Cookie Policy
Last updated 12 August 2026 · Azurite Solutions LLC
This policy covers cookies and similar technologies - anything we store on or read from your device.
Starfire uses no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies. We do not run ads, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not share what you do here with anyone who does.
What we store
Strictly necessary
These make the site and the game work. They cannot be turned off, because turning them off means you cannot log in.
| What | Where | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session token | Session storage | Keeps you logged in. Cleared when you close the tab. | Up to 7 days, or until you close the tab |
| Selected character | Session storage | Remembers which character you are playing. | Until you close the tab |
| Cookie preference | Local storage | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner, so we stop asking. | 12 months |
| Display preferences | Local storage | Client settings such as layout and sound. | Until you clear them |
Note that these are browser storage rather than cookies: they stay on your device and are never transmitted automatically with every request the way a cookie is.
Analytics
We use a self-hosted, privacy-preserving analytics tool to count page views and see which pages are useful. It is cookieless: it stores nothing on your device, sets no identifier, does not track you between sites or between visits, and collects no personal data. It records the page, the referrer, and coarse information such as country and device type, all in aggregate.
Because it stores nothing on your device and cannot identify you, it does not require consent - but you can still opt out below, and we will honour it.
Payments
When you go through checkout, our payment provider sets its own cookies to process the transaction and prevent fraud. These are strictly necessary for a purchase you have chosen to make, and are governed by that provider's own cookie and privacy policies. They are only set if you start a checkout.
Managing your choices
Use the cookie settings link in the footer to change your analytics preference at any time.
You can also clear or block browser storage in your browser's settings. Blocking it entirely will stop you being able to log in, because the session token has nowhere to live.
Most browsers also send a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal. We honour GPC as an opt-out of analytics.
Changes
If we add anything that stores data on your device, this page is updated before it ships and the change is announced on the news page.
