Cookies and local storage

BattleTown News keeps a few settings in your browser so the site opens the way you left it. None of them tracks you, and none of them is shared with advertisers or other companies.

What we keep on your device

In your browser's local storage: your theme (light or dark), the announcement at the top of the page that you closed, the list or grid view, and the stories you saved. A small cookie, news-theme, repeats your theme so the page opens in it straight away. It lasts one year.

What we do not use

The portal sets no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies and runs no third-party trackers. The share buttons are plain links: nothing goes to a social network until you click one.

Sign-in

When you sign in, battletown.com sets its own session cookie. It belongs to the main site and is covered by the main site's Privacy Policy. The portal only passes it to the BattleTown game service to check whether you are signed in, and does not store it.

How to clear them

You can delete these settings at any time in your browser's site data settings. The site keeps working without them and uses the default theme and view.
