1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, measure traffic, and (in the case of advertising and affiliate cookies) track click activity across sites. Similar technologies — like local storage and pixels — work the same way and are covered by this policy.
2. Why we use them
- Keep the Site running (e.g. remembering you've dismissed the promo bar).
- Remember preferences such as the active coupon filter or saved deals.
- Understand how the Site is used in aggregate, so we can fix slow pages and surface popular deals.
- Attribute outbound clicks to affiliate networks so we earn commission on qualifying purchases.
3. Categories of cookies
- Strictly necessary — required for the Site to function. Cannot be turned off.
- Functional — remember your preferences. Set only with consent.
- Analytics — measure usage. Set only with consent; IPs are anonymised.
- Affiliate / Advertising — credit outbound clicks to partners. Set only with consent.
4. Cookies we set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
dgc_session | Necessary | Maintains your browsing session. | Session |
dgc_consent | Necessary | Stores your cookie preferences. | 12 months |

5. Third-party cookies
When you click an outbound link, the destination merchant or affiliate network may set cookies on your device. We don't control these — please check the relevant site's cookie notice. Common partners include affiliate networks operated by independent companies; their cookies typically last 30–90 days and identify the referrer (us).
6. Managing cookies
You can change or revoke your consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer or by clearing your dgc_consent cookie. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely — see your browser's help docs for instructions. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the Site.
7. Your consent
The first time you visit the Site we show a banner asking which categories of cookies you accept. Strictly necessary cookies are always on. Other categories load only after you opt in. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out.
