Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 4, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how DropRadar ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as your consent choice) over a period of time. Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, pixels, and web beacons — perform comparable functions and are treated the same way in this Policy.

2. Cookies We Use

We group cookies by purpose. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies via the banner shown on your first visit (and change your mind at any time — see Section 5).

2.1 Strictly Necessary (always on)

Required for the site to function. You cannot opt out because the site would not work without them.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties (such as embedded video players, social widgets, or analytics providers). We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information.

4. Do Not Track

Our site does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals at this time. We honor your consent choice made via the on-site banner and treat all users consistently in accordance with this Policy.

5. Managing Your Choice

  • Re-open the banner: clear the dropradar:cookies value from your browser's storage (Application → Local Storage in DevTools), then reload the page.
  • Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings (see aboutcookies.org).
  • Opt out of analytics: most providers offer opt-out tools — Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Ad-preference controls: youronlinechoices.eu (EU) · optout.aboutads.info (US).

Disabling essential cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working properly (for example, the age gate will re-appear on every visit).

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, by re-prompting your consent choice.
