You have not chosen yet · until you do, only essential cookies are used.
What each cookie does
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
__gads / __gpi / _gcl_* |
Google AdSense. Frequency capping (so you are not shown the same ad repeatedly), invalid-traffic detection and aggregate reporting. Ads are served in non-personalised mode, so these are not used to build an advertising profile of you. Nothing loads until you accept optional cookies. | Up to 13 months | Optional |
sid |
Keeps you signed in. Holds a random session id only · no personal data is stored in the cookie itself. | 30 days | Essential |
lang |
Remembers the interface language you picked so we do not fall back to your browser header on every visit. | 1 year | Essential |
theme |
Remembers your dark/light choice. Your browser may also store the same choice locally under the key "vs-theme". | 1 year | Essential |
flash |
Carries a one-off confirmation or error message across a redirect ("Vote counted", "Saved"). | 30 seconds | Essential |
consent |
Stores your cookie choice ("essential" or "all") so we stop asking. Without it we cannot honour your decision. | 1 year | Essential |
ign |
Remembers the in-game name you last voted with, so you do not retype it on every server, and so a vote reminder can be switched on in one tap. It is the name you already publish by voting. | 1 year | Essential |
anon |
A random id that lets you keep saved searches without an account. It is not linked to any other data. | 1 year | Essential |
fav |
Your favourited servers while you are not signed in. Holds server ids only, and moves onto your account if you register. | 1 year | Essential |
swipe_id / swipe_q |
The "Find my server" deck: a random id so the same server is not shown twice, and the filters you last swiped with. | 180 days | Essential |
Tebex checkout cookies |
Set by Tebex only if you start a payment for a premium listing, to keep your basket and prevent payment fraud. No Tebex cookie is set until you open a checkout. | Set by Tebex, typically the session up to 1 year | Optional |
