Cookie Policy
The full list of cookies and similar technologies used on Hage Game, what each one does, and how to say no.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are commonly used to remember preferences (e.g. your language), to make pages load faster, to keep advertising relevant, and to measure whether a site is working well. Closely related are localStorage and sessionStorage, which are similar but live in your browser only and are not transmitted to the server.
2. Our default position
By default, Hage Game does not set any non-essential cookies. We use Google Consent Mode v2, which means until you explicitly accept, the following are denied:
- Advertising cookies (
ad_storage) - Advertising user-data signals (
ad_user_data) - Ad personalisation (
ad_personalization) - Analytics storage (
analytics_storage)
Only the following are allowed by default, because the site cannot function without them:
- Functionality storage (your consent choice itself; preferences such as language)
- Security storage (basic anti-fraud signals)
3. Cookies and storage we set ourselves
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
hage_cmp_v1 | localStorage | Stores your cookie-consent choice so we don't ask again every page-load. | 13 months or until cleared |
That's the complete list. We do not set any other first-party cookies or storage values. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools.
4. Cookies set by Google AdSense (only with consent)
With your consent, Google AdSense sets cookies in your browser to serve advertising. The cookies Google uses for advertising are listed at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. The most common are:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__gads | Hage Game domain (set by Google's JS) | Frequency-capping, ad measurement. | 13 months |
__gpi | Hage Game domain (set by Google's JS) | Personalised advertising signalling. | 13 months |
NID / IDE | Google domains | Ad personalisation across Google services. | 6–24 months |
Google may set or read additional cookies under its advertising network depending on whether you are signed in to a Google account and which Google products you use.
5. Cookies from Google Fonts
Google Fonts does not set cookies in your browser. However, fetching a font from fonts.googleapis.com sends your IP address to Google.
6. How to control cookies
You have several layers of control:
- The Hage Game consent banner. The first time you visit, a banner offers two choices: "Accept All" and "Reject Non-Essential". You can change this anytime by clearing the
hage_cmp_v1entry from your browser's site storage, which will cause the banner to appear again on your next visit. - Your browser settings. All modern browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies for individual sites. Look for "Privacy and security" or "Site settings" in your browser's preferences.
- Google's ad settings. At google.com/settings/ads you can opt out of personalised advertising for all of Google's network at once.
- Industry opt-out portals. The Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (youronlinechoices.eu) provide central opt-outs.
7. Do Not Track
Most browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry consensus on how to respond to it, so we treat its presence as one factor when serving non-personalised ads, but we rely primarily on your explicit choice through the consent banner.
8. Changes
We update this list when the cookies in use on the Site change. The last update is dated at the bottom of this page.
