1. About this Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Blitz-Strike uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and in our browser game (the “Service”). It complements our Privacy Policy and is designed to comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, SDKs, pixels, and web beacons. These tools help us run the Service, remember preferences, enhance performance, and—if you consent—measure and improve our content.
3. How we use cookies
We group cookies into the categories below. Some are essential to the Service. Non‑essential cookies are used only with your consent, which you can give, refuse, or withdraw at any time via the cookie banner or preferences centre.
4. Cookie categories
4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential)
• Provide core site and gameplay functions (e.g., load balancing, session management, security).
• These cookies do not require consent under PECR but are disclosed here for transparency.
Examples (indicative):
• session_id — Maintains your session to deliver content you request; expires at session end.
• csrf_token — Helps protect forms and actions; expires at session end or a short fixed period.
• routing / load_balance — Distributes traffic for reliability; short-lived.
4.2 Performance & Analytics (Consent-based)
• Help us understand usage and improve the Service through aggregated metrics (e.g., page loads, feature usage, crash diagnostics).
• We seek your consent before setting these cookies.
Example placeholders (to be confirmed before go‑live):
• analytics_* — Pseudonymous identifier for aggregate metrics; duration 1–24 months.
• perf_* — Measures asset load times and errors; duration up to 12 months.
4.3 Functionality (Consent-based)
• Remember your preferences (e.g., language, volume, UI settings).
• These cookies may be set only when you use related features.
Examples:
• ui_prefs — Stores display or audio preferences; duration up to 12 months.
• lang — Saves language choice; duration up to 12 months.
4.4 Advertising/Marketing (Consent-based)
• Used only if we implement marketing pixels or similar tools; not required for core gameplay.
• If enabled in future, we will request consent and update this Policy and the preference centre.
Example placeholders:
• ad_pixel — Measures campaign reach; duration varies per provider.
• ad_id — Pseudonymous identifier for ad frequency capping; duration up to 12 months.
5. Your choices: consent and control
• Cookie banner: On first visit, you can Accept, Reject, or manage preferences by category.
• Preferences centre: Change or withdraw consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
• Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies via your browser. Doing so may break essential features.
• Do Not Track: The Service does not currently respond to DNT signals. If standards evolve, we will review support.
6. Third‑party cookies & SDKs
Some cookies/SDKs may be set by service providers that help us operate and improve the Service (e.g., hosting, performance monitoring, analytics). Where used, these providers act under our instructions or as independent controllers with their own policies. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
Before enabling any new third‑party tools that set non‑essential cookies, we will update this Policy and the preference centre to reflect their names, purposes, and durations.
7. Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last from a few days up to 24 months, unless you delete them sooner or we configure a shorter duration. We aim to apply data‑minimisation and appropriate retention across all categories.
8. International transfers
Where cookie/SDK providers process data outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., UK IDTA or the UK Addendum to EU SCCs) and supplementary measures where necessary, as described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technologies or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date above will change accordingly. For material changes, we will take reasonable steps to inform you.
