COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: September 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Malborn LLC, doing business as Arcanum Worlds (“Arcanum Worlds,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit ArcanumWorlds.com (the “Website”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, maintain shopping-cart information, support security features, understand how visitors use the Website, and provide other functionality.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and other technologies that store or access information on your device. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these similar technologies where applicable.

2. Types of Cookies and Technologies We Use

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They include technologies used for shopping-cart and checkout functionality, account login, payment processing, security, fraud prevention, and remembering your cookie preferences.

Our necessary technologies may include services provided by WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal/WooPayments, and Complianz.

Because these technologies are necessary to provide services you request or operate essential Website functions, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie-preference tool.

Functional Cookies

Functional technologies provide additional Website features and remember certain choices or actions, such as whether you have dismissed an announcement, closed a popup, or interacted with particular Website features.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the Website, measure traffic and Website performance, and improve our content and services.

These services may include:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Tag Manager
  • Jetpack / WordPress.com Stats
  • MonsterInsights

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies and similar storage technologies are used in accordance with your consent choices.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We may use marketing technologies to measure advertising performance, understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, manage email or promotional campaigns, and provide advertising that may be more relevant to visitors.

These services may include:

  • Google Ads
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel
  • MailerLite
  • Brevo

Google services may use Google Consent Mode. Depending on how Consent Mode is configured, Google may receive limited, cookieless signals when advertising or analytics consent has not been granted. These signals are used for purposes such as measurement and modeling and do not involve storing advertising cookies on your device while the applicable storage consent is denied.

Depending on applicable law, information collected through these technologies may constitute personal information, targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, a sale or sharing of personal information, or another legally defined activity.

Where required by law, we request consent or provide an appropriate means of opting out.

Embedded Content and External Services

Our Website may use or display content and services provided by third parties, including:

  • YouTube
  • Google reCAPTCHA
  • Google Fonts

When external content or services are loaded, the provider may receive information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, and information about the page you are visiting.

Where available, we may use privacy-enhancing configurations, such as YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embedding mode, and consent-management controls to reduce unnecessary tracking.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed directly by us. These are known as first-party cookies.

Other cookies may be placed by companies that provide services to us or whose content appears on the Website. These are known as third-party cookies.

Third-party providers may use information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may be either:

  • Session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser; or
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that provides them.

Third-party services, such as Google, Meta, YouTube, MailerLite, Brevo, and Google reCAPTCHA, may also set cookies on their own domains when their content or services are loaded. Those cookies are governed by the respective provider’s privacy and cookie policies.

The list may identify:

  • The cookie or technology
  • The provider
  • Its purpose
  • Its expiration or duration
  • Its category

Because the Website and the third-party services we use may change from time to time, this list may be updated automatically or periodically to reflect technologies currently in use.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you visit the Website, you may be given the opportunity to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

You can change your choices at any time through the Cookie Preferences link available on the Website.

Our Website generally remembers your cookie preference for 365 days, after which you may be asked to make your selection again. You may also be asked to provide a new choice if our use of cookies or similar technologies changes materially.

You can also remove previously stored cookies using your browser settings.

7. Browser Controls

Most internet browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • View existing cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Receive notifications before cookies are stored
  • Delete cookies when your browser closes

Blocking cookies may affect the functionality of the Website, including shopping-cart, checkout, account, or preference features.

Please consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.

8. Browser-Based Privacy Signals

Certain browsers and browser extensions allow users to send privacy preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC).

Where applicable law requires us to recognize such a signal, we will process supported signals in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Availability and technical support for browser-based privacy signals may vary depending on our Website configuration and the services we use.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is not a universally accepted technical standard governing how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals, our Website may not respond to those signals except where required by applicable law.

This does not affect any rights you may have to manage cookies, use Global Privacy Control, or exercise privacy rights available under applicable law.

10. International Visitors

Privacy, cookie, and tracking requirements differ between jurisdictions.

Where applicable law requires consent before we use non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we use cookie-preference controls designed to allow visitors to make the required choices.

Where applicable law instead provides a right to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information, we provide applicable mechanisms for exercising those rights.

Some Website functions involve third-party content or services. We use consent controls and other technical measures where appropriate, but the technologies used by third-party providers may change over time.

11. Personal Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technology used, cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Approximate location derived from an IP address
  • Pages viewed
  • Referring website
  • Links clicked
  • Session information
  • Shopping activity
  • Advertising or analytics identifiers

For more information about how we use personal information and your privacy rights, please review our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our Website, technologies, service providers, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy.

If required by law, we may provide additional notice or request renewed consent when significant changes are made.
