Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. rubinite.wiki may also use localStorage and sessionStorage for tools like the demo checklist. This policy describes how we and third parties use these technologies on our unofficial Rubinite wiki.

Essential technologies enable basic navigation and security. Optional technologies help us understand aggregate traffic or embed videos from YouTube showing Focus guides and boss strategies.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly necessary cookies support core functions such as load balancing, locale preferences, or consent memory if a banner is implemented. Without them some features may not work.

Analytics cookies, if enabled, collect anonymized or aggregated visit statistics — pages viewed, session duration, approximate geography — to prioritize guide updates for Rubinite's July 22, 2026 launch window. We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites for advertising on this fan wiki.

Third-Party Cookies and Embeds

Embedded YouTube players for guides like how-to-use-focus may set cookies or use local storage under Google's policies when you play videos. Steam store links are plain hyperlinks unless we embed widgets. Review third-party policies when interacting with embeds.

CDN and hosting providers may set technical cookies for performance and DDoS protection. These are industry-standard for static sites serving global Rubinite players.

Managing Your Preferences

Browser settings let you block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect locale routing or tool persistence. localStorage for the demo checklist can be cleared independently under site data settings.

If we deploy a consent banner where law requires it, you can accept or reject non-essential categories there. Withdrawing consent does not affect lawfulness of prior processing.

Updates to This Policy

We update this Cookie Policy when our technology stack changes — for example adding analytics or new embed types post-launch. Check the effective date at page top when provided.

Continued browsing after updates constitutes acceptance of revised cookie practices unless your jurisdiction requires explicit re-consent.

Cookie Duration

Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies and localStorage entries may remain until manual deletion or tool reset. Analytics cookies typically expire per vendor defaults — often 14 to 24 months unless you clear them sooner.

Demo checklist progress persists until you reset it or clear site data — convenient for multi-day demo attempts, but remember on shared computers.

Locale cookies may remember language preference across visits if the site implements locale persistence — separate from checklist localStorage keys used by demo progress tools.

For EU/UK visitors, non-essential cookies require consent where law mandates — our banner, when shown, is the authoritative control surface for those categories.

Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention may limit third-party embed cookies automatically — YouTube videos may still play but might not remember quality preferences cross-session.

Firefox ETP strict mode behaves similarly — if embedded guides fail to load, open YouTube links directly from relatedLinks sections on each page.

Cookie policy updates publish alongside privacy policy revisions — review both when we announce new analytics or embed providers post-launch.

Essential hosting cookies differ from marketing trackers — we document both classes so Rubinite players can make informed browser choices without disabling hub tools accidentally.
