Cookie policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit — for example, whether you have already accepted a cookie notice, or which pages you have read. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting; others are set by third-party services the site uses.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some sites, though DDG will remain fully readable if you choose not to accept analytics cookies.
Cookies we use
What we do not use
DDG does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, social media cookies, or any cookies associated with retargeting or behavioural advertising. We carry no advertising and have no commercial relationship with the companies we cover that would require tracking of any kind.
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time. Withdrawing consent for statistics cookies will stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visit from that point forward. It will not affect data already collected.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
