Plain-language summary: this page explains the rules and choices that apply to the current Echoing Shards website and pre-release game experience.
01
About cookies and local storage
Cookies are small text files a website can place on your device. Local storage is a similar browser feature that can remember information between visits. Both can support essential functions, preferences, measurement, or personalization.
Your selection above is stored locally under echoing-shards-cookie-preferences so the site can remember it. Clearing browser data removes that selection.
02
What this site currently uses
The current Echoing Shards website does not load advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics. Hosting and security systems may process short-lived technical data needed to deliver pages and protect the service.
If non-essential technology is added later, it will remain disabled unless your saved choice permits it or another lawful basis applies. This page will be updated to identify the provider, purpose, and duration.
03
Preference categories
Strictly necessary storage supports security, network delivery, and your privacy choice. Analytics would measure how the site performs and which areas are useful. Personalization would remember optional experience choices.
Advertising cookies are not part of the current site and are not included as a preference category.
04
Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent the site from remembering your preferences, but the public pages should remain available.
Browser controls vary by product and device. Look for privacy, site data, cookies, or tracking protection in your browser settings.
05
Updates to these settings
We will revise this page when the technologies used by Echoing Shards change. If a change materially affects your choices, we may ask you to review them again.
For more about how information is handled, read the Privacy Policy.
