Cookie Notice

This site sets one cookie, and only if you choose a language. There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixel, no third-party script and no other storage of any kind. That is why there is no consent banner on this page or any other: there is nothing here to consent to.

The list below is the whole list. If it ever stops being the whole list, this page changes first.

1. The one cookie

Name	lang
What it holds	A two-letter language code: en or tr. Nothing else.
Who sets it	Us. It is a first-party cookie; no one else can read it.
When it is set	Only when you click a language link. Reading the site never sets it.
What it is for	So that maegenonline.com/ sends you to the language you chose, instead of asking again.
How long it lasts	365 days from the click.
Flags	Path=/, SameSite=Lax.
Linked to you?	No. It is not joined to your account, to an identifier, or to anything else.

If you do not have it, the site looks at the language your browser asks for and, failing that, shows English. You lose the remembered choice and nothing else.

2. Why we do not ask you to agree to it

Storing anything on your device normally needs your consent. There is an exception for storage that is strictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the user to provide the service — Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC. A cookie that does nothing but remember the language you deliberately asked for falls inside it:

• it stores a preference about this service and nothing else;
• it is not linked to a username or any other persistent identifier;
• it is written only on your explicit action — the click on the language link.

Those are the conditions the Article 29 Working Party set out for user-interface customisation cookies in Opinion 04/2012, and France’s CNIL says the same in its own words: interface-personalisation trackers need no consent where the personalisation is “an intrinsic and expected element of the service”. On a site published in two languages, the language switch is exactly that.

Under the local rules that apply to us the answer is the same and simpler. The rule about storing things on a user’s device — Article 51(3) of Law No. 5809 — binds licensed electronic communications operators, not website operators. What applies to us is Law No. 6698, and it applies to personal data; a cookie holding en or tr, tied to nothing, is not that. The Personal Data Protection Authority’s own cookie guide (Publication No. 69, July 2025) puts language-preference cookies in its Criterion B — the category that needs no explicit consent — and expressly leaves cookies that process no personal data outside the guide altogether.

Because the exception applies, it covers both asking you and offering you a way to refuse (recital 66 of Directive 2009/136/EC). A banner asking for consent we do not need, and cannot honour in any meaningful way, would be theatre.

3. How to get rid of it

Your browser’s settings will delete it, block it, or clear it along with everything else this site has stored. There is no switch on our side to offer you, because there is nothing to switch off: refuse it and the site works, in the language your browser asks for.

4. Everything we do not do

On the pages of this website:

• No analytics. Not ours, not anyone’s. We do not know how many of you read this page.
• No advertising and no advertising cookies, and nothing that profiles you.
• No tracking pixels, no beacons, no fingerprinting.
• No localStorage, no sessionStorage, no other browser storage.
• No third-party requests at all. Every font, image and script comes from this domain; the page’s security policy forbids the rest.
• The trailer dialog is where a video will be embedded when there is one to embed. Until there is, it embeds nothing. When it does, the embed will use the no-cookie player, it will only load if you open the dialog, and this page will say so before it ships.

If analytics is ever added, it will be named on this page — what it is, what it collects, how long it keeps it — before it is switched on, and, for visitors in the EU and EEA, it will only run for people who agree to it. Accepting the Terms of Use is not agreeing to that, and never will be: agreement to terms is not consent to tracking.

5. The other addresses

This notice covers maegenonline.com. Two neighbours work differently, and it would be misleading to fold them in here:

• The account system (account.maegenonline.com) sets no cookies of its own. There is no web sign-in: the game client authenticates with a signed ticket, which is not stored in your browser. The registration page does load one third-party component, Cloudflare Turnstile, which is there to keep automated sign-ups out. Cloudflare documents that Turnstile’s short-lived visitor identifiers work “without relying on cookies or client-side storage”, but the challenge is Cloudflare’s software and not ours, and it may store what it needs on your device to do its job. What it processes — including the fact that your IP address is sent to Cloudflare for the check — is described in the Privacy Notice, and Cloudflare’s own privacy terms apply to it.
• The game client is a program on your computer, not a web page. It has no cookies. What it records is in the Privacy Notice.

6. Questions

Write to [email protected], or to [PRIVACY CONTACT ADDRESS] for anything about your data. Your rights over personal data — access, correction, erasure, objection and the rest — are in the Privacy Notice, along with how to use them.
