Last Updated: October 2023

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit Hidden Astral Empire. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide basic analytics. In compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we aim to be fully transparent about our use of these files.

2. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of Hidden Astral Empire. They enable core functions such as remembering your local balance of Stellar Sparks so you can continue playing Supernova Spins or Meteor Cascade. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems without disabling the website's core functionality.

3. Analytical Cookies

With your consent, we use analytical cookies to understand how visitors interact with our platform. These cookies collect anonymous information about which pages are visited most often and if users experience errors. This helps us improve the overall cosmic experience of Hidden Astral Empire.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through the consent banner presented upon your first visit. Additionally, you can amend your browser settings to block or delete cookies entirely, though this will reset your Stellar Sparks balance.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not allow third-party advertising networks to place tracking cookies on Hidden Astral Empire. Any third-party cookies present are strictly limited to our trusted analytics and server performance providers. We ensure all third parties comply with ICO guidance regarding data minimisation.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the platform indicates your understanding of our updated terms.
