Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how DC by Foot uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, what information they collect, and how you can control their use. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide limited information about how visitors use the site.
In this policy, the term “cookies” also includes similar technologies such as local storage and pixels where applicable.
How DC by Foot Uses Cookies
DC by Foot uses only essential cookies and privacy-focused analytics.
We do not use advertising cookies, do not track users across websites, and do not sell or share personal information.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions such as navigating pages or submitting forms.
These cookies do not store personal information and do not track your activity outside our website.
Analytics Cookies (Fathom Analytics)
We use Fathom Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service, to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve performance and content.
Fathom Analytics:
- Does not use cookies to track users across sites
- Does not collect IP addresses
- Does not use personal identifiers
- Does not create user profiles
- Does not share data with third parties for advertising
Analytics data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you as an individual.
Legal basis (EU/UK): legitimate interest
Legal basis (California): business purpose only (no sale or sharing)
Because Fathom is configured in a privacy-preserving mode, explicit consent banners are not required under GDPR.
Cookies We Do Not Use
DC by Foot does not use:
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Behavioral or cross-context tracking
- Affiliate tracking cookies
- Third-party marketing pixels
- Google Analytics or similar invasive analytics tools
Third-Party Content
Some pages may contain embedded content (for example, maps or videos). These third parties may set their own cookies independently. DC by Foot does not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the third party’s privacy policies.
Global Privacy Control (California)
DC by Foot honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where applicable. Because we do not sell or share personal information, GPC signals do not materially change how we process data, but we recognize them as required under California law.
