Every question about browser cookies answered plainly.

This cookie notice took effect on 2026-10-28. It applies to all visitors accessing boardgamestore.click from that date onward and reflects our current tag deployment across search and social advertising channels.

We break our browser storage into three precise categories:

• Strictly Necessary: Files essential for the site to function properly. This includes keeping track of whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies (site_consent_v2) and maintaining your support chat session token so your conversation does not vanish if you refresh the page. These cannot be switched off without breaking core workshop tools.
• Measurement & Analytics: Aggregated diagnostic metrics that tell our desk how many hobbyists view our card sleeve charts and whether mobile visitors can navigate our Euro box organizers smoothly. These contain no direct identifiers like your name or street address.
• Marketing & Advertising: Tags and pixels deployed to evaluate paid marketing campaigns on search engines and social platforms. They verify whether an ad click resulted in a submitted custom component quote request.

Here is the full inventory of cookies and local storage items used on boardgamestore.click:

Our workshop advertises directly on google ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads. When you click an advertisement pointing to our catalogue, the respective platform appends a unique cryptographic query string to the destination URL:

• Google Ads appends the gclid parameter.
• Microsoft Advertising appends the msclkid parameter.
• Meta Ads appends the fbclid parameter.

If you have consented to marketing storage, our tags pair these click identifiers with completed inquiry actions (such as sending a custom organizer fit request) so we know which campaigns are performing. If you reject marketing storage, these identifiers are ignored and no conversion beacon is transmitted.

We deploy Google Consent Mode v2 across our site. This system operates as a hardware-like gate for analytics and ad scripts. Before you interact with our consent banner, the browser holds four distinct operational signals in an absolute denied state:

• ad_storage: Denied (no advertising cookies or local tokens written).
• ad_user_data: Denied (no user-specific telemetry dispatched to Google).
• ad_personalization: Denied (no profile building for retargeting).
• analytics_storage: Denied (no analytical measurement cookies set).

Only when you click “Accept All” do these four signals switch to granted. If you click “Reject Optional” or close the banner without accepting, every signal remains denied. If you change your mind later and withdraw consent, the signals immediately flip back to denied.

When you first arrive on any page, a clear banner appears at the foot of the screen with two straightforward options: “Reject Optional” and “Accept All”.

You can change this choice at any moment. At the very bottom of every page on this site, in the footer legal bar, there is a dedicated button labelled Cookie Settings. Clicking that button re-opens the consent dialog instantly, allowing you to withdraw approval or adjust your preferences.

You can also clear all stored cookies directly through your browser’s security settings (under Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data).

Nothing breaks. You will still have full, unrestricted access to our entire catalogue of 37 tabletop accessories, our Baltic birch box insert dimensions, our 100-micron card sleeve comparison charts, our turned brass coin weights, and our live per-unit price estimator.

The only thing that stops is marketing telemetry: Google, Microsoft, and Meta will not receive conversion confirmation from your visit, and we will not receive analytical data regarding which sections of our catalogue you reviewed.

Each advertising partner maintains its own privacy governance and data management portals:

• Google policies and opt-out options: policies.google.com
• Microsoft Advertising privacy documentation: privacy.microsoft.com
