What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how visitors use pages. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This Cookie Policy explains how ragnarokthenewworld.wiki uses these technologies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and related technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: Enable core Site functionality such as navigation, security features, and load balancing through our CDN.
- Preferences: Remember your selected language when you switch between English, Indonesian, Thai, or Traditional Chinese versions.
- Analytics: Measure anonymous traffic patterns—pages viewed, referral sources, and device types—to improve content and performance.
- Embedded media: YouTube embeds on guide pages may set cookies when you interact with the video player.
We do not use cookies to sell your data to advertisers or to track you across unrelated websites for targeted advertising, unless we explicitly disclose a change in a future update.
Types of Cookies We May Set
| Category | Example | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | CDN security token | Session | Protect against abuse and deliver content |
| Preference | lang_pref | 30 days | Remember language selection |
| Analytics | _analytics_id | 13 months | Count unique visits anonymously |
| Third-party | YouTube YSC | Varies | Video playback and Google services |
Exact cookie names may change as we update hosting or analytics providers. This table represents typical categories rather than a fixed inventory.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by services we integrate but do not control:
- Cloudflare: May set cookies for security, performance, and bot management when the Site uses Cloudflare infrastructure.
- YouTube / Google: Guide pages load YouTube iframes on demand. Playing a video may activate Google cookies governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Analytics providers: If enabled, analytics scripts may set first-party or third-party cookies to distinguish returning visitors without storing personally identifiable information.
We recommend reviewing third-party policies when you interact with embedded content.
Managing Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies through several methods:
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. Consult your browser's help documentation for steps.
- Private browsing: Incognito or private modes typically discard session cookies when you close the window.
- Opt-out tools: Some analytics providers offer global opt-out browser extensions.
- Do Not Track: We honor applicable legal requirements regarding Do Not Track signals where required by law, though industry standards vary.
Blocking all cookies may prevent language preferences from persisting and could affect CDN security features. Core wiki reading should remain available.
Local Storage for Tools
Interactive tools (ASPD Calculator, Refine Cost Planner) may use browser local storage or session storage to remember your last inputs during a visit. This data stays on your device and is not uploaded to our servers. Clearing site data in your browser removes these stored values.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add features, change analytics providers, or update legal requirements. Check this page periodically for the latest version. Significant changes will be reflected with an updated date below.
Effective date: July 2026. Related documents: Privacy Policy | Terms of Service.
