Cookie Policy

Okay, here’s a draft Cookie Policy for power-clash.com.

Important Considerations Before You Use This:

  1. Legal Review is Essential: This is a template draft. You must have a legal professional review and adapt it to ensure full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where power-clash.com operates or targets users (e.g., GDPR for EU/EEA, CCPA for California, specific Ukrainian laws, etc.). Data privacy laws are complex and vary.
  2. Actual Cookie Usage: You need to accurately identify all cookies and tracking technologies (first-party, third-party, session, persistent, etc.) that power-clash.com actually uses. This policy then needs to reflect that usage precisely. I’ve included common categories and examples relevant to a gaming platform, but you’ll need to fill in the specifics (e.g., the exact names of cookies from specific analytics providers, ad networks, or social media integrations you use).
  3. Cookie Consent Mechanism: A cookie policy needs to be paired with a robust cookie consent mechanism on your website (a banner or pop-up) that allows users to accept, reject, or manage their cookie preferences before non-essential cookies are placed. This policy should be linked from that banner.
  4. Updates: Cookie policies should be reviewed and updated regularly, especially if your website’s cookie usage changes.

Cookie Policy for Power-Clash.com

Last Updated: June 3, 2025

Welcome to Power-Clash.com. This Cookie Policy explains how Power-Clash.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit and interact with our website and services at power-clash.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Power-Clash.com) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, analytics, social media integrations). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website and services, provide personalized content, and facilitate core functionalities of our gaming platform.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its core features, such as accessing secure areas, logging into your account, maintaining your session, or allowing you to make purchases. Without these cookies, services like user authentication or shopping cart functionality cannot be provided.
    • Examples: Session cookies for user login, security cookies to protect against attacks, cookies to remember your consent preferences.
  • Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to its use. They help us remember your preferences (like language or region settings), customize content based on your past activity, and provide an overall better user experience.
    • Examples: Cookies that remember your preferred language, game settings, or previously viewed content.
  • Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website and services are being used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you. This data helps us improve our platform, identify popular features, and optimize user flows.
    • Examples: Google Analytics cookies to track page views, user paths, and engagement. [Add names of other analytics services if used, e.g., Amplitude, Mixpanel, game-specific analytics].
  • Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests and activity on our and other websites.
    • Examples: Cookies from advertising partners like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or other ad networks (if used). These might track your visits to deliver targeted ads.
  • Social Networking Cookies: These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Website through third-party social networking websites. They may also be used for advertising purposes by the social media platforms themselves.
    • Examples: Cookies associated with “Like” or “Share” buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Discord, etc. (if integrated).
  • [If applicable to your services]: Game-Specific / Platform Cookies: These cookies are directly related to the functionality of our gaming platform, allowing features like tracking game progress, linking to external game accounts, or enabling in-game communication.
    • Examples: Cookies storing user preferences for specific games, linking to your Steam/Epic Games/etc. account for authentication, remembering your in-game display name.

3. How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table below (if you provide one), or by setting your preferences in your web browser.

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Please note that if you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website and services may be restricted or impaired.

4. How to control cookies through your browser settings:

You can usually find these settings in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser.

5. What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

6. Do we use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

We do not currently use Flash cookies (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect information. However, our third-party partners (e.g., for embedded video players or games) may use them. For more information on how to control Flash cookies, you can visit the Adobe Flash Player Website Storage Settings panel.

7. Do we serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other directly identifying details unless you choose to provide these.

8. How often will we update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
