What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how pages are used.
This Cookie Policy explains how halocampaign-evolved.wiki uses cookies and similar technologies such as local storage.
How We Use Cookies
Essential cookies: Required for basic operation — for example, remembering your selected language locale or storing your cookie consent choice. The Site cannot reliably honor locale preferences without these.
Analytics cookies (placeholder): We may enable privacy-conscious analytics to measure aggregate traffic — such as page views and referrers — so we know which guides need updates after launch. Analytics cookies, if activated, would not be used to sell your data or track you across unrelated websites.
We do not use advertising or social-media tracking pixels at launch. If that changes, this policy and any consent banner will be updated first.
Cookie Categories
Strictly necessary: Language preference, consent state, CDN security tokens. These do not require consent in many jurisdictions because the Site cannot function as intended without them.
Analytics (optional): Anonymous or pseudonymous session identifiers, visit counts, and performance metrics. Where required by law, we will ask for consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies.
We do not use "marketing" or "profiling" cookie categories on this fan wiki.
Third-Party Cookies
Our hosting and CDN provider may set cookies or use similar storage for security, bot protection, and performance. Those are governed by the provider's policies.
Outbound links to Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, or Halo Waypoint may set cookies on those domains when you visit them. We do not control third-party cookies.
Local Storage & Similar Tech
Besides cookies, the Site may store a locale or UI preference in localStorage or sessionStorage. This behaves like a cookie but stays in your browser until cleared.
Clearing site data in your browser removes these stored values.
Managing Your Choices
Browser controls: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser — search for "manage cookies" in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge help docs.
Consent banner: Where implemented, you can accept or reject optional analytics cookies. Rejecting optional cookies will not block access to wiki content.
Do Not Track: We do not respond to DNT signals in a standardized way because industry practice varies; optional analytics will still respect your explicit consent choices where required.
Updates to This Policy
If we add analytics providers, embed widgets, or change hosting, we will update this Cookie Policy and, when needed, prompt for renewed consent.
Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy unless your jurisdiction requires additional steps.
