Dusk & Doze

Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Dusk & Doze ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies on duskanddoze.com (the "Site"). We know cookie policies can be dry reading, so we've kept this one as clear and straightforward as possible.

What Are Cookies and localStorage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. localStorage is a similar browser technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, without an expiration date, until it is manually cleared. We use both types of technology in limited ways, described below.

How We Use These Technologies

Consent Banner Preference (localStorage)

When you first visit Dusk & Doze, you'll see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Once you make a choice, we store that decision in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your preference so you aren't asked again every time you visit the Site. This storage item does not track your browsing behavior — it simply records "accepted" or "declined" so the banner doesn't reappear unnecessarily.

Analytics Cookies

If you accept cookies via our consent banner, we may load analytics cookies from a third-party analytics provider. These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which sleep and relaxation reviews are most popular, how long people spend reading buying guides, and which pages could be improved. Analytics data is used only in aggregate form to improve our content and Site experience.

If you decline cookies, analytics scripts and cookies are not loaded, and no analytics tracking occurs during your visit.

Third-Party Cookies

Our analytics provider may set its own cookies on your device when analytics is enabled. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective provider's own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control the specific data practices of third-party analytics services beyond the configuration we choose (such as anonymizing IP addresses where available).

We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking cookies on this Site.

Essential Storage

Aside from the consent preference described above, we do not use strictly necessary cookies that require separate consent under applicable law, as no essential login, cart, or transactional functionality currently requires cookies on this Site.

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time using any of the following methods:

Please note that clearing your browser data will reset your consent choice, meaning you will be asked again the next time you visit the Site.

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the "Privacy," "Security," or "Cookies" section of your browser's preferences. Disabling cookies entirely may affect how some parts of the Site function, though the core reading experience of our reviews and guides will remain accessible.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
