Dockside Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 3 November 2025

We know, another policy. But this one is important for transparency, and we've kept it as simple as possible.

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Dockside service. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. They are used by most websites to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how people use a site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We believe in using only what is necessary. We have grouped our cookies into the standard categories so you can easily understand what they do.

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Dockside service to function and cannot be turned off. We use them for:

  • Authentication: To keep you securely logged in to your account as you navigate the site.
  • Security: To help protect your account and our service from malicious activity.
  • Consent: To remember your cookie preference choice. (Yes, we need a cookie to remember not to set other cookies).

You can set your browser to block these cookies, but parts of our service will stop working.

b) Functional Cookies

These cookies are used to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, or other preferences to enhance your experience.

We do not currently use many functional cookies, but as we add features, this category may be used to save you time by remembering your settings.

c) Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies would allow us to count visits and see how users move around our site, helping us to improve it.

We do not currently use any performance or analytics cookies (like Google Analytics). If we decide to use them in the future to help us make Dockside better, we will only do so with your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

d) Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used by advertisers to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.

We do not use any advertising or tracking cookies. Simple as that. This is a core part of our commitment to your privacy.

3. How to Manage Your Cookies

You are in control. You can manage your cookie preferences in two ways:

On Our Site:

You can set your preferences at any time using our Cookie Consent banner (the pop-up you see on your first visit) or by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link, which will be available in the site footer.

In Your Browser:

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. However, you can manage and delete cookies through your browser's settings. Please follow the instructions provided by your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to do this.
