Cookie Policy

How FragMasters uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience.

Last Updated: 25 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how FragMasters ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on fragmasters.info (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Similar technologies include web beacons (small transparent images), local storage, and session storage. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work correctly.

  • fm_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined). Duration: 12 months.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors navigate the Site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

  • Page view tracking to understand which game reviews and tournament pages are most visited;
  • Session duration and bounce rate analysis to improve content quality;
  • Referral source tracking to understand how users discover FragMasters.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

  • Remembering your newsletter subscription status;
  • Storing your preferred content categories (e.g., FPS reviews, tournament alerts).

2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

FragMasters does not currently use targeting or advertising cookies. We do not display third-party advertisements on our Site, and we do not share your browsing data with advertising networks.

3. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":

  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

The specific duration of each cookie we use is indicated in the tables above where applicable.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Site may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We currently use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

  • Web hosting analytics: Aggregated, anonymised traffic statistics provided by our hosting infrastructure;
  • Embedded content: If we embed video content from gaming events, the video provider may set its own cookies subject to their privacy policy.

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit FragMasters, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage (the key is fm_cookie_consent).

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data;
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data;
  • Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data;
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.

Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our Site.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will review this position as industry standards evolve.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable regulations. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
