Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They help websites remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve ads. This policy explains which cookies Well Dweller Wiki may use and how to control them.

2. Necessary Cookies

When a consent banner is shown, Well Dweller Wiki stores one consent cookie (cookie_consent) to remember your choice about analytics and advertising. This is a functional cookie - without it, the consent banner may reappear on every visit.

3. Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics measures how visitors use the site (pages visited, approximate region, referrer). Outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it runs by default and may set cookies; in those regions analytics cookies are only set after you accept the banner. We also count visits with self-hosted Plausible through a same-origin proxy. It uses no cookies or device storage, but pageview requests may include an IP address, browser user agent, page path, and sanitized referrer. Choosing “Necessary only” turns analytics cookies off; Plausible pageviews continue unless the site is configured to require consent.

4. Advertising Cookies

If you accept, Google AdSense and other advertising partners may set cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalized advertising. You can opt out of personalized ads via Google Ads Settings.

5. Managing Your Consent

Where the site shows a consent banner, it asks you to choose “Accept all” or “Necessary only”; the same choice can be reopened from the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings to reset the choice. Declining analytics and advertising cookies will not affect your ability to read the guides.
