This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser's local storage) the Game Strategies online store (store.gamestrategies.io) uses, what they are for and how you can accept them, reject them or change your mind.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser to remember information about your visit. Local storage works in a similar way. Some are essential for the website to work; others, such as analytics cookies, are only set if you accept them.
Your choice
The first time you visit, we show you a notice to accept, reject or configure non-essential cookies. Rejecting them does not stop you from using the store or buying. We keep your choice for 12 months; after that, or if the cookies we use change, we will ask you again.
You can change your choice at any time here or from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer:
Cookies we use
Necessary
They do not require your consent: without them the store would not work or would not remember the options you choose.
| Name | Owner | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| gs_consent | Game Strategies (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice. | 12 months |
| gs_lang | Game Strategies (local storage) | Remembers the language you chose. | Until you delete it |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Tells people from bots apart to protect the store (only if that protection is active). | 30 minutes |
Analytics (only if you accept them)
They tell us how many people visit the store, which pages they see and how they arrive, so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4, by Google Ireland Limited. They are not loaded until you accept them.
| Name | Owner | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Tells visitors apart with a random identifier. | 2 years | |
| _ga_3XTTRHX8BE | Keeps the session state. | 2 years |

Third-party services
- Payment (Stripe). When you press "Buy now" you go to Stripe's payment page (checkout.stripe.com), which uses its own cookies, needed for the payment and to prevent fraud. See the Stripe cookie policy.
- Video (Vimeo). The video on the home page is not loaded until you press play. It then plays from Vimeo in "do not track" mode, without tracking cookies. See the Vimeo cookie policy.
How to delete or block cookies in your browser
Besides the settings panel, you can delete or block cookies in your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. If you block all of them, some features of the store may not work properly.
