Cookie Policy
DripFlicks uses two first-party functional cookies, the Google Analytics measurement cookies (for aggregate traffic counts), and the advertising cookies set by the ExoClick network for the sponsored Recommendation Widget on listing pages (the homepage and category, pornstar, and search pages). When you follow an outbound video link, the destination site (e.g. xhamster.com, nuvid.com, or faphouse.com) may set its own cookies on its own website — governed by that site's policies, not this one. Our second analytics tool — Umami — is **cookieless** and sets no cookies in your browser at all. This page lists every cookie set by or via our origin, what it does, and how long it lasts.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files set by a website in your browser. They can be "session" (deleted when you close the browser) or "persistent" (stored until expiry or manual deletion). Cookies set by our origin are "first-party"; cookies set by other origins loaded inside our pages (e.g. an advertising network's ad slot) are "third-party".
2. Cookies we set (first-party)
(a) age_ok — name: age_ok; purpose: remembers that you confirmed you are 18+; duration: 12 months; type: persistent, strictly necessary. (b) aud — name: aud; purpose: remembers your audience / orientation preference (Straight, Gay, Trans, etc.); duration: 12 months; type: persistent, strictly necessary.
3. Cookies set by destination sites (outbound links)
When you click a video, the Source Platform's website (currently xhamster.com, reached via the partner redirect xh.partners, or nuvid.com, reached via the partner redirect nvdvid.com) opens in a new tab and may set its own cookies there (player preferences, advertising on the source platform, view counters). Those cookies are set by the destination site on its own origin after you follow the outbound link — not by or via our pages — and their use is governed by the destination's own cookie policy.
4. Browser localStorage (not a cookie)
One optional engagement feature — a favourites list — is stored in your browser's localStorage and never transmitted to our servers. Clearing your site data removes it.
5. Google Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-9QW0DFMZ7N) for aggregate visitor measurement. GA4 sets two cookies in your browser: (a) "_ga" — duration 2 years, purpose: distinguish unique browsers/users for pageview aggregation; type: third-party, analytics. (b) "_ga_9QW0DFMZ7N" — duration 2 years, purpose: persist a session identifier for the specific GA4 property; type: third-party, analytics. Google Analytics also captures your IP address (truncated by Google before storage), user-agent, page URL, referrer, and aggregate event data. No personally identifiable information is collected by DripFlicks, and we do not link GA data to any other identifier on our side. You can opt out at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, by blocking third-party cookies, or by using a browser-level tracker blocker.
6. Umami analytics (cookieless)
We use Umami (cloud.umami.is) as a second aggregate-measurement tool. Umami is privacy-friendly by design: it **does NOT set any cookies** in your browser, does not store IP addresses on its servers, and does not track individual users across sessions. It sends one event ping per pageview containing the page URL, referrer, anonymised user-agent, and an inferred country/region (derived from a hashed and rotated IP-derived identifier that is not stored). Because Umami sets no cookies, blocking third-party cookies alone does NOT block it. To opt out, use a browser-level tracker blocker (such as uBlock Origin) or block requests to cloud.umami.is in your browser. Umami's privacy policy: https://umami.is/privacy.
7. ExoClick advertising cookies (listing pages)
Listing pages (the homepage and category, pornstar, and search pages) display one sponsored "Recommendation Widget" below the video grid, served by the ExoClick network (ad-serving domains a.magsrv.com and s.magsrv.com). When that slot loads, ExoClick may set and read its own third-party advertising cookies/identifiers used for ad selection, frequency capping (limiting how often you see the same ad), and conversion measurement, and it receives the User-Agent Client Hints we delegate to it (browser platform, version, model, architecture) plus your IP address, user-agent, and referrer. ExoClick acts as an independent controller for this advertising data and may use it for behavioural and retargeted advertising. To opt out: use ExoClick's opt-out at https://www.exoclick.com/privacy/, block third-party advertising cookies in your browser, and/or block requests to magsrv.com with a tracker blocker such as uBlock Origin. Apart from ExoClick we run no other advertising networks, Meta Pixel, TikTok pixel, or behavioural-profiling trackers.
6. How to manage or opt out
Most browsers let you accept, refuse, or delete cookies. Doing so will re-show the age-gate on every visit and reset your audience preference to the default. Major browser instructions: Chrome (Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies), Firefox (Settings → Privacy & Security), Safari (Settings → Advanced → Cookies), Edge (Settings → Cookies and site permissions).
