What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and session state.

Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

• Session cookies: keep you signed in while you browse
• Preference cookies: remember your display settings (e.g. dark mode)

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

When you consent, we work with Google AdSense to display advertisements on Deallio. Google and its partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as DoubleClick cookies) to:

• Serve personalized ads based on your interests
• Measure ad performance and attribution
• Limit the number of times you see a particular ad
• Track user actions after clicking an ad

These cookies may track you across websites that use Google ad services. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use first-party Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use Deallio. Analytics tracks events including page views, Get Deal clicks, sign-ups, deal posts, votes, and searches. This data is collected under our first-party measurement ID and is not used for advertising.

Geo-targeted consent: visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown an opt-in prompt before any analytics data is collected. Visitors in the United States and the rest of the world have analytics enabled by default.

You can opt out of analytics at any time by using the Your Privacy Choices link in the site footer.

Managing Your Preferences

You can control advertising cookies in several ways:

• Google Ad Settings: Manage your Google advertising preferences or opt out of personalized Google ads.
• NAI Opt-Out: Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool lets you opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
• DAA Opt-Out: Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool provides additional opt-out choices.
• Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking necessary cookies may affect site functionality.

EEA, UK & Switzerland Users

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, personalized advertising requires your explicit consent under applicable data protection law (GDPR / UK GDPR). We are working to integrate a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to provide a compliant consent flow before personalized ads are served in these regions. Until that integration is complete, personalized ads are not served to users in these regions.

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are also subject to opt-in consent for users in these regions. You will be shown an opt-in prompt before any analytics data is collected. You may opt out at any time via Your Privacy Choices in the footer.
