This Cookie Policy explains how BlazeArcade Pty Ltd (ABN 47 123 456 789) ("BlazeArcade", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit blazearcade.pro (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can also be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a different domain).

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie consent choice. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly affecting the Website's functionality.

4. Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with blazearcade.pro. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally. This helps us improve our content, navigation, and overall user experience. Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as genre filters on the Reviews page) and provide enhanced, personalised features. These cookies are set only when you accept cookies via our consent banner.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on blazearcade.pro may include embedded content or links from third parties (such as YouTube video embeds or social media share buttons). These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties directly.

7. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

7.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit blazearcade.pro, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the page. You can choose to "Accept All" cookies or "Decline" non-essential cookies. Your preference is saved for one year.

7.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View the cookies stored on your device
  • Delete all or specific cookies
  • Block cookies from all or specific websites
  • Set preferences for different types of cookies

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of blazearcade.pro and other websites you visit. For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit:

7.3 Opt-Out Tools

You can also use industry opt-out tools to manage advertising and analytics cookies:

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. At this time, blazearcade.pro does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to them. We encourage you to use the cookie management options described above to control your privacy preferences.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
