Loading any page on duckduo.com as a first-time visitor sets no cookies at all. We store four small items in your browser instead — an age confirmation, a wishlist, a gift-wrap preference, and a once-per-session newsletter flag. None of them leaves your device, and none is used for advertising.
This page lists everything duckduo.com stores in your browser, item by item, with the exact name and lifetime of each one. It is short because the list is short: this site sets no cookies on a first visit. Last reviewed 18 September 2026.
| Name | Where | What it holds | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| dd_age_ok | localStorage | The expiry date of your 18+ confirmation | 30 days, then asked again |
| dd_wishlist | localStorage | The list of device names you saved with the heart button | Until you clear it |
| dd_giftwrap_<device> | localStorage | Whether you ticked gift wrapping on a particular product page | Until you clear it |
| dd_news_seen | sessionStorage | A flag that stops the newsletter panel opening twice in one visit | Until the tab is closed |
That is the complete list. There is no fifth entry, and nothing on this site writes a cookie of any kind on a first load.
Most stores need cookies because most stores run analytics, advertising pixels, chat widgets and social embeds, and each of those installs its own identifiers. This site runs none of them. It is served as static pages from a content delivery network with no server-side session, so there is no login cookie to issue; the shopping experience is a PayPal checkout on PayPal’s own domain, so there is no basket cookie to maintain; and the newsletter form sends one request when you press Join rather than tracking you beforehand. The result is a site that works without a consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to. That is a design decision rather than a legal loophole, and the privacy policy describes the same position from the data-protection side.
Clear site data for duckduo.com in your browser settings, or browse in a private window, where everything above disappears when the window closes. In Chrome that is Settings, then Privacy and security, then Site settings, then View permissions and data stored across sites. Clearing it removes your age confirmation, your wishlist and any gift-wrap preferences. Nothing changes on our side when you do, because we never received any of them. Blocking storage entirely will also work — the worst that happens is that the age confirmation is asked on every page.
If DuckDuo later adds something that does set cookies — analytics, a chat tool, an advertising platform — this page will be updated before that change goes live, the new entry will appear in the table above with its name and lifetime, and a consent mechanism will be added if the cookie is not strictly necessary. We would rather publish an empty table and explain why it is empty than publish a long one that nobody reads. That commitment is also the reason the table above is written as a complete inventory rather than a list of categories: a policy saying we may use cookies to improve your experience is unfalsifiable, and you cannot check it. Four named rows can be checked in thirty seconds — open developer tools and confirm that nothing else is stored. If you find an entry that is not listed, that is a bug.
A first visit sets no cookies. That is not a promise about future practice, it is what the site currently does: there is no analytics package, no advertising pixel, no retargeting tag and no third-party embed on any page. Open your browser developer tools, look at the cookies stored for this domain, and you will find the list empty on a first load.
Four small items in local or session storage, and this is the complete list: a confirmation that you are over 18, remembered for 30 days; a wishlist of devices you saved; a gift-wrap preference, stored per product; and a flag that stops the newsletter panel appearing more than once per browsing session. None of the four is transmitted to us, and none is used to build a profile.
A site selling age-restricted products has to ask, and asking on every page view would make the site unusable. The stored flag holds only the date the confirmation expires. It contains no identifier of any kind, so it cannot be used to recognize you across sessions, and deleting it simply means you are asked once more on your next visit.
Clear site data for duckduo.com in your browser settings, or browse in a private window. In Chrome that is Settings, then Privacy and security, then Site settings, then View permissions and data stored across sites. Clearing it removes the age confirmation and any wishlist. Nothing changes on our side, because we never received either of them.
