This Cookie Policy explains how DeepSeek-USA.ai (“DeepSeek USA,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Site”) uses cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, advertising identifiers, analytics identifiers, security technologies, and similar technologies.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Disclaimer.
DeepSeek USA is an independent, unofficial informational website created for readers in the United States. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, operated by, or connected to DeepSeek, Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd., or any official DeepSeek product, service, app, model, API, account system, trademark owner, or related entity.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website or third-party service may store on your browser or device. Cookies can help websites remember information about your visit, operate security features, measure performance, understand how pages are used, deliver advertisements, limit ad frequency, and improve user experience.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, analytics identifiers, and other tools that perform similar functions.
How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:
- Operating and maintaining the Site
- Protecting the Site from spam, bots, abuse, fraud, malicious traffic, and security threats
- Improving speed, caching, delivery, and performance
- Understanding how visitors use our content
- Measuring traffic, page views, referrals, and content engagement
- Detecting errors, performance issues, and technical problems
- Displaying, limiting, personalizing, and measuring advertisements
- Remembering certain preferences where applicable
- Supporting contact form delivery, spam prevention, and abuse prevention

Some cookies are essential for security, performance, or basic website functionality. Other cookies may be used for analytics, advertising, measurement, personalization, or similar purposes.
Types of Cookies We May Use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies help the Site function safely and reliably. They may be used for security, fraud prevention, bot detection, rate limiting, traffic management, caching, network delivery, load balancing, form protection, and basic technical operations.
These cookies may be set by our website software, hosting provider, Cloudflare, security tools, spam-prevention tools, or similar service providers. Because these technologies are necessary to operate and secure the Site, they may not be available for opt-out through our Site controls. You can still block cookies through your browser, but doing so may affect how the Site works.
2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site. We use Google Analytics and may use Cloudflare analytics, server logs, hosting analytics, or similar measurement tools.
These tools may process information such as pages viewed, links clicked, referral sources, browser type, device type, approximate location, IP address, visit time, session activity, and similar technical or usage information. This helps us improve content, fix technical issues, measure performance, and understand what readers find useful.
We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, passwords, payment information, government identifiers, or other directly identifying personal information to Google Analytics.
3. Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on pages where ad placements are active and to help support the Site. Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used by Google, its advertising partners, and other vendors involved in ad serving to serve ads, personalize ads where permitted, limit ad frequency, measure ad performance, prevent fraud and abuse, and report advertising activity.
Advertising partners may process information such as cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, browser or device information, approximate location, page views, ad impressions, ad interactions, and similar technical or usage information.
Advertisements displayed on the Site do not mean that we endorse the advertiser, product, service, claim, offer, website, download, or destination page.
4. Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies may be used to remember choices or settings, such as display preferences, language preferences, consent choices, or other site-related preferences where those features are enabled.
If we add additional interactive features in the future, functionality cookies may help those features work correctly.
5. Contact Form and Spam-Prevention Technologies
The Site may use a contact form so readers can send questions, correction requests, feedback, or source links. Contact form tools, email systems, security tools, and spam-prevention technologies may use cookies or similar signals to help deliver messages, prevent spam, detect abuse, and protect the Site.
Please do not send passwords, API keys, payment details, government identifiers, medical records, confidential business information, private source code, client data, regulated data, official DeepSeek account information, or other sensitive information through our contact form or email.
Google AdSense and Google Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on pages where ad placements are active and to help support the Site. We may use other third-party advertising services in the future. Google, its advertising partners, and other vendors involved in ad serving may place or read cookies on your browser, use web beacons, pixels, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, browser or device information, and similar technologies to serve ads, limit ad frequency, measure ad performance, prevent fraud and abuse, and personalize ads where permitted.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this Site or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Depending on our AdSense configuration, other third-party vendors or ad networks may also serve ads and use cookies or similar technologies on this Site.
- Users may manage or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
- Users may also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily stop all advertisements. Google may still serve non-personalized or limited ads, and cookies or similar technologies may still be used for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, security, and fraud prevention, where permitted.
For more information about how Google collects and uses information from websites and apps that use Google services, review Google’s page: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Google Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics may use first-party cookies and similar identifiers to measure visitor interactions, report site usage statistics, and help us improve content and user experience.
Examples of Google Analytics cookies may include _ga, _ga_*, and related analytics identifiers. The exact cookies and durations may vary depending on our configuration, Google’s settings, browser behavior, consent choices, and applicable law.
You can opt out of Google Analytics in supported browsers by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cloudflare Cookies and Security Technologies
We use Cloudflare for security, content delivery, caching, performance optimization, traffic management, bot mitigation, and protection against malicious or abusive traffic.
Cloudflare may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary to provide its services. These may include cookies used for bot detection, challenge pages, rate limiting, traffic management, load balancing, security checks, or similar protective functions.
Examples of Cloudflare cookies that may appear depending on the features enabled include __cf_bm, cf_clearance, _cfuvid, __cflb, cf_ob_info, and cf_use_ob. Not all of these cookies will appear for every visitor or every page. Their use depends on the Cloudflare features enabled, traffic conditions, browser behavior, security checks, and site configuration.
