Cookie Policy

Last updated: December 4, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Game Compass uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your actions and preferences (such as language, cookie choices or pages visited) over time.

We may also use similar technologies (like local storage or anonymous analytics tags). In this Policy, we call all of these "cookies" for simplicity.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies for three main reasons:

We do not currently use cookies for:

• Behavioural advertising across other sites
• Selling or brokering your data

If this ever changes, we will update this Policy and our cookie banner.

3. What cookies we may set

Depending on your choices and our current tech stack, we may set:

3.1. Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the site to function.

Examples (names will depend on implementation):

• gc_cookie_consent – remembers if you accepted or rejected optional cookies
• gc_session – keeps your session stable (e.g., to prevent CSRF attacks or store temporary preferences)

You cannot switch these off if you use the site, but you can block all cookies via your browser (the site may not work correctly).

3.2. Analytics cookies

We may use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (or built-in hosting analytics), which might set a cookie or store anonymous data to measure traffic.

We use this to:

• Count visits and page views
• See which pages are most useful
• Understand how visitors move through the site

Where required by law, we will ask your consent for analytics cookies via our cookie banner.

4. Managing cookies

You have several options:

4.1. Using our cookie banner (if shown)

On your first visit (and sometimes again after changes), you may see a cookie banner that lets you:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject non-essential cookies
• Or customise your choices (where available)

You can change your mind at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" button that appears when you scroll to the bottom of any page.

4.2. Using your browser

Most browsers let you:

• View which cookies are stored
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Delete existing cookies

Useful links (for guidance – may change over time):

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Block all cookies / Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Blocking all cookies may impact how Game Compass works.

5. Third-party cookies

We try to minimise third-party cookies. However, some services we embed or link to may set their own cookies, for example:

• Embedded videos or content from external platforms
• Analytics or performance tools (if we use them)

These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend you read.

6. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Policy if:

• We add or remove cookies or tools
• Laws or regulations change
• We change how we ask for consent

We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top, and may show a new banner if changes are significant.
