Cookies are small files that Miraheze can send to your browser for storage on your computer. Cookies make using the Services easier by saving your status and preferences and refreshing them every time you use the Services. For instance, Miraheze may use cookies to recognise you when you return to the Services so that you do not have to resubmit your log-in credentials. In order to clear this logon information, for example if using a public terminal, you should log out of your account. While many browsers allow you to change your settings in order to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent, Miraheze recommends that you leave cookies enabled, as disabling cookies may prevent you from using and may interfere with some functionality of the Services.
Cookies are not required to browse Miraheze, but are technically required for some features. Miraheze uses cookies for:
- Maintaining logged in status, using an account, and setting preferences; or
- Ensuring that once you have read the cookie warning required by UK law, you no longer see this notice; or
- Gathering Usage Information for statistical purposes. This may be disabled by setting your browser to send a Do Not Track header.
No personally identifiable information will be disclosed to any third party solely and directly by your use of cookies.
