SpiritVale Wiki – Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how SpiritVale Wiki uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the site with cookies enabled in your browser, you consent to cookie use as described here unless you adjust your settings.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember preferences, maintain sessions, measure traffic, and deliver embedded content. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy refers to all such technologies collectively as cookies where applicable.
Cookies may be first-party (set by SpiritVale Wiki) or third-party (set by embedded services like analytics or video platforms).
Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Site functionality, security, load balancing | Session to persistent |
| Preferences | Language selection, display options | Persistent |
| Analytics | Aggregate visit statistics, content performance | Varies by provider |
| Embedded media | Video players, external content delivery | Third-party controlled |
Essential cookies are necessary for basic site operation. Disabling them may impair functionality. Non-essential cookies support improvements and media embeds.
Third-Party Cookies
SpiritVale Wiki pages may embed YouTube videos for guide content such as beginner walkthroughs and refining tutorials. YouTube and Google may set cookies when you play or load embedded players. Analytics providers, if enabled, may set cookies to distinguish unique visitors in aggregate.
We do not control third-party cookie lifecycles or data practices. Consult those providers' policies for opt-out mechanisms. Loading embedded content typically requires accepting some third-party cookies unless privacy-enhanced embed modes are used.
Managing Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies through:
- Browser settings: Block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete stored cookies
- Private browsing: Limits persistence of session cookies
- Provider opt-outs: Analytics and advertising industry opt-out tools where applicable
- Consent banners: If displayed, use on-site controls to accept or reject non-essential categories
Blocking all cookies may prevent language preference memory or cause repeated consent prompts. Essential site reading usually remains possible with strict blocking, but embedded videos may fail to load.
Do Not Track and Updates
Some browsers send Do Not Track signals. SpiritVale Wiki does not guarantee uniform responses to DNT signals because industry standards vary. Use explicit cookie browser controls for reliable preference enforcement.
We update this Cookies Policy when technologies or providers change. Check this page periodically for revisions. Effective date: July 2026.
Questions about cookie practices may be directed through site contact methods when published.
