Cookie Policy
This policy explains our approach to cookies at StarCitizenHelp.com — including why we do not set analytics or tracking cookies and do not show a cookie consent banner.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, StarCitizenHelp.com) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
How We Use Cookies
We keep it simple: StarCitizenHelp.com does not set analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. Because we do not set any cookies that require your consent, we do not show a cookie consent banner — there is nothing to consent to.
How We Measure Traffic Without Cookies
We still want to understand how the site is used, so we rely on two privacy-friendly, cookieless methods:
Vercel Analytics
Our hosting provider, Vercel, gives us aggregated page-view statistics without using cookies and without tracking individual visitors across sites.
Anonymous Click Logging
When you click a referral button, our server logs the page and the button label so we know which links are useful. No personal data is collected, and no cookies are involved.
Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you.
