Why We Use Cookies

As a LoadScreen offering dynamic content and personalized experiences, we use cookies to:

  1. Enable Core Functionality
    Essential cookies are required for basic website operations, such as account login, navigation, and secure transactions. For example, if you're logged into your profile to comment on a game review or bookmark a favorite article, essential cookies make that possible. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  2. Analyze Website Performance
    Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the site. They track which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate between sections. This data is critical in improving site structure, page speed, and overall user experience, especially as our audience engages with diverse gaming content — from PC and console titles to mobile and indie games.
  3. Remember User Preferences
    Functionality cookies allow the platform to remember your settings and preferences, such as your chosen language, region, dark or light mode, and preferred game genres. These cookies enhance your experience by allowing the site to function in a way that suits your needs, whether you’re browsing reviews, watching trailers, or exploring upcoming releases.
  4. Support Marketing and Advertising
    Advertising and targeting cookies help display ads that are more relevant to your interests. For example, if you frequently view content related to multiplayer shooters or RPGs, cookies may be used to show you ads for related games or accessories. These cookies also measure the success of marketing campaigns and ensure that you don’t see the same advertisement multiple times.
