COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: September 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit Crypto Wars. They help us recognize you, remember your preferences, and improve your gaming experience.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

🔒Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, you cannot use core features.

  • Authentication: Keep you logged in during your session
  • Security: Protect against CSRF attacks and unauthorized access
  • Session Management: Maintain your game state and preferences
  • Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse and ensure fair play

Duration: Session cookies (deleted when browser closes) or up to 30 days

⚙️Preference Storage (Functional)

Your browser's local storage remembers choices you make. These are needed for the features you use, so we don't ask for consent.

  • Game Settings: Your sound and music settings and similar game preferences
  • Cookie Consent: Your cookie choice (cw_consent)

Duration: Until you clear your browser data

📊Analytics & Ad Measurement (Optional - only if you accept)

These help us understand how players use the game so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4 (loaded through Google Tag Manager) and Umami. If you accept, Google tags may also set cookies that measure which of our own ads brought you to Crypto Wars. Crypto Wars does not show ads.

  • Gameplay Analytics: Track game sessions, popular modes, average playtime
  • Performance Monitoring: Identify bugs, crashes, and slow features
  • User Journey: Understand how players navigate the site
  • Feature Usage: See which power-ups, coins, and modes are most popular

Cookies: Google Analytics _ga, _ga_* and Google Ads _gcl_*. Umami does not use cookies. Duration: up to 2 years

Until you accept, Google tags run in Google Consent Mode: no analytics or advertising cookies are set and only limited, cookieless signals are sent. Umami is not loaded at all. We do not sell your data.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use to operate Crypto Wars:

  • Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd): analytics and ad measurement, only with your consent
  • Umami Cloud: cookieless analytics, only loaded with your consent
  • Stripe: payment processing when you buy Premium (Stripe's checkout pages set their own cookies)

Crypto Wars does not show ads and does not sell your data.

4. How to Manage Cookies

4.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

⚠️ Important: Blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using Crypto Wars properly. You may not be able to log in or save your progress.

4.2 Opt-Out of Analytics

Open Cookie Settings (below, or in the footer of every page) and choose Reject. We then stop analytics, update Google Consent Mode and delete Google Analytics cookies. You can also block cookies in your browser settings or use extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin.

5. Cookie Consent

When you first visit Crypto Wars, a banner asks whether you accept optional analytics and ad-measurement cookies. Accept and Reject are equally easy, and nothing optional is stored until you accept. The banner is not shown during a match, so it never covers the game.

You can change your choice at any time by:

  • Using (also in the footer)
  • Adjusting your browser settings
  • Clearing your cookies through browser settings
  • Contacting us at [email protected]

6. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. While we respect your privacy choices, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We recommend using browser settings to control cookies directly.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. We will post any changes on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
