This Cookie Policy explains how Admiresty Corporation (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar browser storage on DNSAFE websites: dnsafe.net, dnsafe.co, docs.dnsafe.net, status.dnsafe.net and the portals (portal.dnsafe.net, my.dnsafe.net). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Websites can also use “local storage” and “session storage”, which work similarly but are never sent to our servers automatically. We mostly use local and session storage, and only set analytics cookies if you agree to them.
Essential storage
Needed for the websites and portals to work. These can’t be switched off in our cookie banner.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
dns_cookie_consent_v2 | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choice so we don’t ask on every visit | Until you clear it or change your choice |
| Sign-in session | Session storage | Keeps you signed in to the portal, home dashboard and Threat Intel | Until you close the tab or sign out |
_GRECAPTCHA | Cookie (Google) | reCAPTCHA bot protection on sign-in and registration forms | Up to 6 months |
Preference storage
Remembers small choices you make. Stored only in your browser.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
dnsafe_theme | Local storage | Your light or dark theme choice |
dns_banner_* | Local storage | Hides an announcement banner after you dismiss it |
dns_status_v1 | Session storage | Caches the “System status” indicator for one minute |
_ref_co, lv_skip | Session storage | Remembers you came from dnsafe.co, and skips the “you’re leaving dnsafe.co” prompt if you asked us to |
| Onboarding progress | Local storage | Tracks your progress through the portal setup checklist |
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
If you choose Accept all (or turn on analytics under Manage preferences) on dnsafe.net, we load Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful. It uses IP anonymisation, and we don’t use it for advertising. If you choose Essential only, Google Analytics is never loaded.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Counts visits and distinguishes visitors | Up to 2 years |
Fonts and third-party content
Our pages load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts, which means your browser requests it from Google (your IP address is visible to Google for that request). Google Fonts does not set cookies.
What we don’t do
- No advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking pixels
- No selling or sharing of cookie data with advertisers or data brokers
- No browser fingerprinting or cross-site tracking
Managing your choices
You can change your analytics choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer of dnsafe.net. You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser settings. Clearing essential storage signs you out of the portals.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when we add or remove technologies, and change the “Last updated” date above.
