Cookie Policy
Effective date: 2026-06-25 · mc.lnk24.co
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (remain until they expire or you delete them).
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel beacons. This policy refers to all of these collectively as “cookies”.
2. How we use cookies
Minecraft Platform uses cookies to:
- Keep you securely logged in to your admin account.
- Remember your theme preference (light / dark / auto).
- Remember your cookie consent choices.
- Understand how visitors use the platform (if you consent to analytics).
- Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns (if you consent to marketing).
3. Cookie categories
We categorise our cookies as follows. You can manage your preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage preferences” link in the cookie banner, or by using your browser settings.
3.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not track you or serve advertising.

| next-auth.session-token | Auth.js | Maintains your authenticated session. | Session |

| theme | Local storage | Stores your light/dark/auto theme preference. | Persistent · No expiry |
3.2 Analytics
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Platform. All data is aggregated and anonymised; no personal identifiers are passed to third-party analytics services. These cookies are only set if you consent.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users; used to calculate visit, session, and campaign data. | Persistent · 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Stores and counts page views. | Persistent · 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics | Throttles request rate. | Session |
Note: Analytics cookies are only placed if the Platform operator has configured an analytics service and you have consented.
3.3 Marketing
Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to enable us to show relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies are only set if you explicitly consent.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Identifies browsers for advertising; distinguishes and deduplicates users. | Persistent · 90 days |
| _fbc | Meta (Facebook) | Stores the last time a user clicked an ad. | Persistent · 90 days |
Note: Marketing cookies are only placed if the Platform operator has configured a marketing integration and you have consented.
4. Managing your cookie preferences
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie banner — click “Manage preferences” in the banner at the bottom of any public page to adjust your consent at any time.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note: disabling strictly necessary cookies may break Platform functionality.
- Opt-out tools — you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For interest-based advertising, visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU) or aboutads.info (US).
Withdrawing consent will cause the non-essential cookies to be automatically cleared on your next page load.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on the Platform are set by third-party services (analytics, marketing). These third parties have their own privacy policies and may process your data in their own right. We have no control over how they use cookies once set.
We limit third-party cookies to those for which you give explicit consent, and we do not permit third-party advertising networks to set cookies based purely on your visit to the Platform without consent.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We honour DNT signals by not initialising any non-essential cookies when DNT is active, regardless of your stored consent preference. Please note that DNT is not a universally implemented standard and not all third-party services respect it.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page periodically. Material changes will be announced via the cookie banner.
