2. What cookies are
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website work, keep you logged in, remember choices, protect forms, process payments, prevent fraud, or measure how the website is used.
Some cookies are set directly by us. Others may be set by third-party services that we use to operate the website, such as payment processing, bot protection, security, hosting, or email-related services.
3. How we use cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- keep you signed in and maintain secure sessions;
- protect forms, checkout, account actions, and support messages from abuse;
- remember essential website choices, such as whether you have seen the cookie notice;
- support checkout, payment processing, refunds, fraud checks, and order fulfilment;
- detect duplicate accounts, ban evasion, suspicious activity, payment abuse, and security threats;
- operate affiliate/referral tracking where needed to attribute a referred signup or order;
- support captcha/bot protection and website security;
- load website assets and provide core customer-area features.
4. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies are required for the website to work, to provide a service you request, or to keep the website and users secure. They cannot be switched off through our website.
We may use strictly necessary cookies and storage for:
- PHP/login session management;
- CSRF protection and one-time form-submit protection;
- age verification, account security, authentication, and staff/client access controls;
- checkout state, Stripe payment processing, payment security, and fraud prevention;
- Friendly Captcha or similar bot-protection checks;
- security logging, duplicate-account prevention, and abuse detection;
- remembering that you have seen the cookie notice.
Blocking these technologies may stop login, checkout, security checks, customer-area features, or payment processing from working properly.

6. Optional analytics, advertising, and marketing cookies
We do not currently use optional advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, cross-site tracking pixels, session replay tools, or optional analytics cookies for marketing profiling.
If this changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
7. Third-party services
Some third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies when you interact with website features. These may include:
- Stripe for checkout, payments, payment security, and fraud prevention;
- Friendly Captcha or similar services for bot protection;
- Discord where you choose to use Discord login or Discord-related features;
- hosting, security, email, and infrastructure providers where needed to operate the website.
Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy and cookie notices. We only use these services where they support the operation, security, payment, or account features of the website.
8. Local storage and similar technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage or similar browser storage to remember essential interface choices, such as whether the cookie notice has been acknowledged. Similar technologies are covered by this policy where they store or access information on your device.
9. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the website from working, including login, checkout, support, security checks, or payment processing.
Because we do not currently use optional marketing or advertising cookies, the website does not provide a detailed marketing cookie preference centre. If optional cookies are introduced, appropriate consent controls will be added where required.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, cookies, legal requirements, or third-party services change. The latest version will be shown on this page.
