Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 September 2026
This website sets no cookies. Not one — no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no third-party tracking. That is also why you are not being asked to accept anything: under the ePrivacy rules, consent is required for storage that is not strictly necessary, and we use none.
1. What a cookie is, and what we use instead
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device, typically sent back to the server with every request. Sowur Shield does not use cookies at all.
The site does use browser local storage, a related technology. The important difference is that local storage is never transmitted to a server: it stays in your browser, on your device. We use it for exactly two things, both of which exist purely to make the game work the way you asked it to.
2. Everything this site stores on your device
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sowurshield_lang |
localStorage | Remembers whether you chose English, Portuguese or Spanish for this page, so your choice survives a reload. | Until you clear your browser data | No — strictly necessary to deliver a preference you actively selected |
| Unity save data | IndexedDB | Stores your in-game saved games (farm, inventory, progress) so you can continue playing later. | Until you clear your browser data | No — strictly necessary to provide the game service you requested |
Neither entry contains personal data, neither is used to profile you, and neither is readable by us or by any third party. We receive no copy of either.
3. What we deliberately do not use
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, Hotjar, Clarity or equivalent. We do not count visitors.
- No advertising or retargeting. No ad network, no pixel, no Meta/Facebook pixel, no conversion tracking.
- No social media embeds. No YouTube, Twitter/X, Discord widget or embedded iframe of any kind.
- No Unity telemetry. Unity Analytics, Unity Ads, crash reporting and performance reporting are all disabled in the build shipped here.
4. Third-party requests
Two external requests happen when the page loads, neither of which sets a cookie on this site:
- Google Fonts serves the page typefaces, and receives your IP address as part of that request.
- GitHub Pages hosts the site and the game files, and logs your IP address as any web host does.
Both are covered in more detail in our Privacy Policy.
5. Do I need to consent?
No. EU/UK ePrivacy rules and Brazil’s LGPD require consent before storing information on your device unless that storage is strictly necessary for a service you explicitly requested. Remembering the language you just clicked, and saving the game you are playing, both fall squarely within that exemption. Since we run no analytics or advertising storage, there is nothing left to ask you about — and we would rather not show you a pointless banner.
If we ever add analytics or any non-essential storage, we will add a proper consent banner that asks first and works without pre-ticked boxes, and we will update this page before that goes live.
6. How to remove what is stored
You are always in control of both entries above. To remove them:
- open your browser settings and clear site data / browsing data for this site;
- or play in a private/incognito window, which discards everything when you close it.
Be aware that clearing this data also deletes your saved games permanently, since we hold no backup of them.
