This page explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on gamebuffed.com, and what you can do about them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember things between page loads — for example that you are signed in. Similar technologies such as local storage work the same way and are covered by this policy.
Cookies we set
Strictly necessary
These are required for the Site to work and cannot be switched off.
- PHPSESSID — keeps your session alive so you stay signed in while you browse. Expires when you close your browser.
- Language preference — remembers the language you selected.
Functional
- Local storage — used to remember small preferences and, for some games, your progress or high score on this device.
Advertising
The Site is supported by advertising, and ads also appear inside some games. Advertising partners — including the game distributors that supply our catalogue and their ad networks — may set their own cookies to limit how often you see the same ad and to measure ad performance. We do not control these cookies, and we do not receive the personal data they collect.
Third-party content
Games on this Site are loaded from third-party servers inside an embedded frame. When you play a game, that provider can set its own cookies and receive your IP address and browser information. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
Some page resources (web fonts and icon libraries) are also loaded from third-party content delivery networks.
How to control cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you do this:
- Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings › Privacy
- Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out and may stop parts of the Site from working. Blocking advertising cookies does not remove ads; it makes them less relevant.
You can also opt out of personalised Google advertising at adssettings.google.com, and from many other networks at optout.aboutads.info.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Site changes. The “last updated” date above will change when we do.
