Cookie Policy

Last updated: v2

This Cookie Policy explains how Habbo Archive - dChat uses cookies and similar technologies. The primary contact for cookie-related questions is me@dek.cx unless the Operator publishes a different contact.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, scripts, SDKs, or embedded third-party content that stores or accesses information on your device.

2. Cookies used by the software by default

A standard dChat deployment may use the following essential cookies:

• sessionid: keeps you signed in and maintains your session;
• csrftoken: helps protect forms and requests against CSRF attacks; and
• cookie_consent: remembers your cookie banner choice.

These cookies are generally necessary for security, authentication, and core site operation.

3. Optional cookies and similar technologies

Depending on how the Operator configures the Service, the Service may also use or load:

• analytics or performance tools;
• email, notification, or support integrations;
• third-party embeds or widgets, including services such as YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or X/Twitter; and
• other third-party services chosen by the Operator.

Those technologies may place their own cookies or collect data directly from your browser or device.

4. Legal basis and consent

Essential cookies may be used where they are necessary to provide the Service, maintain security, or remember basic preferences.

Where law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, the Operator should obtain that consent before loading them. This is particularly relevant for analytics, advertising technologies, and many third-party embeds or widgets.

This default software policy does not guarantee that every deployment is configured the same way. Operators should review their actual integrations and update this policy and consent flow if they enable additional technologies.

5. Why cookies and similar technologies are used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

• authenticate users and maintain sessions;
• protect forms and prevent abuse;
• remember cookie choices or basic preferences;
• improve performance and reliability;
• understand feature usage where analytics are enabled; and
• display embedded media or third-party content.

6. How to manage cookies

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting existing cookies. Blocking essential cookies may cause login, security, messaging, or other core parts of the Service to stop working correctly.

If the Operator enables non-essential cookies, additional consent choices may be provided on the Service as required by law.

7. Third-party services

When you view or interact with embedded third-party content, those providers may set cookies or collect information in line with their own policies. The Operator does not control those providers.

You should review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service you interact with through the Service.

8. Changes to this policy

The Operator may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The current version will be published on the Service with an updated version number or date.

9. Contact

Questions about this Cookie Policy should be sent to me@dek.cx or to any updated contact published by the Operator.
