Analytics
We use analytics software to understand readership patterns. This may involve the use of cookies. Where analytics tools process personal data, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. You can opt out of analytics tracking via our cookie consent settings.
Cookies
We use cookies on this site. A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. For a full list of the cookies we use and why, see our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the button in the footer.
Third-party services
DDG is hosted on GoDaddy infrastructure. We may use third-party analytics services. These services may process data in countries outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
DDG does not sell data to third parties. DDG does not share data with advertisers — we do not carry advertising.
