Cookies Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They contain information about your browsing activity and are commonly used to remember your preferences, login information, and to analyze website traffic. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners.

2. How We Use (or Don't Use) Cookies

Amalgama Online is committed to privacy-friendly web practices. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies and does not track personal data. Plausible measures aggregate page views without collecting or storing any personally identifiable information.

Because Plausible is cookieless, our Site does not require a cookie consent banner under the GDPR or the ePrivacy Directive. We do not set any advertising, tracking, or third-party cookies.

3. Types of Cookies (For Reference)

While we do not use cookies on our Site, here is a general overview of cookie types for your information:

• Strictly necessary cookies: essential for the website to function. We do not use these.
• Functional cookies: remember your preferences and settings. We do not use these.
• Analytics cookies: collect information about how visitors use the site. We use Plausible Analytics instead, which is cookieless.
• Advertising cookies: used to deliver relevant ads. We do not use these.

4. Local Storage and Session Storage

Our Site may use browser local storage and session storage to remember certain user preferences (such as game progress or UI state). These are not cookies and do not track you across other websites. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.

5. Your Consent

Because we do not use cookies that require consent under the GDPR or ePrivacy Directive, no cookie consent banner is displayed on our Site. If we ever introduce cookies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.

6. How to Control Cookies

If you wish to control or delete cookies in your browser (for other sites you visit), most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find cookie settings in:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and other site permissions

7. Third-Party Services

While we do not intentionally place third-party cookies, third-party services we use (such as our hosting provider) may log standard server information like IP addresses. This is standard internet practice and does not constitute cookie-based tracking.

8. Data Retention

We do not retain cookie data. Plausible Analytics data is automatically aggregated and anonymized, and is retained according to Plausible's own data retention policy. No personal data is retained through cookies on our Site.

9. Compliance

This Cookies Policy complies with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations. By using Plausible Analytics and respecting your cookie preferences, we ensure your data privacy rights are protected.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the date at the bottom of this policy.
