Cookie Policy
What cookies we set, which third parties we use, and how to opt out
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how DomAvail uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website.
It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled. Set automatically when you visit.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use two analytics providers: Google Analytics (which sets cookies) and Plausible Analytics (which does NOT set cookies — Plausible is cookieless by design).
Preference Cookies
Remember choices you make — language, region, dark mode — so you don't have to set them on every visit.
We Don't Use Marketing or Advertising Cookies
DomAvail does not run third-party advertising or remarketing campaigns, and we do not set cookies for behavioral advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking. We do not embed Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, or similar advertising technologies.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies
We rely on the following legal bases under GDPR (Article 6) and the ePrivacy Directive:
Essential Cookies
Legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website (no consent required — these are strictly necessary).
Analytics and Preference Cookies
Your consent, given via our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by using your browser's Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control signal (which we honor).
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) HTTP header and the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When your browser sends either signal, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and preference cookies, and we will not load Google Analytics for the duration of that session.
To enable: Firefox and Brave have GPC built in (enable in privacy settings). Chrome users can install the Global Privacy Control extension.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies in several ways:
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit DomAvail, you can choose to accept all, reject optional, or customize your cookie preferences. To revisit this choice, clear your browser cookies for our site.
Browser Settings
All major browsers let you block, delete, or control cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies may break site functionality.
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
Enable DNT or GPC in your browser to automatically opt out of analytics and preference cookies.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to block GA across all sites.
