Cookie policy

011. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Local storage and pixels can play a similar role. They can be first-party (set by this domain) or third-party (set by another domain, such as an ad network or video host).

022. Cookies this Site sets itself

The static wiki pages do not need an account cookie. A language preference is stored in the URL (for example /fr/ or /de/), not in a required cookie. If a future feature stores a UI preference locally, it will be limited to that function.

033. Third-party cookies you may encounter

• Cloudflare — security and performance cookies that help distinguish people from bots and route traffic.
• YouTube — when an embedded guide video loads or plays, Google may set cookies to remember playback, measure views or personalize Google services.
• Advertising partners — banner slots on the Site may allow ad networks to set cookies for frequency capping, fraud prevention or interest-based ads.

044. How to control cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use a tracker blocker, or enable tracking protection. Blocking all cookies may stop some videos or ads from loading; the written guides remain readable. Embedded YouTube players can be left unclicked if you do not want that third party to load.

055. Duration

Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies last until their expiry date or until you delete them. We do not control the exact lifetimes used by YouTube, Cloudflare or ad vendors.

066. Changes

We may update this policy when vendors or the Site’s scripts change. The date at the top is the latest revision. The English version is shared across all language editions of the Site.
