Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Quest Periph ("we", "us", "our"), operating questperiph.com, uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit our gaming accessories review website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local Storage (specifically, browser localStorage) is a similar technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, but unlike cookies, this data is not automatically sent to our servers with every request. We use a combination of both on questperiph.com.

How We Use These Technologies

1. Essential Storage: Consent Preferences

When you first visit Quest Periph, a cookie consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies (such as analytics). Your response — either "accept" or "decline" — is saved directly in your browser's localStorage.

• Purpose: To remember your cookie preference so the banner does not reappear on every visit and so we respect your choice.
• Type: Strictly necessary for site functionality; this is not a tracking cookie and contains no personal identifiers beyond your yes/no preference.
• Duration: Persists in your browser until you clear your browser data or manually change your preference.
• Third-party access: This data stays in your browser and is not transmitted to us or any third party.

2. Analytics Cookies (Only With Your Consent)

If you click "Accept" on our consent banner, we load analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors use Quest Periph — which reviews and comparison articles are most read, how visitors navigate between pages, and general traffic patterns. If you click "Decline," these analytics scripts and cookies are never loaded, and no analytics data is collected from your visit.

• Purpose: Understand aggregate site usage, improve our gaming accessory reviews and buying guides, and identify technical issues.
• Data collected: Pages visited, time on site, referring website, approximate location (country/city level), device and browser type.
• Provider: These cookies are set by a third-party analytics provider (such as Google Analytics or a comparable service). The provider's own privacy policy governs how they process this data on their servers.
• Duration: Varies by provider, typically between 24 hours and 2 years for different analytics cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

The only third-party cookies used on questperiph.com are analytics cookies, and only after you have given consent via our banner. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking cookies. Our review content may link out to retailers or manufacturers (for example, when referencing where a product can be purchased), but we do not control cookies set by those external websites once you leave questperiph.com. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party site you visit through our links.

Do We Use Any Other Local Storage?

Beyond your consent preference, we may use minimal, functional localStorage entries to remember display settings you choose while browsing, such as a dark mode toggle or a dismissed notification banner. These entries do not identify you personally and are not shared with third parties.

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

You are always in control of your cookie preferences. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using any of the following methods:

• Clear your browser storage: Go into your browser's settings and clear cookies and site data (including localStorage) specifically for questperiph.com. This will erase your saved preference, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice.
• Use browser privacy tools: Most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) let you block cookies from specific sites or all third-party cookies by default through their privacy or security settings.
• Private/incognito browsing: Using a private browsing window will prevent long-term storage of cookies and localStorage data beyond that session.
• Browser extensions: You may also use ad-blocking or privacy browser extensions to prevent analytics scripts from loading, regardless of your stored consent choice.

Please note that clearing your browser storage will reset all preferences, including your accept/decline choice, meaning you will be asked to make a fresh cookie decision the next time you visit Quest Periph.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
