The short version
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.
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.
What a cookie is
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.
Every cookie we set
The cookies we set
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_cartrecords that your cart is not empty, so the cart indicator in the header is correct.woocommerce_cart_hasha 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.
k4g_currencyremembers 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.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.
Optional analytics
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:
_gadistinguishes 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:
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.
Control and contact
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.
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.
