Cookie Policy
LAST UPDATED: MARCH 20261. What Are Cookies?
Cookies, which we refer to as "Field Navigation Markers," are small text files or pieces of data stored locally on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit the Sortio Haven archive. Alongside similar technologies like local browser storage, they help websites remember your actions and preferences over time.
2. Why We Use Cookies
Our expedition archive uses cookies to ensure the platform operates smoothly, securely, and intuitively. They allow us to:
- Provide essential navigation and access to the Adventurer Slot frame.
- Remember your choices regarding the Field Privacy Notice so you are not asked repeatedly.
- Ensure website security and platform stability.
- Enhance usability by understanding generalized interactions across different devices.
3. Essential Cookies
These markers are strictly necessary for the core operation of Sortio Haven. Without them, the website cannot function properly. Essential cookies handle basic layout rendering, secure loading of the social casino mechanics, and remembering your actual consent state. Because they are vital, they cannot be switched off within our system and do not require explicit consent.
4. Non-Essential Cookies
Non-essential markers are optional. They are used to improve your browsing experience by remembering specific interface choices, layout preferences, and providing us with aggregated, non-identifiable technical metrics about how explorers navigate the atlas. Rejecting these markers will not prevent you from accessing the site or participating in the expedition.
5. Cookie Preferences and Consent
When you first arrive at our field station, you are presented with a Field Privacy Notice offering complete control over how cookies are utilized. This system includes:
- Accept All: Activating both essential and non-essential markers for the most comprehensive experience.
- Reject Non-Essential: Declining all optional markers, running the site on essential systems only.
- Manage Preferences: Opening a detailed modal to manually toggle optional categories on or off before saving.
6. Specific Navigation Markers Used
Below is a detailed inventory of the primary cookies and local storage items utilized during your expedition:
| Marker Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| sortio_haven_cookie_consent | Essential (Local Storage) | 1 Year | Stores your specific choices regarding the Field Privacy Notice so you are not prompted repeatedly. |
| sh_session_id | Essential (Cookie) | Session | Maintains a secure, temporary connection between your device and the Adventurer Slot field station. |
| sh_ui_prefs | Non-Essential (Local Storage) | 30 Days | Remembers optional interface display choices, such as volume preferences or fullscreen history. |
| _ga / _gid | Non-Essential (Cookie) | Varies (1 Day - 2 Years) | Aggregates anonymous technical metrics about how explorers navigate the atlas to help us optimize routing. |
7. Local Browser Storage
In addition to traditional cookies, we utilize standard HTML5 Local Storage to securely save your consent decisions directly within your browser. This method ensures your preferences are respected seamlessly without transmitting unnecessary data back and forth to our servers.
8. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings
Beyond our on-site tools, you can control or delete cookies directly through your browser's settings. Below are generalized steps for popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. From here, you can block or allow cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security. Under "Enhanced Tracking Protection", you can select how cookies are handled.
- Apple Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy. Check "Block all cookies" or manage website data.
- Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Please consult your browser's specific "Help" menu for detailed and up-to-date instructions.
9. How to Reopen Cookie Settings
We believe your choices should always be accessible. If you wish to review or change your cookie preferences at any point during your expedition, you can do so by clicking the link located in the footer of every page.
10. What Happens When Cookies Are Disabled
If you choose to disable non-essential cookies, your expedition will continue unhindered, though some optional interface preferences may not be saved. If you clear your browser's local storage entirely, your previous consent decision will be erased, and you will be prompted with the Field Privacy Notice upon your next visit to re-establish your preferences.
11. Changes to the Cookie Policy
If our website functionality changes in a way that introduces new genuine categories of cookies or tracking mechanisms, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly. In such events, the "Last Updated" date will reflect the change, and depending on the scope, you may be asked to reconfirm your preferences upon return.
