1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device on future visits, personalize your experience, and collect usage information. In addition to cookies, we use similar technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and tracking pixels.
2. How We Use Cookies
DARK SPACY uses cookies to keep the site working correctly, keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and continually improve our services. We classify our cookies into the following categories:
Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
Always active – cannot be disabled
Required for basic site operation. They enable authentication, session security, and cart functionality. Without them, the site does not work correctly.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| darkspacy_session | Authenticated user session | Session |
| darkspacy_user | Basic signed-in user data (localStorage) | Persistent |
| csrf_token | Protection against CSRF attacks | Session |
Functional Cookies (Preferences)
Based on consent
Remember your choices and preferences (language, dark mode, notification preferences). They do not track activity on other sites.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| darkspacy_prefs | User interface preferences | 1 year |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Saved language | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies (Performance)
Based on consent
Collect information about how visitors use our site (most-visited pages, time on site, traffic source). All data is aggregated and anonymized. We use this information only to improve the site.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some site features may use third-party cookies:
- YouTube: videos embedded on the site use YouTube/Google cookies to display content. We use delayed loading (lazy load) to reduce impact before your consent.
- Microsoft/Azure: Microsoft account authentication may set Microsoft cookies to manage the sign-in session.
DARK SPACY does not control cookies set by third parties. See each provider's privacy policy for more information.

5. Legal Basis
Essential cookies are required to operate the website, keep you signed in, and complete store purchases. Preference and analytics cookies help remember your language and improve the site. You can block non-essential cookies in your browser. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies and we do not use them for cross-context behavioral advertising.
