Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Wildnut Studios (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit this website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies.
Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
- Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Analytics and customization cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.
- Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
Google Consent Mode
What is Google Consent Mode?
Google Consent Mode is a feature that allows us to manage how Google tags on our website interact with cookies and personal data based on your consent preferences. This feature helps us respect your cookie choices while ensuring that our use of Google services, such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, remains effective and compliant with privacy regulations.
How Does It Affect You?
When you visit our website, you will be prompted to provide your consent for cookies and other tracking technologies. Depending on your choices, our website will adjust how it deploys Google’s services:
- If you consent to the use of performance cookies, Google Analytics will be allowed to collect statistical data about your interaction with our website, which helps us improve your user experience.
- If you consent to the use of advertising cookies, Google Ads will use cookies to serve you more relevant ads and measure their performance.
Duration of the Storage of the Collected Data
The cookies used by Google Analytics are persistent cookies with a lifespan of up to two years. This duration allows us to compare user behavior over a meaningful period to make informed improvements to our website. After this period, the cookies are automatically deleted unless renewed by revisiting our site.
IP Anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the U.S. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the U.S. and shortened there. This process significantly reduces the possibility of personal data association.
Further Information
For further details on how Google uses data when you use our site and how you can control the information sent to Google, please visit Google’s site at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your Choices and Consent
Upon your first visit, a cookie consent banner will appear, allowing you to make informed choices about the cookies and tracking technologies you allow during your visit. You can customize your preferences, reject non-essential cookies, or withdraw your consent entirely at any time via our cookie settings panel. We commit to processing your data in accordance with your preferences and applicable legal requirements.
As a user, you have the right to object to the processing of your data by Google Analytics. You can do this by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which prevents the analytics tool from accessing your data. For more information on how to manage and delete Google Analytics cookies, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page.
Additionally, if you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
Managing Your Data
You have the right to access, correct, and delete any personal information that we collect, subject to certain exceptions. For more information on how you can manage your information and your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
