Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded on the page ("third-party cookies").

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and server-side logs. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these collectively as "cookies" unless a distinction is necessary.

2. Why We Use Cookies

RNG Heroes Wiki uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to understand how visitors interact with our guides and tools, and to improve performance over time. Because we are a free fan resource, analytics help us prioritize which pages need updates—such as active code lists after a game patch or tier list adjustments following balance changes.

We aim to minimize the use of invasive tracking. We do not use cookies to deliver targeted advertising on this website, and we do not sell cookie-derived data to data brokers or advertisers.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They may support security features, load balancing, cookie consent storage, and remembering your language preference if you select a localized version of the wiki. Because the site cannot function properly without them, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under most privacy frameworks, though you may still block them through browser settings at the cost of reduced functionality.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use RNG Heroes Wiki—which pages are most popular, how long users stay, whether error pages occur, and which referral sources send traffic. This data is typically anonymized or pseudonymized. We may use services such as Google Analytics, Plausible Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics, or comparable privacy-oriented tools. Analytics help us decide when to refresh hero databases, verify that new guides are discoverable, and identify technical issues affecting mobile users.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization. On RNG Heroes Wiki, these may remember UI preferences, simulator settings in our roll tool, or dismissed notice banners. While not strictly required, disabling functional cookies may result in a less convenient experience when returning to the site.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages embed third-party content such as YouTube walkthrough videos, Discord widgets, or external fonts. These providers may set their own cookies when their content loads. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy and cookie policies of those services. External links to Roblox, Trello, or social platforms are also subject to their own cookie practices once you navigate away from our site.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be "session" cookies that expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies that remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Session cookies are commonly used for temporary state such as navigation context. Persistent cookies may remain from a few days up to twenty-four months depending on their purpose and the policies of any third-party analytics provider we use.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options to control or disable cookies. Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through settings menus. Browser extensions can block tracking scripts entirely. Mobile devices often provide advertising identifier controls at the operating system level. If we deploy a cookie consent banner in regions where it is legally required, you may adjust non-essential cookie categories through that interface.

Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent certain features from working correctly. Strictly necessary cookies are required for secure delivery of pages over HTTPS and for basic site stability. Blocking analytics cookies will not prevent you from reading guides or using tools, but it limits our ability to improve the site based on visitor behavior.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals your preference not to be tracked across websites. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. RNG Heroes Wiki does not respond to DNT signals in a standardized way at this time, but we limit tracking to what is described in this policy and honor opt-out mechanisms provided by analytics vendors where available.

7. Cookies and Personal Data

In some jurisdictions, cookie identifiers combined with other data may constitute personal data under privacy law. Where this applies, our processing is described in greater detail in our Privacy Policy. We process cookie data based on legitimate interests in operating and improving the website, and where required, on your consent for non-essential cookies.

You may exercise data subject rights related to cookie data—such as access, deletion, or objection—by contacting us through the channels listed on our website. We will respond within applicable legal timeframes.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy when we add new tools, change analytics providers, or update legal requirements. Changes take effect when posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage periodic review so you remain informed about how cookies are used on RNG Heroes Wiki.

9. Contact

If you have questions about our use of cookies or wish to submit a related privacy request, please reach out through the community contact options on our Trello & Discord page. For broader privacy matters, refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
