Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide reporting and personalization. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you visit) or "third-party" (set by other services embedded in the page).
dftacademy is committed to transparency about data collection. We do not set any first-party cookies. All cookies on this site are set by third-party services that we embed. We only load these third-party services after you have given explicit consent via our cookie consent banner.
The following table details all cookies that may be set on your device when you visit dftacademy:
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
NID |
Google AdSense | Stores preferences and other information such as preferred language, how many search results per page, and whether Google's SafeSearch filter is enabled. | Third-party | 6 months |
IDE |
Google AdSense | Used for serving targeted advertisements based on visitor behavior across websites. | Third-party | 13 months |
1P_JAR |
Gathers website statistics and tracks conversion rates for Google ads. | Third-party | 1 month |
In addition to third-party cookies, we use your browser's localStorage to store two preferences. These are not cookies — they are stored entirely on your device, are never sent to our servers, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
dft-theme |
Remembers your dark/light theme preference across pages. | Until cleared |
dft-cookie-consent |
Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted/rejected) so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit. | Until cleared |
In addition to cookies, we publish an ads.txt file at the root of our site. This is an industry-standard initiative by the IAB Tech Lab that increases transparency in the programmatic advertising ecosystem.
Our ads.txt file publicly declares which ad networks are authorized to sell digital advertising inventory on our website. Currently, it lists only Google AdSense (our publisher ID: pub-8041552506861975) as an authorized seller. This helps prevent ad fraud by ensuring that only verified networks can serve ads on our domain.
You have full control over cookies on this site:
If you reject cookies, the third-party scripts (Google AdSense) will not be loaded. This means:
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
