In short
- We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other websites.
- We only store what the site needs to work, such as your cookie choice.
- Analytics only run if you accept them, and they do not use cookies.
- You can change your choice at any time.
What these technologies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and scripts that measure how a page is used. In this policy, “cookies” covers all of these.
Necessary
These are needed for the site to work and do not require consent.
darkrisk-consent, stored in your browser’s local storage. Remembers whether you accepted analytics, so we don’t ask on every page. Kept until you clear it or change your choice.
Our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare, may set short-lived security cookies, for example to tell people apart from automated traffic. These protect the site and are not used to identify you.
Analytics, with consent
If you accept analytics, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how quickly they load. It does not use cookies or local storage, does not build a profile of you, and does not follow you to other websites. It records information such as the page visited, the referring site, browser and device type, approximate country and page performance.
If you choose “Necessary only”, the analytics script is never loaded.
Other requests your browser makes
Some features send requests from your browser to other services. These do not set cookies on darkrisk.io:
- The free domain checksends the domain you enter to Cloudflare’s public DNS resolver (cloudflare-dns.com) to look up its records. DarkRisk does not receive or store what you type.
- The contact form loads Cloudflare Turnstile from challenges.cloudflare.com once you start filling it in. It checks, without a puzzle, that a person is sending the form, using information about your browser and connection. From Turnstile, DarkRisk receives only whether the check passed.
- The status indicator in the footer reads our public status page at darkriskstatus.com, which is run on OneUptime. The request carries no cookies, and nothing is stored in your browser.
The DarkRisk platform
The DarkRisk workspace uses only what it needs to work. It uses no analytics or advertising technology, so it does not ask for consent.
__Host-darkrisk_refresh, a secure, HTTP-only cookie that keeps you signed in. Kept until you sign out or your session expires.
__Host-darkrisk_admin_return, set only while DarkRisk staff use a support session, to return them to their own account. Removed when the session ends.
The workspace also keeps a few items in your browser’s local and session storage: your theme and report preferences, unsent drafts, and short-lived sign-in and security state, such as which organisation you are working in and single sign-on checks. They stay in your browser and are cleared when you clear site data, and most end with your session.
Your choices
Use to change your choice at any time. You can also clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage means we will ask for your choice again.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the technologies we use change, and ask for your choice again if we add a new optional category. Questions can be sent to compliance@darkrisk.io.
