Cookies Policy
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. themoundomenofcthulhu.wiki (the "Site") uses these technologies to operate basic functions, remember preferences, and—only with consent where legally required—measure how visitors use our fan wiki for The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu.
This Cookies Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By continuing to use the Site after accepting cookies via our banner where shown, you consent to non-essential cookies as described. Essential cookies do not require consent in most jurisdictions because the Site cannot function without them.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies. These enable core features such as security, load balancing, and storing your cookie consent choice so we do not ask repeatedly. They do not track you across other websites for advertising. Duration: session to twelve months depending on function.
Functional cookies. These remember optional preferences such as selected language locale when multiple wiki translations are available, collapsed navigation states, or theme contrast settings if offered. Duration: up to twelve months.
Analytics cookies (optional). If enabled and consented, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate page views, referrers, and device categories to prioritize guide updates—for example whether sanity articles outperform weapons articles. Analytics providers may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We configure analytics to avoid unnecessary personal data collection where provider settings allow. Duration: per provider, typically up to twenty-four months.
We do not deploy advertising or social media tracking cookies on initial Site launch unless this policy is updated with clear notice and consent mechanisms.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Embedded YouTube videos on guide pages may set cookies or use local storage when you play videos, governed by Google's policies. Loading embedded content may occur only after interaction (click-to-load) where implemented to reduce automatic third-party tracking before consent.
Content delivery networks and hosting partners may process technical cookies necessary to deliver assets quickly and securely. These are generally classified as strictly necessary when they only support delivery and security.
If we add community comment widgets, donation buttons, or external tool embeds in the future, this policy will list associated third parties and update consent categories before activation.
4. Managing Cookies and Your Choices
On first visit from regions requiring consent, a banner allows accepting all cookies, rejecting non-essential cookies, or customizing categories. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing Site cookies in your browser and revisiting the banner, or through a "Cookie settings" link in the footer when implemented.
Browser controls let you block or delete cookies globally. Blocking all cookies may break language memory or consent records on the Site. Consult browser help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or mobile equivalents.
Do Not Track signals are not uniformly honored industry-wide. We respond to explicit consent choices on our banner rather than DNT headers alone where law applies.
5. Updates and Contact
We may update this Cookies Policy when adding tools, analytics providers, or legal requirements change. Material updates will adjust the last updated date below and may trigger a renewed consent prompt where required.
Questions about cookies or this policy: use the Site footer contact method when available. For broader data rights, see the Privacy Policy.
If we add interactive wiki tools such as the Loadout Planner or Sanity Reference, those pages may store preferences in local storage as described above. Embedded preview videos from The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu marketing may set third-party cookies when you play or load players on guide pages.
Continued use of the Site after cookie policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law. You may withdraw non-essential cookie consent at any time through the banner or browser controls without affecting access to static wiki articles.
