Last Updated: April 29, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Fragridge (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://fragridge.com/. As a leading hub for gaming and esports, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect data to provide the best user experience possible.

1. Understanding What Cookies Are
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners like Fragridge to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and offer reporting information for site performance monitoring.
Cookies set by Fragridge are known as “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than us (such as Twitch, YouTube, or Google) are known as “third-party cookies.” These third-party cookies enable specialized features like live esports stream embeds and interactive gaming community tools on our site.
2. Why We Use Cookies for Our Gaming Community
On a dedicated gaming and esports hub like Fragridge, cookies are essential for several specialized functions that help us maintain a high-quality platform for gamers worldwide:
- Strictly Necessary: These are vital for technical reasons, such as keeping you logged into our gaming forums or securing your session while you browse the latest esports patch notes.
- Esports Media & Streaming: We frequently embed live tournament streams from Twitch and gameplay videos from YouTube. These platforms use cookies to track view counts and save your player settings.
- Analytics & Hardware Reviews: We use cookies to see which gaming gear reviews are attracting the most attention. This helps us prioritize the specific esports content that our readers care about most.
3. Detailed Breakdown of Cookies Used on Fragridge
| Cookie Category | Function & Gaming Purpose |
|---|---|
| Security & Authentication | Identifies trusted web traffic and protects user accounts in our community forums. |
| Analytics (Google Analytics) | Collects anonymous data on how many users visit Fragridge daily. |
| Multimedia (YouTube/Twitch) | Stores preferences for embedded esports tournament broadcasts. |
4. Flash Cookies and Local Shared Objects
Websites may also use “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations. Fragridge uses these sparingly to ensure that interactive gaming elements on our pages load correctly and remember your specific user-selected configurations.
5. Other Tracking Technologies: Web Beacons
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other technologies from time to time, like web beacons (tracking pixels). These allow us to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within Fragridge to another and understand if you have come to our site from a gaming advertisement on another platform.
6. Affiliate Disclosure and Link Tracking
Our Cookie Policy also covers the use of affiliate tracking. Fragridge participates in various affiliate marketing programs. If you click on a link for a gaming mouse or GPU and make a purchase, a small cookie may be placed to track that transaction. This allows us to earn a small commission which supports our editorial team at no extra cost to you.
7. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data. This includes the right to access the data we have collected via cookies, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt-out of the “sale” of personal information. We respect the privacy of every gamer and provide tools to manage these permissions easily.
8. Managing Your Individual Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your rights by:
- Browser Settings: Adjust your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to delete or block cookies.
- Google Analytics Opt-out: Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
