How to manage

You can disable cookies in your browser settings without breaking anything on dankquan.net — the site works fine without them. Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all offer a per-site cookie switch inside their privacy settings. In Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → See all cookies and site data → search for dankquan.net → Remove. In Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data. In Safari on macOS: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Blocking cookies from ad networks in general is a good habit; we do not run any of those on this site.

Retention

The one cookie we set — a session cookie used to remember whether you dismissed the age-check banner — expires when you close the browser tab, not after a fixed number of days. The three cookies used by Cloudflare for bot filtering expire within 30 minutes of your last page view. We do not set persistent cookies that live for weeks or months. If you want to see everything a browser has stored from us at a given moment, open the developer tools (F12), go to the Application tab (Chrome) or Storage tab (Firefox), and look under Cookies for the dankquan.net entry — you should see at most four items.

Which we use

dankquan.net uses one first-party session cookie (age-check dismissal) and three technical cookies from Cloudflare (bot filtering, HTTPS redirect, geographic routing). We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels or social media widgets that set cross-site cookies. Our analytics tool, Plausible, is cookieless by design — it derives visitor counts from anonymised, in-memory data and it does not store anything on your device. There are no third-party pixels from Facebook, Google, TikTok or affiliate networks on this site; if a browser extension of yours reports one, it is a false positive.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device to remember something between page views — for example, whether you have already dismissed a banner. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work at all (session cookies, security cookies); others exist only for analytics or advertising and can be blocked without breaking anything. We only use the necessary ones. Browsers also support a related mechanism called local storage, which we do not use either — the only client-side state we keep is the age-check flag, and it lives inside the session cookie described above.
