Cookie Policy

Effective date: June 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how thegatemuststand.wiki ("we," "us," or the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how visitors use pages. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for basic Site functionality, such as load balancing, security (including Cloudflare protection), and remembering cookie consent choices. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to collect aggregated statistics about page views, navigation paths, and referral sources. This helps us prioritize which guides to expand and identify technical issues. Analytics data is typically anonymized or aggregated.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices such as collapsed menu states or language homepage redirects you selected. They improve convenience on repeat visits.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party services integrated with our Site (hosting, analytics, CDN) may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We do not control third-party cookie behavior directly but select partners with transparent practices.

Clicking links to external sites (Steam, social media) may expose you to those sites' cookie policies.

4. Cookie Duration

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until you delete them. Typical analytics cookies persist from 30 days to 24 months depending on provider configuration.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through:

  • Browser settings to block or delete cookies
  • Private or incognito browsing modes
  • Industry opt-out tools for analytics providers where available
  • Our consent banner preferences when implemented

Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality and user experience.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no universal standard for compliance. We currently do not respond differently to DNT signals beyond our standard privacy-minimizing analytics configuration.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add services or change practices. Check the effective date above for the latest version.

8. More Information

For broader data practices, see our Privacy Policy. For Site usage rules, see our Terms of Service.
