This Cookie Policy explains how Dewy Atlas ("we", "us", "our", dewyatlas.com) uses cookies, localStorage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our skincare and face care review website. By continuing to use our site, you acknowledge the practices described below, and you remain in control of your choices at all times.
What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device through your browser. LocalStorage is a similar browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to save small amounts of data directly on your device without an expiration date, unless it is manually cleared. Both technologies help websites remember information about your visit or preferences.
Our Consent Banner and LocalStorage
When you first visit Dewy Atlas, you will see a cookie consent banner asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, specifically analytics cookies. Your response — whether you click "Accept" or "Decline" — is saved in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to remember your choice so the banner does not reappear on every page you visit.
- If you click "Accept", a value is stored in localStorage indicating your consent, and analytics cookies are then allowed to load.
- If you click "Decline", a value is stored in localStorage indicating your refusal, and no analytics cookies will be set on your device.
- No personal profile or identifying information is stored in this localStorage entry — it simply records your preference (accepted or declined) and the date of your choice.
Types of Cookies and Storage We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Storage
This includes the localStorage entry that remembers your cookie consent choice. This is essential for the website to function properly and respect your preferences, and it does not require separate consent since it is necessary for the site to operate as intended.
2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
If you accept cookies via our consent banner, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use Dewy Atlas. These cookies help us see which articles, product reviews, and skincare guides are most popular, how visitors navigate between pages, and how we can improve the overall experience of the site. Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent, and they are never set if you decline or if you have not yet made a choice.
Information collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and used to improve our content, site structure, and user experience. We do not use analytics cookies to build individual advertising profiles.
Third-Party Cookies
Our analytics provider(s) may set their own cookies on your device once you have accepted cookies through our consent banner. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of those analytics providers. We selected our analytics partners based on their reputation for privacy-conscious data handling, but we encourage you to review their individual policies if you would like more detail about how they process data.
We do not knowingly use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or social media tracking pixels on Dewy Atlas.
How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent
You are always in control of your cookie preferences. Since your consent choice is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than in a long-lived cookie, you can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's site data for dewyatlas.com. Once cleared, the cookie consent banner will reappear the next time you visit, allowing you to make a new choice.
Steps to clear localStorage and cookies vary by browser, but generally you can:
- Open your browser settings or preferences menu.
- Navigate to the privacy, security, or site data section.
- Search for or locate "dewyatlas.com" in the list of stored site data.
- Select the option to clear cookies, site data, or localStorage for this domain.
- Refresh the Dewy Atlas website to see the consent banner again.
Alternatively, most browsers allow you to clear all browsing data (cookies, cache, and site storage) at once through a "Clear browsing data" option, typically found under history or privacy settings.
Browser Controls
In addition to our on-site consent banner, you can manage or block cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or be notified whenever a cookie is set. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of Dewy Atlas or other websites.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no industry-standard way to respond to these signals, Dewy Atlas does not currently alter its data collection practices when it detects a Do Not Track signal. Instead, we rely on the consent choice you make through our on-site banner.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or the tools we use. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and localStorage.
