Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how XivoramelGaming ("we", "us") uses them on xivoramel.info, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can also be "first-party cookies" (set by xivoramel.info directly) or "third-party cookies" (set by external services we use).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies on xivoramel.info for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality. Examples include:

• xiv_cookie_ok — Stores your cookie consent preference so we do not show the banner on every page visit. Expires after 365 days.
• Session management cookies that maintain your browsing session across pages.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred genre filter on the Reviews page) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They do not track browsing activity on other websites.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the Website — which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised wherever possible. Examples include:

• Page view tracking to identify our most-read reviews.
• Referral source tracking to understand how readers find us.
• Device and browser type data for compatibility optimisation.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies that follow you across third-party websites.

3. Third-Party Cookies

The Website loads Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript from the jsDelivr CDN. jsDelivr may set its own cookies or collect technical data as part of content delivery. We encourage you to review jsDelivr's Privacy Policy for details. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising networks.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.
• Our cookie banner: When you first visit the Website, a banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
• Opt-out tools: For analytics, you may use your browser's "Do Not Track" setting, which we respect where technically feasible.

For guidance on managing cookies in popular browsers, visit the relevant help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
