Cookie Policy

Effective: December 5, 2025

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tools for functionality, analytics, and (if enabled) marketing. This policy explains our cookie practices and the choices available to you.

Cookie Practices

Essential-only Cookies

Only strictly necessary cookies (session security, load balancing, user auth). No analytics, ads, or social pixels.

Best for: Privacy-first sites, public-interest data portals, minimal UX tracking.

UX impact: Minimal personalization; limited diagnostics.

Banner: Simple notice; consent not required for strictly necessary cookies in most jurisdictions.

Essential + First-party Analytics

Adds privacy-friendly, first-party analytics (e.g., self-hosted or cookieless modes) without cross-site tracking.

Best for: Measuring traffic and content performance while staying lightweight.

UX impact: Better insights with low privacy risk.

Banner: Informational banner with opt-out link or "Analytics On/Off" toggle.

Full Analytics + Marketing Stack (consent-based)

Use of third-party analytics, A/B testing, re/marketing pixels, social embeds.

Best for: Growth-oriented properties (e-commerce, media, communities).

UX impact: Rich insights; higher privacy obligations.

Banner: Granular consent with categories (Essential, Analytics, Performance, Ads, Social). Respect withdrawal and regional rules.

Geo-sensitive Consent

Different experiences based on user region (e.g., opt-in where required, opt-out elsewhere), honoring Global Privacy Control signals.

Best for: Multi-region audiences with varying rules.

UX impact: Requires detection and preference storage.

Banner: Dynamic banner + preferences center; store consent logs.

Codeless or Cookieless Analytics

Server-side or ephemeral measurement without browser identifiers.

Best for: Publications and data sites prioritizing minimal data collection.

UX impact: Limited user-level analysis; strong privacy posture.

Banner: Brief disclosure; often no consent toggle if no identifiers are stored.

Operational Add-ons

  • Preference center: Always-on link in footer to revisit choices.
  • Consent logs: Timestamp, IP region, preferences version; retain per your retention schedule.
  • Vendor registry: Maintain an internal list of tags, purposes, and data shared.
  • Retention Periods: 24 months

Cookie Consent Records

Retain 12–24 months or until user withdraws consent, whichever is earlier; refresh upon material policy changes.

Analytics Data Retention

  • First-party aggregated analytics: 12–24 months, then aggregate further or delete.
  • User-level analytics identifiers: 6–13 months; prefer aggregation or pseudonymization early.

Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies
  • Do Not Track: We honor "Do Not Track" browser signals and Global Privacy Control where legally required
  • Opt-Out: You can opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser settings

Note: Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

Third-Party Services

We may link to third-party sites or display third-party content (e.g., Twitch embeds). Their practices are governed by their policies.
