Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 28, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how visitors use the site. Some features also use localStorage, which stores small pieces of data in your browser but is not technically a cookie.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Session Management: To maintain your login session on the Eldrahn Wiki (Wiki.js).
- Analytics: To understand how visitors use Eldrahn Online (only if you enable analytics).
- Embedded Media: To allow video platforms (such as YouTube) to deliver content (only if analytics is enabled).
- Preferences: Your cookie preference is stored in localStorage, not a cookie.
3. Types of Cookies
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for Eldrahn Online to function. They include Wiki.js session cookies and security-related cookies. Without these cookies, core features of the site may not work.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies are used only if you choose to enable analytics. Google Analytics uses these cookies to collect information such as page views, navigation paths, and interactions with embedded videos.
Third‑Party Cookies
Some pages contain embedded videos. If analytics is enabled, YouTube may set cookies to track usage and optimize playback.
If analytics is disabled, we use privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embeds that do not set cookies.
