Cookies Policy

About This Policy

This policy explains how Enchanted Fury uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It covers what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control their use.

By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can adjust your preferences at any time using the methods described below.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make websites function efficiently and provide information to site owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain).

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. For simplicity, this policy refers to all these technologies collectively as "cookies."

Why We Use Cookies

Cookies serve several important purposes on our website:

Essential Functionality

Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. These enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Performance and Analytics

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and any error messages encountered. This data helps us improve website performance and user experience.

User Preferences

Cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region. This allows us to provide a more personalised experience by remembering your preferences across visits.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to operate. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you've requested cannot be provided.

Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent choices and maintain security during your browsing session.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they are placed automatically and cannot be refused without severely impacting site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous, helping us identify patterns such as which pages are most popular, where visitors spend the most time, and what content might need improvement.

This data includes metrics like page views, session duration, bounce rates, and referral sources. It helps us make informed decisions about site improvements and content development.

You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie banner or your browser settings. Refusing these cookies will not affect your ability to use the website.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we've incorporated into our pages.

Functional cookies remember choices like text size, fonts, and other customisable page elements. They provide improved, more personal features but are not essential for basic site operation.

If you disable functional cookies, some services may not function properly, though basic website access will remain available.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website may include content or functionality from third parties, such as embedded maps or social media features. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content on our site.

We don't control these third-party cookies. To understand what information they collect and how it's used, please review the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third parties.

We carefully select third-party services and only work with providers who demonstrate appropriate data protection standards, but we cannot be responsible for their cookie practices.

How Long Cookies Remain

The duration cookies remain on your device varies depending on their type and purpose:

Session Cookies

These are temporary and automatically deleted when you close your browser. They're used for essential functions like maintaining your session as you move between pages.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually. They remember information across browsing sessions, such as your cookie preferences or site settings.

Our persistent cookies typically expire after 12 to 24 months, though some may have shorter durations. Each cookie contains an expiration date that determines when it will be automatically removed.

Managing Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookie use on our website:

Cookie Banner

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner allowing you to accept all cookies or customise your preferences. You can access these settings again at any time through the cookie preferences link in our website footer.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when cookies are being sent.

Browser settings vary, but you can usually find cookie controls in the privacy or security sections of your browser preferences. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

Browser Add-Ons

Various browser extensions and add-ons are available for managing cookies and tracking technologies. These tools provide granular control over which cookies are accepted and can block certain types of tracking.

Limitations of Disabling Cookies

While you can refuse cookies, doing so may limit your ability to use certain features of our website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without severely affecting site functionality.

If you use multiple devices or browsers to access our website, you'll need to configure cookie preferences separately on each one.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you don't want your online activity tracked. Currently, there's no uniform standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

We respect user privacy preferences, but until industry standards are established, our website does not specifically respond to Do Not Track browser signals. You can still control cookies through the methods described in this policy.

Mobile Devices

Mobile devices and apps may use technologies similar to cookies, such as device identifiers and local storage. If you access our website through a mobile browser, the cookie controls described above generally apply.

Mobile operating systems may also provide settings to limit tracking. Check your device's privacy settings for options related to advertising identifiers and tracking.

Changes to Cookie Usage

We may update our cookie practices as our website evolves or as legal requirements change. When we make significant changes, we'll update this policy and modify the "last updated" date at the top.

If changes substantially affect how we use cookies or your privacy, we'll provide more prominent notice, such as a banner on our website or notification through other communication channels available to us.

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about our cookie practices.

Data Protection and Privacy

Information collected through cookies is subject to our Privacy Policy and GDPR commitments. We handle cookie data in accordance with UK data protection law and implement appropriate security measures to protect it.

For more information about how we collect, use, and protect personal information, please review our separate Privacy Policy and GDPR documentation.
