1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember things like your login session and preferences.

2. Essential Cookies (Always On)

These are required for the site to work and don't need consent:

Session and security cookies (keeping you logged in, protecting forms)
"Remember me" on login
Vote limiting, to prevent vote spamming on deals
Remembering if you've signed up for our newsletter

We also use your browser's local storage for preferences such as dark mode and your cookie choice itself.

3. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which deals and pages are popular. It sets first-party cookies (names starting with _ga). We don't use any advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

On our UK site, these cookies are only set after you accept them via the cookie banner. If you choose "Essential only", Google Analytics runs without cookies.

4. Third-Party Cookies

When you click a deal link to a retailer such as Amazon or Walmart, that retailer may set its own cookies to track the referral. These are controlled by the retailer and subject to their own privacy policies.

5. Managing Your Choice

On our UK site you can change your analytics cookie choice at any time:

You can also view, delete, or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may break login and voting. For more on managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.
