== Cookie Information ==
This page explains how cookies are used by the e-girl wiki. By continuing to use this site, you consent to our use of cookies.

=== What are cookies? ===
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your web browser at the request of a site you're viewing. This allows the site you're viewing to remember things about you, such as your preferences and history, or to keep you logged in.

Cookies may be stored on your computer for a short time (such as only while your browser is open) or for an extended period, even years. Cookies not set by the e-girl wiki will not be accessible to us.

=== Our cookie usage ===
The e-girl wiki uses cookies for various purposes, including:

* Registration and maintaining your preferences. This includes ensuring that you stay logged in and keeping the site in the language or appearance that you requested.
* Analytics. This allows us to determine how people are using the site and improve it.
* Advertising cookies (possibly third-party). If the e-girl wiki displays advertising, cookies may be set by advertisers to determine who has viewed an ad or similar things. These cookies may be set by third parties, in which case the e-girl wiki has no ability to read or write these cookies.
* Other third-party cookies for things like Facebook or Twitter sharing. These cookies will generally be set by third parties independently, so the e-girl wiki will have no ability to access them.

=== Standard cookies we set ===
These are the main cookies we set during normal operation of the software:

* '''xf_csrf'''
** Stores a token, unique to you, which is used to verify that the actions you perform on this site were intended to be performed by you.
* '''xf_session'''
** Stores the current ID of your session.
* '''xf_user'''
** Stores a key, unique to you, which allows us to keep you logged in as you navigate from page to page.

=== Additional cookies and those set by third parties ===
Additional cookies may be set during the use of the site to remember information as certain actions are being performed or remembering certain preferences.

Other cookies may be set by third-party service providers, which may provide information such as tracking anonymously which users are visiting the site, or set by content embedded into some pages, such as YouTube or other media service providers.
