Clarity First: How We Use Cookies

At Gamelyx, we build performance tools for game developers. A core part of that performance is understanding technical constraints without ambiguity. This policy outlines our use of cookies—what they do, why we need them, and how you control them. We treat them like system logs: essential for diagnostics, but with clear boundaries on data retention and purpose.

The Technical Role of Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. On gamelyx.pro, they are not for advertising or data selling. Their primary function is to maintain your session state, remember your consent preferences, and help us diagnose load-time issues. Think of them as session tokens in a secure API call: they enable continuity without storing personal data on your local machine.

We classify our cookies into three distinct categories based on necessity and lifespan. This granular approach is designed to give you surgical control, much like a developer chooses specific assets to load at runtime. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or build advertising profiles.

Cookie Categories & Purpose

Hover or tap on cards for implementation details.

Strictly Necessary

Authentication & Security

Essential for user login, form submissions, and protecting against CSRF attacks. These are session cookies that expire when you close your browser.

Technical
Functional

Preference Memory

Stores your language and theme selection (light/dark mode). These persist for 30 days to maintain your chosen interface environment.

UX
Performance

Load Diagnostics

Anonymous, aggregated data on page load times and feature usage. Helps us optimize the asset pipeline. These are first-party cookies with a 7-day lifespan.

Analytics

Investor & Developer Questions: A Reality Check

Q1

Does Gamelyx use cookies for cross-site tracking?

No. We are strictly a first-party platform. No third-party analytics pixels are loaded. All data is anonymized and aggregated on our own infrastructure.

Q2

Can I opt out of all cookies?

Not without breaking the site. Necessary cookies are required for security and authentication. You can opt out of functional and performance cookies via the banner or your browser settings.

Q3

How long is data retained?

7 days for diagnostics. Performance cookies are purged weekly. Session cookies vanish on browser close. We don’t build long-term profiles.

Q4

What happens on mobile browsers?

Same policy applies. Mobile sessions are treated identically. We do not utilize device-level identifiers or persistent advertising IDs.

Q5

Are there penalties for misconfiguration?

We bake it into design. Missing consent flags default to a degraded but functional state. The site never breaks; non-essential features simply pause.

Q6

Can you guarantee no data leaks?

No, and we don’t try. No system is perfectly secure. We use HttpOnly, Secure flags, and strict SameSite policies. Our transparency is about process, not guarantees.

Decision Lens

Primary Criterion

Functional Integrity: Can a user still access core features if they reject non-essential cookies?

What It Optimizes

User autonomy and regulatory compliance (GDPR). We prioritize feature access over data richness for diagnostics.

What We Sacrifice

  • Detailed user journey analytics (e.g., click paths) in favor of aggregate load metrics.
  • The ability to identify returning users without authentication (no persistent identifiers).
  • Ultra-granular A/B testing on individual users (we test on session cohorts).
