Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to site owners. Cookies set by GameHost are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by others are called "third-party cookies."

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

RequiredRetention: Session / up to 1 year

These cookies are required for our website and billing portal to function. They include session authentication tokens that keep you logged in, CSRF protection tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery attacks, and shopping cart state. You cannot opt out of these cookies without losing access to your account.

Examples: PHPSESSID, _csrf_token, cart_id

Preference Cookies

OptionalRetention: Up to 1 year

These cookies remember choices you have made — such as your cookie consent decision, your preferred language, and your control panel theme. Disabling them means your preferences will not be saved between visits.

Examples: cookie_consent, lang_pref, theme

Analytics Cookies

OptionalRetention: Up to 90 days

We use privacy-preserving analytics to understand how visitors navigate our site in aggregate — which pages are most visited, how long sessions last, and where users abandon checkout flows. All data is anonymised. We do not use Google Analytics. We do not build individual user profiles.

Examples: Internal analytics only (no third-party trackers)

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our payment provider (Stripe) may set cookies on our checkout pages to facilitate secure payment processing and fraud detection. These are strictly necessary for completing a purchase. Stripe's cookie usage is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

We do not use advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or any behavioural targeting cookies. We do not allow third-party advertisers to place cookies on our site.

4. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You may accept all cookies or accept only strictly necessary ones.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining again when the banner reappears. You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings:

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your account and using our billing portal.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or change the cookies we use. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will re-display the consent banner so you can review and re-confirm your preferences.
