Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2025

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them on playfusex.com.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help sites remember information about your visit, like your login status or preferences.

Most websites use cookies. They're generally harmless and actually make your browsing experience better by remembering things so you don't have to re-enter information constantly.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They handle things like keeping you logged into the student portal and remembering your cookie preferences.

You can't disable these through our cookie banner because the site wouldn't work properly without them. But you can block them through your browser settings if you really want to.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our site. This tells us which pages are popular, how long people spend reading, where they're located geographically, that sort of thing.

The data is anonymized - we can see that someone from Spain visited the services page, but not who specifically. This helps us improve the website and create content people actually want.

Preference Cookies

These remember choices you make on the site, like language preferences or whether you've dismissed certain notifications. They make the site more convenient to use.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services we use rather than by us directly.

Google Analytics

Google places cookies to track site usage. Their privacy policy covers how they handle this data. We've configured Analytics to anonymize IP addresses and not share data with other Google services.

Payment Processing

When you make a payment, Stripe might set cookies to prevent fraud and remember your payment information if you choose to save it. Those cookies are governed by Stripe's policies.

How Long Cookies Last

Session cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser. These are mostly used for essential site functions.

Persistent cookies stick around longer - usually between a month and two years. They remember things like your login status or cookie preferences so you don't have to reset them every visit.

Managing Cookies

When you first visit our site, you'll see a banner asking about cookie preferences. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customize which types you allow.

You can change your preferences anytime by clearing your browser cookies or adjusting settings through the banner that appears on your first visit.

Browser Settings

All modern browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or set rules about which sites can use them.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will break some website functionality. You might not be able to log in, or certain features won't work properly.

Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" setting. We respect this signal and won't load analytics cookies if we detect it's enabled.

Essential cookies will still function because they're necessary for the site to work, but we won't track your browsing behavior.

Cookie List

Here are the specific cookies we use:

playfusex_session

Essential cookie that maintains your login session. Expires when you close your browser.

cookie_consent

Remembers your cookie preferences so we don't show the banner every time you visit. Lasts for one year.

_ga, _gid, _gat

Google Analytics cookies that track site usage. The _ga cookie lasts two years, while _gid expires after 24 hours. _gat is used for rate limiting and expires after one minute.

Changes to This Policy

If we start using different cookies or change how we use existing ones, we'll update this policy and notify active users.

The last updated date at the top tells you when the current version took effect.

Questions

If you have questions about our cookie usage, email gamediz@playfusex.com. We'll explain what we're doing and why.
