Cookies policy
How Tideway Audit & Assurance uses cookies on this website and how you can manage your preferences.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
We use essential cookies to remember your cookie consent choice and to keep basic site functions working. With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to learn which pages — such as engagement descriptions or field notes — are most helpful to visitors considering a financial audit.
Types of cookies
- Essential — required for consent storage and core navigation; these do not require optional consent.
- Analytics — optional measurement of aggregated page views; used only if you accept in the cookie banner.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| tideway_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject preference from the cookie banner | 1 year | Tideway Audit & Assurance (first-party, localStorage key mirrored for preference) |
| tideway_analytics | Aggregated page-view measurement when analytics are accepted | 6 months | Tideway Audit & Assurance |
| _ga (if enabled) | Distinguishes visitors for anonymous analytics | 2 years | Google Analytics (third-party, only if accepted) |
Managing and disabling cookies
On your first visit you can Accept or Reject optional cookies via the banner. Rejecting does not block browsing, contact forms, or engagement pages. You can clear stored preferences in your browser and reload the site to see the banner again. Browser settings also allow blocking or deleting cookies globally.
Third-party cookies
If you accept analytics, third-party providers such as Google may set cookies subject to their own policies. We do not load optional analytics scripts when you reject consent.
Impact of disabling
Disabling essential consent storage may cause the banner to reappear. Disabling analytics only affects our ability to understand aggregate traffic; it does not affect requesting an audit engagement.
For personal data handling more broadly, read our privacy policy.
