1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
Country Desire uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
Required for the Site to function properly. These cannot be disabled.
- cd-theme — Stores your preferred theme (light/grey). Persistent, localStorage.
Functional Cookies
Enhance your experience by remembering your choices.
- Selected country/income preferences — Stored in-session only; never sent to our servers.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
- _ga / _gid — Google Analytics cookies for tracking page views and sessions. Expire after 2 years / 24 hours respectively.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control how third parties use their cookies.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu.
- Opt-out tools: For Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Clear storage: You can clear localStorage and cookies at any time through your browser's developer tools or settings.
Note: Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site (e.g., your theme preference will not be saved).
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. We respect DNT signals where technically feasible and will limit analytics tracking accordingly.
