Cookie policy
Which cookies dots.ar uses today, which ones advertising will enable, and how to accept or decline them without losing access to content.
Today dots.ar installs no first-party tracking cookies: analytics is aggregate and cookie-less, and the site works the same if you block them. Advertising cookies may appear once ads are switched on, always with a prior consent prompt where the law requires it.

What cookies are
A small file a site stores in your browser to recognise you on later visits. Some are necessary for a site to work — keeping you signed in, for instance — while others measure audience or serve advertising.
This site is static and has no sessions or accounts, so it needs no cookies to function.
When ads are enabled
Display advertising is what funds the site, and ad providers typically use their own cookies or identifiers to cap repetition and measure performance.
The commitment is this:
- Prior notice. Where the law requires it, ad scripts do not load until you decide.
- Genuine refusal. Declining does not degrade your access to content.
- Changing your mind. You will be able to change your choice later from the prompt itself.
- Transparency. This page is updated before ads go live.
