Cookie Guide: How This Site Tracks Your Visits
Last Updated:
Almost all websites leave small data files on your phone. We do exactly the same at dollarmediatechnologylimited.co.uk. Legally, we have to explain what these files are doing in the background.
The basics A cookie is basically a digital post-it note. Your web browser stores it. It cannot scan your hard drive or look at your photos. It just helps our server recognize you if you come back tomorrow. That way, you do not have to dismiss the exact same consent banner every single time you load a new page.
The mandatory files We run a few files that you simply cannot disable. They keep the site secure. They also stop the layout from breaking on your screen. Because these specific files are strictly necessary for the website to function at all, UK privacy laws say we do not need to ask for your permission to use them.
Ads and analytics We pay our server bills by running adverts via the Google Ads network. Google drops third-party cookies through our pages to track what you look at across the web. They rely on that browsing history to guess which adverts you actually want to see. We also use basic analytics to check which game reviews get the most clicks. However, we will never activate these tracking files unless you actively hit the accept button on our popup.
| Type | When it runs |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Always, to keep the site working |
| Analytics | Only after you tap Accept |
| Advertising | Only after you tap Accept |
Third parties involved Since Google Ads handles our monetization, they receive that tracking data directly. We have absolutely no control over their internal servers. Furthermore, if you click a link to download a game, the Google Play Store will inevitably set their own files the second you land on their page.
How to stop tracking You have full control over this. Hate personalized adverts? Head to the official Google Ads Settings page online and turn the personalization feature off completely.
Alternatively, open your browser settings. Whether you use Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, you can just hit the "clear cookies" button. You can block them entirely moving forward. Just be aware the site might act a bit glitchy if you do.
