Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Dino Hunters Wiki at https://dinohunters.wiki ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our fan-made guide site for Roblox Dinosaur Hunter by HALFBYTE. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the site, you consent to our use of cookies as described here, except where your consent is required and withheld.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that store or read data on your device. Throughout this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to cookies and comparable technologies unless otherwise noted.

2. Why We Use Cookies

dinohunters.wiki uses cookies for several purposes: to enable core website functionality such as navigation and security; to remember display preferences where applicable; to understand how visitors interact with guides, tier lists, tools, and code pages; to measure traffic patterns and improve content; and, if we integrate third-party services in the future, to support analytics, content delivery, or advertising in compliance with applicable consent requirements.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The site cannot operate properly without these cookies. They do not store personally identifiable information in most cases and typically cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.

Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you make, such as language preferences if multilingual support is expanded, or settings related to interactive tools. They enhance usability but are not strictly required for basic access.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use dinohunters.wiki — which guides are most read, how users navigate from codes pages to tier lists, and whether tools like the dinosaur comparison calculator are engaged. Data is typically aggregated and used to improve content quality and site performance.

Marketing or advertising cookies may be used if we display third-party advertisements. These cookies track browsing habits to show relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. We will update this policy before deploying advertising cookies and obtain consent where legally required.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by dinohunters.wiki when you visit our domain. Third-party cookies are set by external services embedded on our pages — for example, YouTube when you watch embedded gameplay tutorials on guide pages, or analytics providers if integrated. Third-party cookies are governed by those providers' policies. We select partners that respect user privacy where possible and disclose major integrations in updates to this document.

5. Local Storage and Client-Side Tools

Our dinosaur comparison tool and credit calculator process inputs in your browser using JavaScript. These tools may use local storage or session memory to maintain UI state during your visit. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers for storage. Clearing browser data removes locally stored tool state. This is distinct from HTTP cookies but serves a similar client-side persistence function.

6. Cookie Duration

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Analytics cookies may persist from a few days to several months depending on the service configuration. We periodically review cookie durations and minimize retention consistent with operational needs.

7. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you before a cookie is stored. Instructions vary by browser — consult your browser's help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or mobile equivalents. Blocking all cookies may prevent some dinohunters.wiki features from working correctly. Blocking third-party cookies may affect embedded YouTube videos on guide pages while leaving text content accessible.

8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is no universal industry standard for responding to DNT. We currently do not alter our practices solely based on DNT signals but respect applicable legal opt-out mechanisms including Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required by state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by CPRA.

9. European Economic Area and UK Visitors

If you are in the EEA or UK, non-essential cookies require your consent under ePrivacy and GDPR frameworks. Where we deploy a cookie consent banner, you may accept or reject non-essential categories. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting cookie settings or clearing cookies. Essential cookies necessary for site operation do not require consent. For more information about your data rights, see our Privacy Policy.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new tools, analytics services, or advertising partners. The "Last updated" date indicates the latest revision. Material changes may be highlighted on the homepage or via a consent banner where appropriate. We encourage periodic review of this page.
