This Cookie Policy explains how Dram Verdict uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It covers cookies only — for how any information you send us directly (for example through the contact form) is handled, see the Privacy Policy.
About this Cookie Policy
Dram Verdict uses a small number of cookies and similar storage technologies for essential site functions and, only with your consent, for analytics. This page describes what those cookies do and how you can manage your choice at any time.
Necessary cookies
Some cookies and local storage are required for the site to work properly. These are used for things like essential website functionality, security, and remembering the cookie-consent choice you make below. Necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off, because the site would not function correctly without them.
Consent management
Dram Verdict uses Complianz to manage cookie consent. When you first visit the site, you’ll see a cookie banner where you can:
- Accept — allow analytics cookies
- Deny — allow only necessary cookies
- View Preferences — see and choose which categories to allow
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Manage Consent link, usually found in the site footer or via the cookie icon.
Google Analytics
Dram Verdict uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, how people move through the site, and roughly how the site is performing. Analytics is treated as non-essential:
- Google Analytics does not run before you give explicit consent for Statistics.
- If you deny or skip Statistics consent, Google Analytics stays disabled.
- If you accept Statistics consent, Google Analytics is enabled.
- If you later withdraw Statistics consent, Google Analytics stops loading on future page views.
Marketing / advertising
Dram Verdict does not set advertising or marketing cookies itself. Some links are affiliate links (see the Affiliate Disclosure); if you click one, the affiliate network (Awin) and the retailer may set their own cookies on their own sites to attribute a purchase. Those cookies are not set by this site, are not controlled by this site’s cookie banner, and are covered by those companies’ own policies.
