Cookies and storage

1. What storage means

Cookies are small browser files. localStorage and sessionStorage follow different storage rules but may also require notice and consent. This policy covers these and equivalent technologies. Fingerprinting is not used as a hidden alternative to cookies.

Necessary does not mean everything useful to a business: it means communication or a requested function actually needs it. User-requested preferences and match secrets have a limited functional purpose, not advertising reuse.

2. Current configuration and categories

The landing serves local assets and does not set game authentication cookies. Both sites remember privacy preferences. Google Analytics loads only if you allow analytics; advertising, GTM and newsletters remain disabled. Rejection does not prevent browsing or play.

Analytics measures usage without identifying pilots by wallet. Advertising/marketing covers campaign measurement and behavioral advertising only when enabled and authorized. Personalization adapts non-requested content to interests. All three default off; unavailable categories cannot be accepted. Necessary storage cannot be switched off in the panel, but browser deletion remains possible and may lose a session or a match secret.

On a first visit without saved choices, an information notice appears. Continue with necessary storage only or open settings. This does not activate Analytics, advertising or advance permissions for future tools. Existing valid choices, including an applied GPC signal, are not repeatedly requested on each page.

3. Verified first-party inventory

The table distinguishes logical expiry from physical deletion. Functional session/preferences storage appears when its feature is used. Variable keys are shown as patterns. The items below serve functional purposes or remember privacy choices.

4. Providers and storage still to verify

Reown/WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, World App and the World ID popup may open other origins and use their own connection storage. Behavior depends on the provider, version and device. Connecting a wallet does not consent to advertising. See the official policies linked in our privacy notice or email support@air-battle.com for information about their technologies.

5. Google Analytics with consent

Only after analytics acceptance does Google Analytics 4 (G-6HSKB559FW) load and potentially set _ga and _ga_6HSKB559FW to recognize the browser and session. The tag is configured for a maximum expiry of 180 days, without automatically extending it on each visit. Browser controls may shorten that period. Google Ads cookies are not installed.

Basic Consent Mode: analytics_storage becomes granted only after acceptance. ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization remain denied. Withdrawal blocks new sends, removes accessible analytics cookies for this site and reloads without the tag. Withdrawal does not automatically delete data already received by Google; contact support to exercise your rights.

GTM-WD7PGD2H is not loaded, avoiding duplicate installation or additional tags. Corporate identifiers GTM-WZGLXDDH and G-JSE8MCLYBM are not used in Air Battle.

6. Choices, withdrawal and opt-out

Open “Privacy settings” from any page. Reject all optional categories, accept available categories or save a selection. Rejection alone does not prevent browsing or play. Withdrawal applies to the future without changing lawfulness of prior processing. It prevents new optional loads; if tags had run, their verified withdrawal and deletion mechanisms must be applied.

“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” records an advertising sale/sharing opt-out. GPC overrides earlier marketing choices while active. The audited configuration does not engage in that sale/sharing. These choices require no sign-in or identity verification.

General preferences last 180 days; advertising opt-outs are remembered for at least 12 months. Over HTTPS, the necessary airbattle_privacy_choices cookie remembers current choices across air-battle.com, www.air-battle.com and its subdomains, including play.air-battle.com. It contains no wallet, email or sign-in cookies. A shared analytics permission is applied only after server receipt verification; a modified cookie is not proof of consent. It does not authorize new purposes or future providers. Localhost preferences remain separate by origin. Clearing storage or changing devices may require another choice. GPC overrides marketing.

7. Contact and updates

Contact: support@air-battle.com. Scheduled effective date: 11/20/2026 at 12:00 PM UTC. Changes to optional providers or purposes will be explained and renewed consent obtained where required before activation.
