Cookies Policy

Last Updated: February 20, 2026

Website Cookies Policy

At Gametarian, we believe in technical transparency. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and applications to ensure a high-performance, resilient user experience.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help our digital infrastructure "remember" your preferences and session state. They act as the persistent memory layer of our web architecture, allowing for a seamless transition between pages and visits.

2. How We Use Cookies

We do not use cookies for "surveillance." We use them for Functional Logic and Performance Optimization. We categorize our cookies into four structural tiers:

Tier 1: Strictly Necessary (The "Core Engine")

These are essential for the operation of our services. Without them, the mechanical foundation of the site would fail.

• Purpose: User authentication, security (CSRF protection), and load balancing.
   
• Consent: Not required under DPDPA/GDPR as they are vital for service delivery.

Tier 2: Preference Cookies (The "Customization Layer")

These allow our systems to remember choices you’ve made (like your preferred language or regional settings).

• Purpose: Personalized UI and session persistence.
   
• Consent: Required (Opt-in).

Tier 3: Analytics & Performance (The "Optimization Layer")

We use these to measure how visitors interact with our logic. This data is anonymized and used to remove "mechanical friction" from our user journeys.

• Purpose: Tracking page speed, click paths, and system errors.
   
• Consent: Required (Opt-in).

Tier 4: Marketing & Targeting (The "Reach Layer")

In alignment with 2026 "cookieless" trends, we minimize third-party tracking. If used, these help us serve relevant content to you on other platforms.

• Purpose: Retargeting and ad-attribution logic.
   
• Consent: Required (Opt-in).

3. Cookie Duration

• Session Cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your "session" (browser).
   
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a defined period (e.g., 12 months) to recognize you upon return.

4. Global Consent Management

In compliance with DPDPA (India) and GDPR (EU), we operate on a Prior Consent model:

• No Non-Essential Cookies will load on your device until you interact with our Consent Manager and select "Accept."
   
• Granular Control: You have the right to accept "Analytics" but reject "Marketing" through our preference center.
   
• The "Reject All" Right: You may reject all non-essential cookies and still access the primary functions of our website.

5. How to Manage Your Logic

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Additionally, you can clear cookies through your browser settings:

• Chrome/Edge: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies.
   
• Safari: Settings > Safari > Privacy.

6. Third-Party Agents

Some cookies are placed by our "Processors" (e.g., Google Analytics 4, AWS Cloudfront). We ensure these third parties adhere to the same Zero-Trust security standards that we maintain internally.
