Cookie Policy
Effective date: November 4, 2026
1. What this page covers
This page explains the cookies and similar browser storage that dcaffiliate.com uses, and how you control them. It applies to all visitors and supplements our Privacy Policy.
“Cookies” are small files a website stores in your browser. “Local storage” and “session storage” are similar browser features; session storage is erased when you close the tab. We refer to all of these together as “cookies” below.
2. The categories we use
- Strictly necessary / functional — needed for the site to work or to remember your privacy choice. Always on.
- Statistics — help us understand how the site is used. Used only after you accept.
- Preferences — we do not currently use any.
- Marketing — we do not use any. We do not run advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking cookies.
We do not currently use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service.
3. What is actually set
| Name | Set by | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cmplz_functional, cmplz_statistics, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_marketing and related cmplz_ items | Our consent tool (Complianz) | Functional | Record your cookie choice and whether you have seen the banner | 365 days |
| dc_session (session storage) | This website | Statistics | A random identifier that groups our own pseudonymized event records from a single visit; set only after you accept statistics, and contains no personal information | Until you close the tab, and deleted immediately if you withdraw consent |
| dc_finder:* (session storage) | This website | Functional | Keeps your Product Finder answers while the tab is open, so they survive a page refresh; never includes free text | Until you close the tab |
| wordpress_*, wordpress_logged_in_* | WordPress | Functional | Site administrators’ login only; not set for ordinary visitors | Session or up to 14 days |
Our caching system and page builder do not set tracking cookies for ordinary visitors.
4. Cookies set by merchants
When you click a merchant link, you leave our site. The merchant or affiliate network may then set its own cookies on its own website, for example to credit a sale to us. Those cookies are controlled by the merchant or network and described in their policies. We do not read or control them.
5. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept, Deny, or View preferences. Declining optional cookies does not affect access to any content. You can change your mind at any time:
- click “Manage Cookies” in the site footer, or
- use the privacy button that stays on screen.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a decline of optional cookies.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, the site will still work, but it cannot remember your privacy choice, so you may see the banner again.
6. Changes and contact
We update this page when the cookies we use change. Questions: info@dcaffiliate.com, DC Affiliate, Walnut, CA, United States. See also our Privacy Policy.
