Cookie Policy
Here's the deal with cookies on The Forge Calculator - we keep it simple and focused on your gaming experience.
Our Cookie Approach
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are tiny text files that live in your browser. They remember stuff like your preferences and help us understand how players use the calculator. Think of them as helpful notes that make your next visit smoother.
How We Use Cookies
We're pretty minimal with cookies. They're only used to keep the site running smoothly and see which calculator features you guys like most. Your ore combinations, weapon builds, and crafting strategies? Those never touch our cookies - everything happens right in your browser.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
The basics that keep the site working. These handle navigation and make sure the calculator loads properly. No tracking, just functionality.
Analytics Cookies
Anonymous data that helps us improve. We see things like which calculators are most popular or how many players visit. Nothing that identifies you personally.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes ad networks might place cookies. These are totally separate from us and follow their own rules. We don't control those.
Your Crafting Data Stays Private
Big important point: cookies have nothing to do with your actual Forge calculations. When you're testing ore combinations or planning your next weapon upgrade, all that data stays in your browser. Cookies don't track your builds, save your combos, or access any of your crafting info.
You're in Charge
Your browser has all the controls you need to manage cookies. You can block them, delete them, or fine-tune what gets accepted. Even if you turn off all cookies, the calculator will still work perfectly - your ore calculations and weapon optimization run locally anyway.
Other Services
If we use any third-party services (like analytics), they have their own cookie policies. We link to those so you can see exactly what they're doing. We're not trying to hide anything - transparency is key.
