This Cookie Policy describes how Musclesbonejoint uses cookies, local storage, and comparable technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to browse after interacting with our consent banner, you confirm your choices regarding optional cookies.

2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you load a webpage. They help remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and—only with permission—understand how visitors use content. Local storage entries on our site store cookie consent preferences without identifying you across unrelated websites.
3. How we use consent
When you first visit, a banner offers three choices: Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings. Strictly necessary cookies always run because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and marketing cookies remain disabled until you opt in. You may change preferences anytime by clearing site data or contacting us to reset guidance.
4. Categories of cookies
4.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies support core functions such as remembering cookie choices, maintaining security tokens, and enabling form submission flows. They do not require consent under GDPR ePrivacy exemptions for essential services. You cannot disable them through our settings panel because the site would not operate correctly.
- tdde_cookie_prefs (local storage): Stores your cookie category selections. Retention: 12 months.
- Session identifiers (if enabled by hosting): Keep connections stable during a single visit. Retention: session.
4.2 Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns—such as which organization articles are read most—so we can improve educational content. They are placed only after you enable Analytics in Cookie Settings or choose Accept All. Data is aggregated where possible and not used to profile you for unrelated advertising.
Typical metrics include page views, approximate geography at city level, device type, and referral source. IP addresses may be truncated by analytics providers according to their documentation.
4.3 Marketing
Marketing cookies measure whether visitors who arrived from permitted campaigns engage with our contact page. We do not use manipulative messaging or sensitive targeting categories. These cookies remain off unless you consent. If you reject marketing cookies, campaign measurement is disabled while organic visits still work normally.
5. Similar technologies
We may use server-side logging that does not rely on cookies but still records technical metadata described in our Privacy Policy. Fonts and icon stylesheets loaded from content delivery networks may log IP addresses under provider terms; we select reputable vendors and minimize data shared.
6. Third-party cookies
When analytics or marketing tools are activated, their operators may set their own cookies subject to independent policies. We contractually require confidentiality and purpose limitation. A current list of subprocessors is available on request. We review vendors annually for compliance with Australian and EU expectations.
7. Retention
- Consent records: 12 months, then renewed when you interact with the banner again.
- Analytics cookies: typically 13 months maximum per industry standard settings we apply.
- Marketing cookies: typically 90 days unless a shorter period is configured.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through browser settings. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choices and could disrupt form features. Guidance for common browsers is available on official support pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
9. Your rights
Where GDPR applies, you may withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You also retain rights of access, erasure, and objection described in our Privacy Policy. Australian visitors may request information about how we handle data under the Privacy Act.
10. Updates
We update this Cookie Policy when we add tools or change categories. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. Significant changes trigger a renewed consent request where legally required.
