Dopamine Chic uses a few cookies and some storage on your device. The shop needs some of them to work; those don’t need your consent. Ad and statistics cookies are used only if you allow them in the consent window. You can change your choice at any time under “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser and receives back with every page you open. Local storage works similarly, but the browser doesn’t send it with every request. The rules below cover both.
Needed for the shop (no consent required)
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| dc_site | Dopamine Chic | Remembers the country and language version you chose, so the start page sends you there | 1 year |
| dc_tz | Dopamine Chic | Your device’s time zone, for local times and the city your parcel won’t reach | 1 year |
| dc_bag | Dopamine Chic | The items in your bag and when their 30-minute reservation ends | Until the reservation ends, at most 1 day |
| dc_buys | Dopamine Chic | What you “bought” in campaigns still running, so stock and purchase limits work | Until those campaigns end, at most 7 days |
| dc_id | Dopamine Chic | A random ID that links your device to your game data on our server | 400 days, renewed on every visit |
| dc_cookies | Dopamine Chic | Remembers your choices in the consent window | 13 months |
Stored on your device (no consent required)
The site uses this data in your browser. Your game data itself is kept on our server, linked to the device ID above; the privacy policy explains how.
| Name | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|
| dc_hurry (local storage) | When you last pressed “Hurry the courier” on each shared parcel or gift, so each can be hurried once an hour | 1 hour |
| Service worker | Only if you turn on notifications: receives and shows them | Until you turn notifications off |
Ads (only with your consent)
Google sets these to show and measure ads, and to personalise them if you allow that. Google’s list of cookies explains each one.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| __gads | Lets the site show Google ads and measure them | 13 months | |
| IDE | Google (doubleclick.net) | Shows personalised ads on sites outside Google | 13 months |
| id | Google (doubleclick.net) | Remembers that you turned off personalised ads | 13 months |
| DSID | Google (doubleclick.net) | Respects your Google ad settings if you are signed in to Google | 2 weeks |
Google and its certified ad partners may set further cookies; the consent window lists every partner and lets you refuse each one. If you refuse, the site shows only non-personalised ads. Google may still use cookies for them, but only to limit how often an ad is shown, to count ads in total and to fight fraud, not to personalise ads.
Statistics (only with your consent)
If you switch on “Statistics” in the consent window, Google Analytics sets these cookies so that repeat visits are counted correctly.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells a returning visitor from a new one, with a random number | 60 days |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit for the same count | 60 days |
Without your consent no statistics cookie is set: Google Analytics then receives only a short anonymous signal for each page view, as the privacy policy explains. Switching “Statistics” off deletes these cookies.
Managing cookies
- Change your ad and statistics choices: “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
- Delete everything Dopamine Chic stored: “Clear my data” on your account page, or your browser’s settings for this site.
- Blocking the cookies the shop needs will stop the bag, checkout and language choice from working properly.
