Cookie Policy & Information
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy describes how Phoenix Starforge Games (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies, browser storage, and related web technologies on our official website, https://phoenixstarforgegames.com.
We believe that browsing a game studio website should be transparent and privacy-respecting. This document provides clear, verifiable details regarding the technologies running on our site so you understand how your browser interacts with our pages.
2. What Cookies and Browser Storage Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by a web server when you access web pages. They are traditionally used by websites to remember user preferences, maintain active login sessions, or track browsing activity across sessions.
Local Storage and Session Storage are modern HTML5 browser storage mechanisms that allow web applications to store key-value data directly within your web browser. Session storage persists only while your browser tab remains open, whereas local storage persists until manually cleared. Although distinct in technical implementation, both mechanisms store information locally on your device.
3. Technologies Used on This Website
Following technical inspection of our website implementation, we can confirm the exact scope of browser storage technologies deployed:
Our application code does not set non-essential cookies, persistent advertising identifiers, or cross-site tracking beacons.
Our client-side interactive elements (such as contact forms and UI tabs) run entirely in-memory using React component state without saving data into your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage.
Typography assets are compiled and self-hosted locally by Next.js at build time. When you browse the site, your browser downloads fonts directly from our server without connecting to third-party font networks.
Underlying web hosting and reverse proxy servers (such as Nginx on Hostinger VPS) transmit standard HTTP headers and may set technical routing tokens strictly for network delivery, DDoS protection, or load distribution.
4. Essential Technologies
Essential technologies are technical elements strictly necessary for delivering the website securely and efficiently to your screen. On our website, this includes:
- TLS/HTTPS Security: Encrypted communications between your browser and our web server to protect data in transit.
- Static Asset Routing: Server routing protocols that serve pre-rendered HTML, optimized images, and JavaScript modules.
- Infrastructure Load Balancing: If configured by our hosting provider, transient server-level cookies may be used to balance incoming web traffic across nodes.
5. Analytics and Advertising
We can confirm that this website does not currently integrate Google Analytics (GA4), Meta Pixel, TikTok tracking pixels, or third-party behavioral advertising scripts. We do not profile your browsing habits, participate in commercial ad exchanges, or resell visitor telemetry.
6. Third-Party Content and External Platforms
Our website provides external links to our official social media channels, game distribution platforms, and partner services—such as YouTube, Telegram, LinkedIn, Steam, Epic Games Store, and Google Play.
When you click an external link, you leave our website and navigate to a third-party platform. Those external services maintain their own independent cookie policies, tracking pixels, and user account systems. We have no authority over the cookies or technologies placed by external services once you navigate away from our domain.
7. Managing Browser Storage
Every modern web browser provides settings that allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies and local storage on your device. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you whenever a cookie is offered:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Because Phoenix Starforge Games does not rely on tracking or session-dependent cookies for site navigation, clearing or disabling cookies in your browser will not impair your experience browsing our game showcase, development dispatches, or press resources.
8. Consent and Applicable Requirements
Under international privacy frameworks—including the European Union ePrivacy Directive and GDPR—websites must obtain prior user consent before placing non-essential tracking cookies or analytical beacons on a visitor's device.
Because our current website uses zero non-essential tracking cookies, zero marketing cookies, and zero third-party analytics scripts, no intrusive cookie consent banner is mandated for standard informational browsing of this site. If our studio implements optional analytics or external embedded widgets in the future, a compliant consent management mechanism will be introduced prior to deployment.
9. Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our technical infrastructure develops, new features are integrated, or regulatory requirements change. Revisions will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
10. Contact & Legal Review Status
For questions or technical inquiries regarding our cookie practices, please write to our privacy correspondence desk:
This Cookie Policy reflects the verified technical state of the website codebase as of 23 October 2026. It is marked for qualified legal review before public commercial launch and before integrating any third-party analytics or marketing scripts.
