Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on the Dark Stone website, why they are used and how you can manage your preferences. For how we process personal data, please also see our Personal Data Notice.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, work in the same way. They help a site work properly, remember your choices and understand how it is used.

Cookies we use

Essential cookies (always on)

These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off. They do not identify you personally.

• Server and performance cookies — set by our hosting infrastructure to deliver pages quickly and securely (for example _lscache_priv).
• Cookie preference — your choice in the cookie notice is stored in your browser's local storage (ds_consent) so that we do not ask you again on every page.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

If you click “Accept all”, we may use Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site (for example which pages are visited). These services may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. If you choose “Essential only”, these tools are not loaded.

Third-party content

Some content is provided by third parties and is only loaded when you choose to open it: the map on our contact page (Google Maps) and embedded videos (YouTube). When you open such content, the provider may set its own cookies under its own policy. Links to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube take you to those services.

Managing your preferences

You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
