1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Dark Psychology Lab (the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, why they are used, and how you can manage your choices.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. They can help a website function, remember preferences, maintain security, and provide information about how the website is used.

Similar technologies, including scripts, pixels, tags, and local storage, may perform related functions. In this policy, references to cookies also include these similar technologies where appropriate.

Some cookies last only for the duration of your browser session. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required to operate or protect the website, including:

website security;
remembering your cookie preferences;
core WordPress functions;
authorized administrator access;
fraud and abuse prevention.

These cookies may operate without consent where they are necessary to provide or secure the website.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about page views, traffic sources, website interactions, devices, and general usage trends.

We use this information to evaluate website performance, identify technical problems, and understand which content is useful to readers.

Analytics cookies are activated only after you provide consent.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support optional website features or remember choices that improve how the website works for you.

They may be used for functions such as email forms, saved preferences, feedback tools, or other optional features.

Functional cookies are activated only after consent where required.

Embedded Content Cookies

Some articles may include videos, social media posts, or other content provided by external websites.

When this content is loaded, the external provider may use cookies or similar technologies and receive technical information about your interaction with the content. Non-essential cookies related to embedded content are governed by your consent preferences, where technically supported.

Advertising Cookies

Dark Psychology Lab does not currently use advertising cookies for targeted or cross-site behavioral advertising.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set through Dark Psychology Lab and generally support the operation, security, preferences, or measurement of this website.

Third-party cookies are set or accessed by external service providers whose technology is used on the website. These may include providers responsible for analytics, email delivery, website performance, security, spam prevention, or embedded content.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. We allow access only where reasonably necessary for the relevant service to function.

5. Managing Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit the website, the cookie banner allows you to:

accept non-essential cookies;
reject non-essential cookies; or
customize individual cookie categories.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the Consent Preferences control available on this website.

You may also block or delete stored cookies through your browser settings. Deleting cookies may reset your saved consent preferences and cause the cookie banner to appear again.

Rejecting non-essential cookies does not prevent you from accessing the main content of Dark Psychology Lab. Some optional features may work differently or remain unavailable.

6. Cookie Details and Storage Periods

The current cookie declaration is available through the Consent Preferences panel.

It provides available information about the cookies and similar technologies detected on this website, including:

cookie category;
cookie or technology name;
provider;
purpose;
storage period or expiration;
whether the technology is connected to a third-party service.

The exact cookies used may change when website features, plugins, or service providers are updated. The Consent Preferences panel is used to maintain the current technical list without requiring this page to manually reproduce each cookie individually.

7. Embedded Content

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the external provider’s website directly.

Once loaded, the provider may collect technical information, use cookies, or record your interactions in accordance with its own privacy practices. Dark Psychology Lab does not control cookies set directly by external websites after their content has been loaded.

8. Changes to This Policy
