Privacy

The short version

There are no accounts, no sign-in and no advertising or analytics companies on Dillydag. We never ask for your name or email. What we keep is an anonymous id in a cookie, so a vote counts once per browser.

Cookies we set

• dg_v: a random anonymous id, signed so it cannot be forged. Your votes and the things you are shown, play, save or share are counted against it, so the same browser is not counted twice. It does not identify you.
• region: US or UK, so you only see videos that play where you are.
• dg_hero: which film or clip the home page is featuring for you, so it does not change on every page load.

Saves and votes

Saved clips and trailers stay in your browser (its local storage); they never reach our servers, and clearing your browser data removes them. Votes are stored on our side against the anonymous dg_v id, never against a name or an account. The record of what was shown, played, saved or shared is kept for 90 days.

YouTube's player

Every video plays in YouTube's own embedded player. When it loads, YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies and see your visit, under Google's privacy policy. We do not control those cookies.

AI crawlers and AI referrals

When a known AI crawler (from OpenAI, Perplexity, Anthropic or Google's AI training) fetches a page, we record the crawler, the page and its IP address, so we can check the visit really came from that company. These records are deleted after 90 days. When a person arrives from an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, we record which assistant sent them and the page they landed on, against the anonymous dg_v id and never with an IP address; those are kept for a year.

Film and TV data

Titles, artwork, release dates and cast come from TMDB. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. More about where everything comes from is on How Dillydag chooses.
