What runs in your browser.
A plain-English summary of the cookies and local storage GameXcel relies on. Last updated: June 2026.
This document is a template. It is provided as a starting point and is not legal advice. The GameXcel team should review and adapt it with qualified counsel before relying on it in production.
What cookies and local storage are.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Modern web apps also use localStorage and sessionStorage, which serve a similar purpose.
Together these allow a site to remember things between page loads — whether you are signed in, your UI preferences, and similar state. GameXcel uses the minimum needed to make the product work.
Essential storage only.
When you sign in, the authentication client stores a session token in your browser's localStorage so you stay signed in between visits. Without it, the app cannot keep you authenticated.
Small flags such as the state of dismissible banners, the selected theme, or recently-used filters. Stored locally in your browser; not transmitted to our servers.
Short-lived cookies set by the hosting platform to mitigate CSRF and other common web attacks.
GameXcel does not set advertising cookies and does not share data with ad networks.
Aggregated, opt-in if added later.
We do not currently run third-party analytics in the browser. If we add a privacy-friendly analytics tool in the future, this page will be updated and, where required, you will be asked for consent before any non-essential storage is set.
Server-side request logs (which include IP address and user agent) are kept short-term for security and abuse prevention and are described in the Privacy Policy.
Set by tools we rely on.
The authentication client stores its session under a key starting with sb- in localStorage. Required for sign-in to work.
The hosting platform may set short-lived cookies for routing, caching, or DDoS protection. These do not identify you personally.
How to clear or block it.
Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies and localStorage. Look for "Privacy" or "Site data" in your browser's settings, or use a private/incognito window for a session that is cleared automatically when you close it.
Blocking essential storage will sign you out of GameXcel and prevent the app from working correctly.
When this policy updates.
We will update this page if we change which cookies or browser storage we use. Material changes will be announced with a new "last updated" date and, where required, with a renewed consent prompt.
