Cookie Policy

30 March 2026 · Applies to first-party uk10bestdeals.co.uk documents.

Small cookies and localStorage keys remember age approval, puzzle completion, and cookie-banner outcomes. Any future analytics tags load only after Accept. Names, purpose, lifespan, and controls follow.

1. Cookies vs localStorage

HTTP cookies travel with requests; localStorage persists in the profile until cleared manually. We treat both as “local storage” for transparency.

2. Categories

Strictly necessary

Cookies dd_ie_age and dd_ie_entry pair with local keys dd_ie_guide_age_v1, dd_ie_guide_entry_v1, and dd_ie_cookie_pref. Combined, they drive the age gate, slider check, and remembered banner choice. Clearing them resets the entry flow.

Optional / analytics-ready

Measurement scripts (if added later) respect Accept. “Essential only” keeps optional reads off this static stack wherever technically feasible.

3. Lifetimes

Consent-related cookies aim for ~12 months where the browser respects max-age. You can wipe data faster through site settings in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.

4. Third parties on the network

Google Fonts may contact Google’s servers — consult their policy for retention. Operator tabs you open later set unrelated cookies we cannot view or delete.

5. Controls

Use the on-page Accept / Essential-only buttons first. Browser-wide blocking may break layout. GDPR rights are outlined in the Privacy Policy.
