Cookie Policy
Necessary storage and optional visitor statistics on GameFinder.pro.
1. Current use
We use necessary storage for sign-in, form protection, your cookie choice and settings you request. Our own visitor statistics are optional. They start only after Google’s message confirms consent for both of our publisher purposes: 1 (device storage/access) and 8 (content performance measurement). Rejection leaves statistics off and games remain playable. The homepage and local game pages load Google’s published consent message with all advertising requests paused. No ads are served. One Google message gathers the choices, including our own statistical purposes. A general permission for advertising or vendors alone does not enable the counter; both publisher-purpose consents must be present. There is no second statistics dialog. We load no external analytics or social-media tracking.
2. Cookies
| Name | Purpose | Category | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
GAMEFINDERSESSID | Sign-in, account functions and protected forms. | Necessary for the requested function | Browser session |
gamefinder_language | Remembers the website language. | Functional preference | Up to one year |
GFCONSENT | Remembers the Google CMP result for our own publisher purposes 1 and 8, with format version and the CMP decision time. No TC string or visitor identifier is stored in this cookie. | Necessary to remember your choice | At most 180 days from the CMP decision; page visits do not renew it |
GFDAILYVISITOR | Counts a browser once per day when statistics are allowed. The database receives only a one-way hash; signed-in visits are grouped by account and day. | Optional visitor statistics | Until the next midnight in Europe/Berlin |
Google consent storage
Google’s CMP manages the choice record and IAB TCF signals. Depending on the message and browser, it may use cookies or browser storage. Exact identifiers and expiry are controlled by Google, not by GFCONSENT. The Google dialog and its vendor list describe the selected providers and purposes. Advertising requests remain paused even after consent. Use Privacy settings in the footer to reopen the message; on a disclosure or account page, the link goes to the homepage. This page itself loads no Google tag. See Google’s cookie information and our Privacy Policy.
3. Local browser storage
The website remembers language under gamefinder.language.v1. Games may store their settings and, where supported, device-only progress under their own keys. This does not upload an account save by itself. Storage normally remains until replaced or cleared in your browser. A short local-storage notification keeps cookie choices synchronized between open tabs; it contains no visitor identifier.
4. Your choice and withdrawal
Optional statistics are off before a valid choice, after rejection and after expiry. The counter requires explicit permission for both publisher purposes 1 and 8; missing, pending, erroneous or incomplete CMP signals do not grant permission. A general advertising consent does not substitute for these publisher-purpose choices. The legal basis for this optional storage and processing is consent under Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Necessary storage for a function you request is treated separately under Section 25(2) TDDDG. Reopen Privacy settings at any time to change your choice. Rejection stops future counting and removes the HttpOnly visitor cookie through our server. Previously lawful processing is unaffected.
5. Open privacy settings
Google’s message offers consent, non-consent and the option to manage individual choices. The footer opens this same message; there is no separate statistics dialog. Games, contact and account functions do not require optional statistics. If the required permission setting cannot be saved, optional statistics remain off. Old standalone v1 choices do not authorize the new counter.
6. Browser controls
Your browser can delete or block cookies and local storage. Blocking session cookies can prevent registration, sign-in and protected forms. Clearing game storage can remove device-only progress; account saves remain in the account until deleted. Our own visitor hashes are removed after 14 days; aggregate daily counts contain no visitor identifier and can be retained longer.
