Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small alphanumeric text files and local storage tokens that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit web pages. Cookies allow websites to remember user preferences, maintain session stability, and provide aggregated insights regarding how visitors interact with digital content.

In addition to standard HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize localStorage key-value pairs stored in your browser sandbox to retain interface configurations without transmitting data across every network request.

2. Our Approach to Cookies

UK Occult Warp Drift ("we", "us", or "our") enforces a privacy-first standard across ukoccultwarpdrift.com. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising cookies, nor do we track your navigation history across third-party websites.

In compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies are deployed upon site initialization, while optional analytical measurements require your active consent.

3. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
