Last Updated: July 1, 2026. How we use cookies and local storage to secure our platform and understand how you use our site.
Cookies are small data files placed on your device by websites you visit. They serve different purposes: keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, and helping site owners understand how visitors interact with their pages.
Desk Simplified uses a combination of browser cookies (set by HTTP response headers) and localStorage (a browser API) to manage consent and session state. Our consent preference — whether you accept or decline analytics — is stored in localStorage['ds_cookie_consent'].
These are essential and cannot be disabled. They include:
Authentication cookies — keep you logged into DS Workspace securely across page navigations. Set as HttpOnly, Secure cookies.
Cloudflare security cookies — detect and mitigate malicious bot traffic, DDoS attacks, and fraudulent requests before they reach our servers. Set automatically by Cloudflare's edge network.
CSRF tokens — protect your account from cross-site request forgery attacks on form submissions and API actions.
With your consent, we collect anonymized usage data on our marketing site — page views, session duration, referral sources, and feature interaction. This data helps us understand which parts of the site are most useful and where visitors drop off.
This data is never tied to individual users for advertising purposes and is never sold to third parties. You can opt in or out using the preferences widget above at any time.
You can update your analytics cookie preference at any time using the widget at the top of this page. Your choice is saved to your browser's local storage and respected on every subsequent visit.
You may also clear all cookies and site data by going to your browser settings. Note that clearing authentication cookies will sign you out of the DS Workspace platform. To contact us about cookie questions, contact us here.
