Cookie Policy

This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this site, why we use them, and how you can control them. It is written in plain language — no legal jargon.

A cookie is a tiny text file that a website drops on your device. It lets the site — or a partner working with the site — recognise your browser when you come back. Cookies cannot run code or read files from your computer; they simply store a small piece of information that the site can read on your next visit.

We use cookies for three things: to make the site work (remembering your consent choice), to understand how readers use our guides so we can improve them, and — only after you say yes — to measure and improve the ads and affiliate links that fund this site.

These are the cookies the site cannot function without. The main one is a consent cookie that remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so the banner does not pop up every time you visit. You cannot switch these off without breaking the site.

These cookies let us see which pages get read, where visitors come from, and how long they stay. The data is aggregated — we see that "200 people read the Crossout tutorial", not that "you" read it. This helps us decide which guides to write next and which ones need a refresh.

These cookies are set by us or by our ad and affiliate partners. They do two jobs: (1) they let us know whether a click on a partner link led to a purchase, so the right partner gets credited; and (2) they help ad networks show you relevant ads instead of the same one over and over. If you decline, none of these cookies are set.

The consent banner appears on your first visit and lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser cookies (which will reset the banner) or by using the banner again if it reappears. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

Some cookies on this site are placed by third parties — for example, our advertising platforms and our affiliate network. We do not control how those partners use the data they collect; please check their own privacy and cookie policies for details. We only work with partners who commit to industry-standard privacy practices.

For the full picture on how we and our partners handle the data collected through cookies, see our Privacy Policy. If you have a question about a specific cookie you have spotted, email us at info@lorvix.online and we will point you to the right place.
