Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. We also use related technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and browser fingerprinting.
2. How We Use Cookies
UEFNMarketplace uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Session cookies: Maintain your login session
- Security cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Theme storage: localStorage key
uefn-theme— stores your dark/light preference - Cookie consent: localStorage key
uefn-cookie-consent— records your cookie preferences
Functional
These enable enhanced functionality and personalization:
- Preference storage: Remembers your settings between visits
- Cart persistence: Maintains your shopping cart across sessions
Security & Fraud Prevention
These are used to protect the platform and its users from abuse and fraud:
- Browser fingerprinting: We collect non-personally-identifiable browser characteristics (canvas rendering, WebGL renderer, audio context, hardware concurrency, installed fonts, screen resolution) to create a hashed fingerprint. This is used exclusively for fraud detection, rate limiting, and ban evasion prevention — never for advertising.
- IP logging: Your IP address is recorded in security logs for rate limiting, abuse detection, and compliance purposes. IP data is retained for up to 12 months.
- Rate limit tokens: Short-lived identifiers used to enforce fair-use limits on platform actions
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website (with your consent):
- Page views: Track which pages are most popular
- Traffic sources: Understand where visitors come from
- User behavior: Analyze how users navigate the site
3. Third-Party Technologies
Some technologies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages:
- Stripe: Payment processing — may set cookies for fraud prevention and payment flow
- Authentication providers: Social login services may set cookies upon sign-in
- Google Fonts: Font delivery via CDN (no tracking cookies; loaded with
font-display: swap)
4. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Cookie Consent Settings
You can update your cookie preferences at any time:
