Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Stellarch also uses similar technologies, including:

• Local storage: data saved in your browser (for example, interface preferences).
• Session storage: temporary data cleared when you close the browser.

These technologies help the Service work, keep you signed in, and remember your settings.

Essential cookies (required):
These are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They handle:

• Signing you in and keeping your session active.
• Security (cross-site request forgery protection).
• Remembering your locale and interface preferences.

Under Section 25 (2) of the German Telecommunications-Digital-Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), technically necessary cookies do not require consent.

Analytics and third-party cookies (optional):
We currently do not load non-essential analytics or advertising cookies by default. If we add optional analytics in the future, they will only be set after you give consent, and you will be able to withdraw that consent at any time.

The storage of, and access to, information on your device is governed by Section 25 of the German Telecommunications-Digital-Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG):

• Technically necessary cookies: Section 25 (2) TDDDG, no consent required; legal basis for any associated processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
• Optional cookies: Section 25 (1) TDDDG, consent required; legal basis Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

You can control cookies in several ways:

1. Browser settings: most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies and set rules per site.
2. Consent withdrawal: where we offer optional cookies, you will be able to change or withdraw your consent at any time.

Note: disabling essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using core features of the Service.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings:

Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

Disabling essential cookies may break sign-in and gameplay.

Some features rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies or process data when you use them, including Stripe (when you make a card payment) and Google (when you choose Google sign-in). These providers operate under their own privacy policies. We do not use social-media tracking pixels, advertising cookies, or marketing cookies by default.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top will change. For significant changes, we may ask for renewed consent where required.

This Cookie Policy is a working draft for the Stellarch alpha and a companion to the future cookie-consent banner. For binding questions, qualified German/EU legal advice should be obtained.
