Cookies policy

At gw2item we use cookies and other storage technologies in the browser so that the site works correctly, remember some of your preferences and obtain statistical information about the use of our pages. Below we explain, in summary, what we do with these technologies and how you can manage them.

1. General information

When you visit gw2item, some of the information necessary for the site to function and to personalize your experience is saved in your browser using small files (cookies) or similar mechanisms (such as the browser's local storage).

These elements are not programs nor do they have the capacity to access your computer on their own; They simply store information that the site can read on subsequent visits.

2. Technologies we use

In our case, two main types of mechanisms can be used:

• Cookies: small text files associated with your browser.
• Local browser storage (localStorage or others): space that allows data to be saved more persistently than a traditional cookie.

Depending on their purpose, these technologies may be active only while you browse or remain between visits until you delete them or they expire.

3. What we use these technologies for

3.1 Basic operation of the site

Certain functionalities need to save minimal information to be able to operate normally. Among other uses, this type of storage can be used to:

• Keep your session active when you sign in with Google or Discord.
• Associate your identity with the information you have saved (lists, favorites, settings).
• Properly load the different sections and tools related to Guild Wars 2.

Without this type of storage, some parts of the service might stop working or behave unexpectedly.

3.2 Preferences and usage experience

We may also store certain information to improve your experience on the site, for example:

• Reminder of some filters or settings you've used recently.
• Visual or behavioral settings that you select yourself within the site.

In many cases, this data is saved through the browser's local storage so you can retrieve it on subsequent visits.

3.3 Usage statistics and analysis

To better understand how gw2item is used and which parts of the site are most useful, we may use web analytics services (for example, Google Analytics or others with similar characteristics).

These types of tools collect information in an aggregated and non-identifying form, such as:

• Most visited pages.
• Approximate time spent on site.
• Type of device or browser used.
• General interactions with the different sections.

This data helps us detect errors, improve performance, and make decisions about new features.

3.4 Advertising and financing of the service

gw2item may display third-party advertisements to help maintain the project. Advertising platforms may use cookies or other tracking systems to:

• Show ads related to your general interests.
• Avoid showing the same ad too many times.
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

The information processed by these platforms is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not directly transfer identifiable personal data to advertisers.

4. How you can control or limit the use of cookies

4.1 Browser settings

Most browsers allow:

• Completely block the installation of cookies.
• Delete existing cookies.
• Delete local storage data (including localStorage).
• Set up specific rules for certain sites.

If you decide to block or delete cookies and other data, please note that:

• We may not be able to keep you logged in.
• Certain features (such as saving lists or favorites) may not work as expected.
• Some pages may have errors or limitations.

4.2 Manual deletion of local data

In addition to cookies, you can delete locally stored data (localStorage or other mechanisms) from your browser's privacy options or developer tools. The specific steps depend on the browser you use.

5. Duration and conservation

The information stored through cookies or similar mechanisms may have different durations:

• Session: deleted when closing the browser.
• Persistent: It is kept for a certain time or until you manually delete it.

At any time you can reduce this period by deleting the saved information from your browser settings.

6. Changes to this policy

We may modify this policy to adapt it to technical, legal or operational changes to the site. When this happens, we will update the content on this page and, where relevant, indicate the new update date.

We recommend that you periodically review this information if you want to be aware of how we use cookies and other storage technologies at gw2item.
