Cookie Policy
Last revised: 10 November 2026
This page explains how DLLHelp uses cookies and related technologies and how visitors can control optional use. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies do
A cookie is a small piece of information stored by a browser. Websites can also use local storage and other identifiers. These technologies can remember a preference, protect a browsing session or measure how a site is used. Some are needed for a requested function; others are optional and require a separate choice where the law demands it.
2. The services involved
Essential website functions. Cookies or comparable storage may support secure requests, session integrity, protection against abusive traffic and retention of your consent choice. Where Cloudflare uses a security challenge or bot-protection mechanism, it may set technical identifiers necessary to operate that protection. The exact identifiers can depend on the security feature presented to the visitor.
Google Analytics 4. GA4 is used for audience measurement. When enabled and consented to, it may use identifiers in the _ga family, such as _ga and property-specific variants. The precise cookie names, browser lifetime and event collection depend on the active configuration. Analytics cookies are not essential for reading articles and should not be set before the legally required consent.
Newsletter. Subscribing to email updates is a separate voluntary action. The newsletter subscription does not, by itself, authorize optional analytics cookies or marketing identifiers. Technical protection for the subscription form may require strictly necessary functionality.
Third-party downloads. When you follow a link to an external software publisher, its website may set its own cookies. DLLHelp does not control the other site's cookie policy.
We do not describe hypothetical advertising partners as active cookie providers. If advertising or additional embedded content is introduced, the provider details and consent choices must be updated.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Typical function | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, request integrity, essential functionality, recording a consent preference | Operates only to the extent necessary for the service |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 audience measurement | Optional, subject to required consent |
| Additional services | Any future advertising, media embeds or other non-essential functionality | Must be disclosed and controlled before activation |
Not all visitors receive the same security cookies. The categories above describe the site services, not a claim that every possible cookie is placed in every browser.
4. Your choices
The cookie interface should provide clear Accept, Reject and Customize choices for optional technologies. Visitors should also be able to change or withdraw consent through a persistent Cookie Settings option in the site's footer. Optional analytics must remain off until the applicable consent has been obtained. Rejecting it must not prevent ordinary access to articles and guides.
You may also delete or block cookies using browser settings. Doing so can reset your preference or interrupt a requested session. Browser controls are an additional measure, not a substitute for a site consent mechanism when one is required.
5. How long cookies last
Cookie duration is not uniform. A session identifier may disappear when the session ends; a preference cookie may persist until its configured expiry; a provider may update the duration of analytics cookies when the site is used. Cloudflare security identifiers can differ according to the active challenge or protection feature. Exact names and lifetimes must be confirmed from the deployed site and its settings, rather than reproduced from an unrelated template.
6. Consent and changing technologies
Consent to analytics can be withdrawn without unsubscribing from the newsletter, and vice versa. Consent choices must not be inferred from scrolling, closing a notice or visiting an unrelated page. Changes to cookies, analytics configuration or third-party services may require the consent interface and this policy to be updated.
