Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Shells Wiki may use cookies, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies when you visit shells.wiki. Cookies help the website operate, remember basic preferences, measure performance, and understand which pages are useful to readers.
Shells Wiki is an unofficial Roblox Shells guide. We aim to keep data collection limited, transparent, and practical. We do not use cookies to sell personal data. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at support@shells.wiki.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website or browser. They may contain a unique identifier, preference setting, session value, or other limited information that helps the website recognize your browser during a visit or between visits. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and analytics scripts.
Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Temporary cookies usually expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain for a longer period so a website can remember settings such as language, consent status, or basic display preferences. Some cookies are placed directly by Shells Wiki, while others may be placed by third-party services that support analytics, security, embedded content, or website performance.
Cookies do not usually identify you by name on their own. However, depending on how they are used, cookies and technical data can be considered personal data in some regions. This is why we provide this policy and explain the purpose of different cookie categories in plain language.
Types of Cookies We May Use
Shells Wiki may use different categories of cookies or similar technologies. The exact tools may change as the site develops, but the purposes remain the same: operating the website, improving user experience, measuring page performance, and protecting the site from abuse.
These support core website functions, such as navigation, security, page loading, and remembering cookie consent choices. The site may not work properly without them.
These remember choices such as language, layout preferences, theme behavior, or other settings that make browsing Shells Wiki more convenient.
These help us understand which pages users visit, how long pages take to load, which guides are popular, and where readers may need clearer navigation.
| Category | Purpose | Examples of Use |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Operate the website and protect basic functionality. | Security checks, session stability, cookie consent status, and basic navigation. |
| Preferences | Remember choices that improve user experience. | Language settings, visual preferences, saved display state, or interface behavior. |
| Analytics | Measure website performance and content usefulness. | Page views, popular guides, referral pages, browser type, and general usage patterns. |
| Embedded Content | Support content from external platforms when used. | Videos, community widgets, social embeds, or third-party interactive elements. |
Note: Shells Wiki does not require users to create an account to read normal guide pages. If future features add accounts, comments, newsletters, or saved preferences, this Cookie Policy may be updated to explain any additional cookie use.
Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some services used by Shells Wiki may set their own cookies or use similar technologies. These may include analytics providers, hosting platforms, security services, advertising networks, embedded media providers, or community tools. These services help us understand website traffic, keep the site available, prevent abuse, or provide useful features.
Third-party services may process technical information such as your browser type, device category, approximate location based on IP address, page URL, referrer, and interaction data. We do not control every cookie set by third-party services. Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
If Shells Wiki displays ads in the future, advertising partners may use cookies to measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, or show relevant advertising. If this happens, we will aim to provide clear information and any consent controls required by applicable law.
How to Manage Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, limit third-party cookies, or receive notifications before cookies are stored. The exact controls depend on your browser and device.
Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the website function. For example, Shells Wiki may not remember your preferences, consent choices, or certain display settings. Essential cookies may still be required to keep the website secure and functional.
You can also use privacy tools, browser extensions, or device-level settings to limit tracking. If an analytics or advertising provider offers its own opt-out tool, you may use that providerâs controls directly. Because browsers and privacy laws change over time, we recommend checking your browserâs help page for the most current instructions.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as Shells Wiki changes, new features are added, or legal requirements are updated. When we make changes, we may revise the âlast updatedâ information on this page. Continued use of the website after a policy update means you accept the revised policy.
If a major change affects how cookies are used, we may provide additional notice or request consent where required. We encourage users to review this page periodically, especially if they are concerned about analytics, advertising, or third-party embedded content.
