Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 26, 2026. This is a template starting point — have it reviewed by a lawyer before relying on it.
This policy lists every cookie Gate97 sets, split into the ones that are strictly necessary to run the Service (always on, no consent required) and the ones that aren't (off by default, only set once you accept them). See our Privacy Policy for how we handle the data behind them.
1. Strictly necessary
These keep the Service working and can't be switched off — there is no non-cookie way to stay logged in.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bridge.sid | Gate97 (first-party) | Keeps you logged in between requests. HTTP-only — never readable by page scripts. | 7 days, or until you log out |
2. Analytics (only with your consent)
Not set until you click Accept on the cookie banner (or below). Rejecting, or never deciding, means these are never loaded at all — not loaded-then-ignored, actually absent.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics (third-party) | Distinguishes visitors so we can see aggregate usage — which pages get traffic, roughly how many people sign up. We don't use it for advertising or to build individual profiles. | Up to 2 years |
3. Your choice
Your current choice: Not yet decided. You can change it any time — this re-opens the banner from the bottom of the screen.
4. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change. We will post the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date.
