Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit certain websites. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes on dat.ag:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of these cookies.
• Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies (specifically via Plausible Analytics) to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand website traffic, page popularity, and user behavior, allowing us to improve our site. All data collected by Plausible is anonymized and aggregated; we don't collect personal data.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies may be used to remember choices you make (such as your language preference) and provide enhanced, more personal features. (Currently, we primarily use localStorage for language preference, but may use functional cookies in the future).
• Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners (if any) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. (Currently, we do not use targeting cookies).

Your Consent Choices

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences at any time using our Cookie Manager tool, accessible via the settings icon usually found at the bottom-right of your screen. You have the following options:

• Accept All: You consent to the use of all cookies (Essential, Analytics, Functional, Targeting).
• Manage Preferences: You can selectively enable or disable Analytics, Functional, and Targeting cookies. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.

You can also usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit.

Third-Party Cookies

Currently, our primary third-party service using tracking mechanisms is Plausible Analytics, which is configured for privacy-focused, cookieless tracking where possible. If we integrate other third-party services in the future (e.g., embedded videos, social media feeds), they might set their own cookies. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of these third-party websites for more information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the Last Updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
