Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. These sites also keep a few settings in your browser’s own storage. Here is what the sites of Virtus Invicta use, and why. It is the same on every site.
What we use
| Kind | What it does | Your choice |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Set by these sites to keep you signed in, on every site (aerth.session_token and its companions), and to protect sign-in against forgery and abuse. They are set only when you sign in or join, and removed when you sign out. | Always on. Signing in cannot work without them. |
| Your settings | Kept in your browser by these sites and never sent to us: whether a contents panel is open (aerth-contents, biblos-contents), and how you last sorted the list of sources of ΒΙΒΛΟΣ ΤΑΚΤΙΚΗ (bt-sources, forgotten when you close the tab). | Always on. They only remember what you chose. |
| YouTube’s player | Only when you choose to play a song or a video (a song, “♪ Listen”, or “Watch on this page”): the player is loaded from YouTube, and YouTube and Google may set their own cookies and similar storage, including for their own statistics and advertising. The videos on the music page use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. See Google’s Privacy Policy. | Only if you press play. Nothing from YouTube loads before that. |
| Spotify’s player | Only when you press “Listen on Spotify, on this page”: the player is loaded from Spotify, which may set its own cookies. See Spotify’s Privacy and Cookie Policies. | Only if you press it. |
| Our own statistics or advertising | Not used. | Off. |
We host our own fonts, so your browser does not contact Google or other font services when you visit.
Changing your mind
The sites set only what they need to work. Nothing from YouTube or Spotify loads unless you press play, so there is nothing to switch on or off. You can clear cookies in your browser at any time; you will then need to sign in again. To remove YouTube’s or Spotify’s cookies, clear them in your browser, or use the settings of those services.
