Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 25 June 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how H&T GAMING ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website hntgaming.me. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to website owners, and improve the user experience. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or until they expire) or "session-based" (deleted when you close your browser).

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Cookie Purpose Duration
hnt_consent Stores your cookie consent preference 365 days (accepted) / 180 days (rejected)

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled. These cookies are only activated when you give explicit consent via our cookie banner.

_ga Distinguishes unique users (Google Analytics) 2 years
_ga_* Maintains session state (Google Analytics 4) 2 years

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

  • Cookie Banner: When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies or allow only essential ones.
  • Cookie Settings: You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in our website footer.
  • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

5. Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which adjusts how Google tags behave based on the consent status of your users. By default, analytics storage and ad storage are set to "denied" until you explicitly grant consent via the cookie banner. This ensures compliance with GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and other applicable data protection regulations.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site may be placed by third-party services. We use Google Analytics for website analytics. Google's privacy policy can be found at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. We respect DNT signals and will not load analytics cookies when a DNT header is detected, regardless of your consent preference.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post any changes on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically.
