Cookie policy
These are the cookies and browser storage that Tumble Dryer Picks may use, along with third-party services that load only after you take action. This list is maintained from a single register, checked on the site on September 30, 2026.
Essential for the site
No consent required: used only to make the features you request work.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cookie_notice_accepted | Cookie | This site | Remembers that you have read the cookie information banner so it is not shown again. | 183 days |
qos-cmp | Session storage | This site | The models you select to compare. | When the tab closes |
qos-selection | Browser storage | This site | Your “My shortlist” list. It stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere; only the “My shortlist” page requests current data from the site for the models it contains. | Until you clear it |
qos-selection-rappel | Browser storage | This site | Remembers that you dismissed the “You saved N models” reminder. | Until you clear it |
qos-fit-… | Browser storage | This site | Your answer to “Is this model right for you?” on a product page, so we don't ask you again. | Until you clear it |
qos-poll-… | Session storage | This site | Remembers that you've already answered an article's poll. | When the tab closes |
qg-bar-off | Session storage | This site | Remembers that you've closed a guide's reading bar on mobile, so it won't appear again. | When the tab closes |
Site audience measurement
No consent required: measured by the site itself, with no cookies, no stored IP addresses, no identifier tracking you across visits, and never shared with third parties. It counts page views, visits, reading time in bands and clicks to retailers.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
qos_visite | Session storage | This site | Marks the start of a visit in this tab. No value is sent: the site receives only a “visit started” signal. | When the tab closes |
qos_profond | Session storage | This site | Marks when a visit includes more than one page, to count single-page visits. | When the tab closes |
Layout shift reports | Sent without storage | This site | When page content shifts beyond a threshold while displayed, the browser sends a single report: the page address (without parameters), the size of the shift, the screen width and the technical names of the elements that moved. Used only to fix our pages. | The site's last 300 reports |
Third-party services, only after you take action
None of these services load when you open a page.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
YouTube | Video player | Google (YouTube) | Only if you click “Play video”: nothing loads from YouTube before that click. The player loads in “privacy-enhanced mode” (youtube-nocookie.com); once playback starts, YouTube may set its own cookies and store data under its policy. | Under YouTube's policy |
Retailers and affiliate platforms | Cookie on the retailer's site | The selected retailer | Only if you click a retailer link: you leave this site, and the retailer or its affiliate platform may set a cookie on its own site to attribute any commission. This site sets no affiliate cookies itself. | Under the retailer's policy |
