website usage. These cookies collect information about:
- Pages you visit on our site
- Time spent on each page
- How you arrived at our site
- What you click on while visiting
Cookie Names: _ga, _ga_*
Duration: Up to 2 years
Datadog Browser Diagnostics
If you accept optional analytics, Datadog collects browser performance, page and resource timing, and technical errors. It may use the _dd_s session cookie to associate diagnostics within a browsing session. Session replay and automatic interaction capture are disabled. Query values and fragments are removed from telemetry URLs.
Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights
If you accept optional analytics, Vercel Web Analytics measures page usage and Speed Insights measures page performance. These services do not use analytics cookies. Our code removes URL query values and fragments and omits telemetry when a referring URL cannot be safely redacted.
Consent Preference Storage
We remember your choice in browser local storage:
- tko-telemetry-consent: Stores your optional analytics and diagnostics choice
- Duration: No automatic expiration; retained until this site's stored data is cleared
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Through Our Cookie Banner
You can accept or decline optional Google Analytics, Datadog browser diagnostics, and Vercel usage and performance analytics. These services are disabled until you accept. Use the button below to change your choice. Declining stops optional collection; it does not delete information that a provider has already received or necessarily remove existing browser cookies. Browser settings can remove those cookies. An older Google-only preference may remain under tko-cookie-consent until you clear this site's stored data.
Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party services that set their own cookies:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics and performance measurement
- Datadog: For optional browser reliability and performance diagnostics; session replay is disabled
- Vercel: For hosting and optional usage and page performance analytics
These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We recommend reviewing their policies for more information.
Fonts are served with the website; page views do not request fonts from Google Fonts.
Data Processing and Storage
Cookie data is processed according to our Privacy Policy. Key points:
- Optional analytics and diagnostics follow your saved choice
- We disable Google advertising signals and personalization in our website configuration
- Consent storage remains in your browser until cleared; vendor cookies have their own lifetimes
- You can request deletion of collected personal information by contacting privacy@tkoresearch.com
Your analytics choice does not disable website hosting, form processing or server-side security logging. Research canary request logging is described in our Privacy Policy.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
