Cookie Policy

1. Overview

Seafarer: The Ship Sim Fan Site is a largely static informational fan website. It does not operate a separate analytics script, advertising network, remarketing pixel or shopping-cart cookie system on these pages.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and server logs that can recognise a browser or connection over time.

Cookies are commonly described as:

• Strictly necessary — needed for basic site operation or security;
• Functional — remember preferences or interface behaviour;
• Analytics — help understand how pages are used;
• Advertising — used to deliver or measure ads.

This fan site does not currently use analytics or advertising cookies of its own.

3. How This Site Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

At the time of the last update, Seafarer: The Ship Sim Fan Site does not set first-party advertising or analytics cookies through a dedicated tracking platform.

Limited technical processing may still occur when your browser:

• loads page scripts that run only in the browser session;
• requests fonts from Google Fonts;
• connects to the hosting infrastructure that serves this website.

If we later introduce optional analytics or preference cookies, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, provide an appropriate notice or choice mechanism before non-essential cookies are set.

4. Scripts Used on This Site

A small script on each page only changes the appearance of the navigation bar when you scroll. That script does not store a cookie and does not create a user profile.

On the Contact page, a script handles basic form validation and shows an on-page status message after submission. It does not create a marketing profile and does not store payment information.

5. Google Fonts

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts to display typography consistently. When your browser requests those fonts, Google may receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page being viewed, according to Google’s own policies.

Seafarer: The Ship Sim Fan Site does not control Google’s systems. For information about Google’s practices, review Google’s published privacy documentation.

6. Hosting Logs

Servers that host this website may create ordinary connection logs used for security, troubleshooting and technical operation. Those logs, if they exist, may include IP address, request time, requested URL, referrer and browser user-agent string.

Hosting logs are not used by this fan site for advertising profiling or for building marketing audiences.

7. Category Summary

• Strictly necessary / technical operation: browser requests needed to load HTML, CSS, images and scripts; possible hosting security logs.
• Functional interface scripts: navigation scroll styling and contact-form status messaging that run in-session without creating an advertising profile.
• Third-party font delivery: Google Fonts requests that may involve technical data processed by Google.
• Analytics cookies set by this fan site: none at the time of this update.
• Advertising / remarketing cookies set by this fan site: none at the time of this update.

8. Your Controls

You can use browser settings to:

• block or delete cookies;
• clear cached files and site data;
• limit third-party content;
• use private or incognito browsing modes.

Blocking some resources may affect how fonts or other remote assets load, but the core informational pages are designed to remain readable.

If you contact us about privacy or cookies, we will explain the current technical setup of this fan site as accurately as practical.

9. Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time if our technical setup changes. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when a revision is published.
