Cookie policy

In short

grnd.ro does not set analytics, advertising or tracking cookies for visitors. The public site runs without a cookie consent banner, because we do not use non-essential cookies on the part that readers can see.

What we use instead of cookies

localStorage / sessionStorage (XP)

The XP widget stores progress locally in your browser (grnd.xp.v1, grnd.run.v1 and auxiliary session keys). These are not cookies: they are not sent automatically with every HTTP request. You can delete them from the XP panel or from your browser settings. Details: Privacy Policy.

Technical browser preferences

Your browser may keep cache, TLS session data and so on, independently of the site. We do not control these mechanisms.

Cookies only for the editorial team

When logging in to admin.grnd.ro, Payload CMS sets session cookies for editorial users. They are not issued to grnd.ro visitors.

Third parties after an explicit click

YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com): the iframe appears only after you click on the video facade. From that moment on, Google may set cookies in accordance with their policy.
Facebook (page plugin): likewise, only after clicking the load button.

Until you click, these domains are not loaded by our article/home pages for these widgets.

Partners in the partners bar

The links in the "Partners" bar (GOG, Lab501, Games FUNatic, JocuriNoi.ro, Jocuri247, Lexshop, CD Media) are plain URLs to their sites, with no visible affiliate parameters in the addresses used on grnd.ro. If a partner sets cookies on its own domain after you visit it, that site's policy applies.

How you can control cookies

From your browser settings you can block or delete cookies per domain. For XP, use "Delete progress…" in the XP panel.
