Cookie notice
A complete list of what dopashift.com stores in your browser, what each item does and how long it lasts, with the switch to turn analytics on or off. The list is short because the site is built to need very little.
Two analytics cookies, opt-in
Google Analytics sets _ga and _ga_ cookies only after you allow it. No advertising or social cookies, ever.
Two local storage items
Your analytics choice and where you came from, in your browser only. Neither identifies you and neither is sent anywhere until you send the form.
No third-party tracking
No pixels, no retargeting, no session replay, no chat widget. The footer and this page can switch analytics off.
Global Privacy Control honoured
If your browser sends the signal, analytics stays off and we do not ask.
Your choices
Analytics is off until you allow it. Use the control below to change your answer; it takes effect at once and the site works the same either way.
Google Analytics
Counts visits and which guides get read. Advertising features are off and cannot be turned on from here.
Not installed on this site yet
Your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, so analytics is off and will stay off unless you allow it here.
Essential items, listed below, cannot be switched off because the site does not work without them, but none of them tracks you.
What a cookie is here
A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Local storage is a similar space that stays in your browser and is never sent automatically. This notice covers both, because the law and your privacy do not care which one is used.
Every cookie and storage item
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Lasts | Group |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ds_consent | Local storage | dopashift.com | Remembers whether you allowed analytics, with the date you chose, so we do not ask again. | Until you clear it | Essential |
ds_attr | Local storage | dopashift.com | The page you landed on, the referring site and any campaign tags in the URL, so an enquiry can be matched to the channel it came from. Sent only inside the contact form. | Until you clear it | Essential |
cf-turnstile-response | Form field, not a cookie | Cloudflare Turnstile | A one-time token proving the form was sent by a person. Turnstile sets no cookie on this site; its pre-clearance option, which would set one, is off. | Seconds | Essential |
_ga | Cookie | Google Analytics | Tells one browser from another with a random ID. | 2 years | Analytics, opt-in |
_ga_<id> | Cookie | Google Analytics | Keeps the session state for this property. | 2 years | Analytics, opt-in |
Cloudflare serves the site and at the time of writing sets no cookie on it. If we turn on a Cloudflare security feature that needs one, for example __cf_bm for bot management, it is strictly necessary and this table is updated with it. Browsers cap first-party cookie lifetimes on their own: Chrome at 400 days and Safari at 7 days if you do not return.
Third parties
Google receives analytics data only after you allow it, and only with advertising storage denied. Cal.com, which handles call bookings, sets its own cookies on its own domain when you open the booking page, under Cal.com's notice. No other third party stores anything in your browser from this site.
Browser controls
You can also clear or block storage in your browser settings. Blocking local storage removes your saved choice, so the analytics card appears again on the next visit. Blocking all cookies does not break the site. Turning on Global Privacy Control in a browser or extension is honoured as a no to analytics on every visit.
Changes
This list is kept in step with the code. If a cookie or storage item is added or removed, the table and the date at the top change with it.
