How We Use Cookies
We treat cookies with the same precision we apply to our game mechanics. This policy details what we collect, why we need it, and how you control it. No hidden trackers, no unnecessary data.
Gametory uses a minimal set of cookies to maintain session integrity, understand how developers use our tools, and ensure performance. We do not use advertising trackers or sell data to third parties. You can manage preferences directly in your browser or via our contact form.
Our Cookie Decision Lens
Every cookie on Gametory serves a specific, functional purpose. We evaluate each against three criteria before implementation.
1. Essential Functionality
Does this cookie enable a core site feature (login, saving preferences, maintaining a session)?
2. Performance & Stability
Does this cookie help us diagnose errors, measure load times, or prevent crashes?
3. User Insight
Does this cookie provide aggregated, anonymized data on how tools are used?
Annotation
A developer's view: only essential, named cookies are permitted. This is our technical standard.
Cookie Categories & Specifics
Strictly Necessary
Always OnThese cookies are fundamental to the operation of Gametory.pro. They enable session management, security features, and load balancing. Disabling these will break core functionality like logging in or saving project data between visits.
- gt_session: A temporary token identifying your current session (expires when you close your browser).
- gt_csrf: A security token that prevents cross-site request forgery attacks.
Performance & Analytics
OptionalThese cookies collect anonymized data on site performance and usage patterns. We use this data to identify bottlenecks (e.g., slow tool loading times) and understand which features are most valuable to developers. All data is aggregated and cannot be traced back to an individual user.
- gt_perf: Tracks page load times, error rates, and asset performance.
- gt_events: Logs anonymized interactions with our tool suite (e.g., "Project Export Initiated").
Third-Party (Limited)
ConditionalWe minimally integrate with essential third-party services. Their cookies are only used for the explicit service they provide (e.g., video embedding). We do not allow social media or advertising trackers on our site.
- Youtube/Iframe: Used when embedding official tutorial videos. Governed by their privacy policy.
Developer Note
From a Unity developer's perspective: managing cookies is like managing serialization settings. We keep them explicit and scoped, just like we do with our project saves. No hidden globals.
You Are In Control
Your privacy is not a setting we hide. As a developer yourself, you understand the importance of data integrity and user choice. Here are your options.
Browser-Level Management
You can configure your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to block or delete cookies. This will affect Gametory and all other sites you visit.
