On this page 5 sections
What may be stored
| Storage | Purpose | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Better Auth session cookies | Keep an authorized administrator signed in | Administrator authentication |
| PARAGLIDE_LOCALE cookie | Remember the chosen supported language | Language preference |
| theme local-storage entry | Remember a selected display preference | The site’s theme system |
Local storage is kept by your browser and differs from a cookie, which may be included in requests to the site. The public guide uses its own dark presentation; the shared theme system also supports administrator screens. A theme preference can remain from a previous visit until you change or clear it.
What the public tools do
The search box filters published entries in the current page. The wipe calculator holds its entered opening time and result in page memory; it does not create a saved player profile. The Steam player-count page reads this website’s saved aggregate observations. A scheduled server-side collector contacts Steam every ten minutes and retains counts, UTC times and collection outcomes. The tool does not require a Steam login or save a player profile.
Optional analytics storage
Google Analytics 4 loads only after you choose Allow analytics. Until then, and after Decline analytics, this integration makes no requests to Google and sets no analytics cookies. Both choices leave the public guide and tools available.
| Storage | Purpose | When used |
|---|---|---|
| audience-analytics-consent-v1 in local storage | Remember allowed or declined analytics | After you choose; until you change or clear it |
| _ga and ga first-party cookies | Distinguish browser visits and sessions | Only after analytics consent; configured for up to one year |
Use Analytics preferences at the bottom of a public page to change your choice. Withdrawing consent clears this integration's first-party analytics cookies and reloads the page to stop the loaded tag. Clearing all site data also clears your remembered choice. If local storage is unavailable, the choice applies to the current page only.
We send public page paths without query strings or fragments. We do not send tool inputs or administrator activity. Advertising signals and automatic enhanced measurement are disabled. Hosting and security processing are separate from optional analytics; see the privacy notice and Google's cookie information.
Optional video players
Video preview images are local website assets. No YouTube player is loaded until you choose Load video. The embedded player then uses the privacy-enhanced YouTube domain, and any storage or data processing it performs follows YouTube/Google's own policies. Privacy-enhanced mode does not mean that all third-party processing is disabled. Read YouTube's embedding guidance and Google's privacy policy for the provider's controls.
Unloading a video removes the player from this page; it does not clear data already held by the provider. You may instead use the direct Watch on YouTube link, which opens the provider's own website.
Managing storage
Use your browser’s site-data settings to inspect or remove cookies and local storage for this domain. Clearing authentication storage may sign an administrator out. Clearing a language or display preference may reset the corresponding choice. Blocking all cookies can interfere with administrator sign-in; public article reading does not require an administrator session.
Follow a destination’s own controls when managing cookies on external sites. Current editorial contact availability is described on Contact.
