Cookie Policy

Necessary storage

We store your current analytics choice (accepted or rejected) in your browser's local storage, under the key valorantstrike.analytics-consent.v2. A choice made with an earlier version of this site may be stored under valorantstrike.analytics-consent.v1 until you next make a choice. This isn't a cookie — it's local storage, a similar but separate browser mechanism — and it exists purely to remember your choice so you're not asked again on every visit. It contains no personal information, just your accepted/rejected preference.

Analytics cookies

When analytics is enabled, we load Google Analytics (GA4), which sets its own first-party cookies (typically named _ga and _ga_*) to distinguish you from other visitors and recognise return visits. For visitors in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada (outside Quebec) analytics is on by default. Elsewhere, including Quebec, these cookies do not load, and are not set, until you explicitly accept. Either way you can turn analytics on or off at any time from "Cookie & Analytics Settings" in the footer of any page.

We use this analytics data only to understand overall site usage — which pages are popular, how people navigate the site, and general traffic trends. We do not use it for advertising or to build an advertising profile of you.

Advertising cookies

We do not currently use advertising or ad-personalisation cookies. This site does not currently run any advertising.

Categories currently in use

• Necessary — your cookie-consent choice (local storage, always active, no toggle needed)
• Analytics — Google Analytics; on by default in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada (outside Quebec), off until you accept elsewhere, including Quebec

We don't currently use any other cookie category — no advertising, and no separate "functional/preferences" cookies beyond the consent choice above.

Managing your choice

Use "Cookie & Analytics Settings" in the footer of any page to turn analytics on or off at any time. Turning it off stops future analytics collection going forward; it can't retroactively undo anything already sent to Google before you rejected in the same browsing session.
