Cookies Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Hijack ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on hijack.gg and our platform. It should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They help with security, preferences, and understanding how the service is used.
We also use similar technologies where applicable, including local storage and session storage in your browser to remember settings (for example, theme preferences) or to store tokens or identifiers needed for authentication flows, subject to your browser settings.
Pixels and tags may be used by analytics or security vendors we employ to measure performance or detect abuse; those partners may set their own cookies subject to their policies.
Why We Use Them
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
Strictly necessary / security
Required for the site and app to work—for example route protection, load balancing, security features, and session continuity after sign-in. These may include HttpOnly or Secure flags where supported. Disabling them may prevent login or core features.
Functional and preferences
Remember choices such as language, theme (light/dark), or UI state so you do not have to reset them on every visit.
Analytics and performance
Help us understand aggregate usage, diagnose errors, and improve reliability. Where possible we minimize identifiable data and use aggregated or pseudonymous reporting.
Anti-abuse and integrity
Support bot detection, rate limiting, and fraud prevention (sometimes in conjunction with third-party challenge providers). These activities may involve cookies or tokens set by those providers.
First-Party vs Third-Party
First-party cookies are set by Hijack when you use our domain. Third-party cookies are set by partners (for example payment, captcha, analytics, or infrastructure providers) when their content or scripts load. Third-party use is governed by their respective policies; we encourage you to review them.
Session vs Persistent
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them; maximum durations depend on the specific cookie and purpose (for example authentication session length or analytics retention window).
Your Choices
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break sign-in or security flows. For advertising-related signals in jurisdictions that require it, we do not sell personal information; opt-out rights for "sale" or "sharing" under U.S. state laws are described in our Privacy Policy.
- Use your browser's help documentation to manage cookies and site data
- Consider privacy-focused browsers or extensions if you want finer control
- Clearing cookies logs you out of most services that rely on them
Updates
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will revise the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice through the Services or by email.
