Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 31, 2026

This Cookie Policy lists the cookies this website sets, what each one does, and how to control them. The store uses necessary cookies and, only after your permission, optional Google Analytics.

1. The summary

KEY4GAMES sets strictly necessary cookies to keep your cart and checkout session, remember your selected order currency, and keep you signed in if you have an account.

Google Analytics 4 is optional and is not loaded until you select “Allow analytics” in the consent panel. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect browsing, purchasing, checkout, support or key delivery. We do not use advertising or remarketing pixels and Google advertising signals are disabled.

You can change your decision at any time through “Cookie settings”. Withdrawing consent stops Analytics on the next page load and removes the Analytics cookies accessible to this website.

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store and send back on your next request. It is what lets a website recognise that two page loads came from the same person. Without cookies a shop cannot keep a cart: every page would forget what the last one did.

3. The cookies we set

Cart and checkout

Set by WooCommerce, the shop software behind this store. They appear when you add something to your cart and are what makes checkout possible.

  • wp_woocommerce_session_… — a session identifier linking your browser to the cart stored on our server. It holds the reference, not the contents.
  • woocommerce_items_in_cart — records that your cart is not empty, so the cart indicator in the header is correct.
  • woocommerce_cart_hash — a fingerprint of the cart’s contents, so a cached page never shows you a stale cart.

These expire when your session ends or shortly after. They contain no name, no email address and no payment data.

Currency preference

  • k4g_currency — remembers your selected supported European currency. It contains only that three-letter code and lasts one year. The selected currency is also the currency used for your cart, checkout and order.

Signing in

Set by WordPress, and only if you have an account and log in. Ordering does not require an account, so most customers never receive these.

  • wordpress_logged_in_… — identifies you as a signed-in user across page loads.
  • wordpress_sec_… — the equivalent for pages served over a secure connection.
  • wp-settings-… — remembers interface preferences inside the account and admin screens.

These are authentication cookies. Blocking them means you cannot stay signed in.

4. Optional analytics

After you opt in, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand which pages are useful and whether the storefront works across devices. It may process page URLs, referral source, browser/device information, approximate region and interaction events. We do not send product keys, payment details, checkout form contents or a KEY4GAMES account identifier to Analytics.

Google Analytics may set:

  • _ga — distinguishes browsers for aggregated visitor statistics;
  • _ga_… — preserves the state of the connected GA4 property.

These cookies can remain for up to two years unless you withdraw consent or delete them sooner. The connected service is Google Analytics 4. Advertising personalisation, Google Signals and ad-storage consent remain disabled.

The website contains no:

  • advertising or remarketing pixel from any network;
  • social media button, embed or tracker;
  • heatmap, session-recording or A/B testing tool;

Our server does keep ordinary access logs — the request, the time, the IP address — but those are written by the server itself, not by a cookie, and they are covered in our Privacy Policy rather than here.

5. How to control cookies

Your browser is where cookies are controlled, and you can block or delete them at any time. The setting lives under Privacy in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari; the browser’s own help pages give the current steps for your version. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which discards cookies when you close it.

Blocking necessary cookies can empty the cart, interrupt checkout, reset the selected currency or sign you out. Rejecting the separate analytics category has no effect on store functions.

6. Changes to this policy

Any new cookie that is not strictly necessary will be documented and asked about rather than assumed. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the current version took effect.
