COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: August 26, 2026
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences, keeping you logged in, and (only if you agree) analyzing how you use our platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we actually use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They cannot be disabled and do not require consent.
Only set after you accept analytics in our cookie banner or the "Manage Cookies" panel (footer). Helps us see which pages and features are actually used — no advertising, no data sale.
We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, Hotjar, Twitter Ads, or LinkedIn Insights. If that changes, this section will be updated before those cookies are set.
3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
We use the following third-party services, which may set their own cookies or collect device data as part of their function:
Required for Steam OAuth authentication and inventory access.
Privacy Policy: https://store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/
Our PCI-DSS compliant card payment processor. During 3D Secure checks it may collect device/browser data (device fingerprinting) as part of bank fraud-prevention checks.
See our Payment Policy for more details.
Product analytics, loaded only after you accept analytics cookies.
Privacy Policy: https://posthog.com/privacy
4. COOKIE DURATION
Deleted when you close your browser:
- CSRF protection token
Remain on your device for a set period:
- Sign-in session: up to 30 days, or until you sign out
- Language preference: 1 year
- Analytics (PostHog, if accepted): up to 1 year
5. HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner. You can:
- Accept all cookies
- Decline non-essential cookies
- Manage your preference for the Analytics category specifically
- Change your choice anytime via "Manage Cookies" in the footer
You can also control cookies through your browser 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
6. IMPACT OF DISABLING COOKIES
Important Notice:
Disabling essential cookies will affect website functionality. Declining analytics has no effect on functionality — it only stops PostHog from loading.
If you disable essential cookies:
- You will not be able to stay signed in
- Security features may be compromised
- Some pages may not load properly
If you decline analytics cookies:
- PostHog never loads for your session
- The site works exactly the same — nothing else is affected
7. OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
In addition to cookies, we use:
Local Storage: your selected display currency, kept in your browser only
Device fingerprinting: collected by our payment processor during 3D Secure checks, for bank fraud prevention — see Section 3
These technologies are subject to the same privacy principles as cookies.
8. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, providing additional notice through our website or email.
