Cookie Statement
This Cookie Statement explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Silk & Shadow website, and what choices you have regarding their use. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website; they help us deliver a consistent and functional experience across sessions. We use a minimal set of cookies and do not engage in cross-site tracking or behavioural advertising. By continuing to use this site, you consent to our use of cookies as described below.
What Cookies Are and Why We Use Them
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you access Silk & Shadow's website, launcher, or associated online services. They allow us to recognize your preferences, maintain session continuity, and ensure that features such as leaderboard tracking and account authentication function correctly. Without certain cookies, the seamless experience of tracking your shinobi's growing reputation across multiple sessions would not be possible. We use cookies responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the core functionality of Silk & Shadow's web-based services and cannot be disabled without disrupting your access. These cookies handle authentication tokens, session identifiers, and security validations that protect your account from unauthorized access. They do not store personally identifiable information beyond what is required to maintain your logged-in state. Because these cookies are indispensable to the operation of our services, they are placed without requiring your separate consent under applicable law.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies collect aggregated, anonymized data about how players interact with our website and game launcher, including page load times, navigation paths, and error reports. This information helps our development team identify friction points and optimize the delivery of mission briefings, patch notes, and community features. Analytics are powered by trusted third-party providers who process data solely on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements. You may opt out of performance cookies through our Cookie Preference Centre without affecting your core gameplay experience.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies remember your preferences such as language selection, display settings, and notification configurations across visits to Silk & Shadow's official channels. These cookies enable a personalized experience so that every time you return to review your clan standings or mission history, your preferred settings are immediately applied. They may persist for up to twelve months depending on the specific feature they support. Disabling functionality cookies may result in certain personalization features reverting to their default states on subsequent visits.
Targeting and Social Sharing Cookies
Where you have consented, targeting cookies may be placed by our advertising partners to deliver promotional content about Silk & Shadow updates and expansions on third-party platforms. Social sharing cookies are set when you choose to share your campaign achievements or clan records through integrated social media features. These cookies are controlled by the respective third-party providers and are subject to their own privacy policies. You may withdraw consent for targeting cookies at any time through the Cookie Preference Centre, and this will take effect for future browsing sessions.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over which non-essential cookies are active during your interactions with Silk & Shadow's digital platforms. Our Cookie Preference Centre, accessible via the footer of our website and the game launcher settings, allows you to review and adjust your choices at any time. Most modern browsers also provide built-in tools to manage, block, or delete cookies independently of our preference controls. Please note that clearing cookies through your browser may reset certain in-browser preferences, requiring you to reconfigure them on your next visit.
Third-Party Cookies and External Links
Some pages within Silk & Shadow's online ecosystem embed content or links from third-party services such as video platforms, community forums, and social networks, which may set their own cookies. We do not control the cookie practices of these external providers and recommend reviewing their respective cookie and privacy policies. Third-party cookies are only activated on our platform where you have granted the appropriate level of consent through our Preference Centre. Our inclusion of external content does not imply endorsement of the third party's data practices.
Updates to This Cookie Statement
We may revise this Cookie Statement to reflect changes in the technologies we use, updates to applicable regulations, or the introduction of new online features tied to Silk & Shadow's evolving content roadmap. Significant changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on our website or via in-game message prior to the update taking effect. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this document for your reference. We encourage you to review this statement periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used across our platforms.
