Cookies Policy

Last updated: 18 August 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how VORTEXSKINS LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on vortexskins.com. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Cookies let the site remember what is in your basket, keep you signed in between pages, and understand which parts of the catalogue are used. We also use comparable technologies such as local storage.

2. The categories we use

Strictly necessary

These make the store function and cannot be switched off. They keep your session and basket, remember that you have signed in through Steam, protect forms against abuse, and carry your cookie choice.

Cookie	Purpose	Typical lifetime
woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart	Tracks the contents of your basket	Session
wp_woocommerce_session_*	Links your basket and checkout to your session	2 days
wordpress_logged_in_*	Keeps you signed in to your account	Session – 14 days
vx_cookie_consent	Remembers your cookie preferences	12 months

Functional

These remember choices you make so the store behaves the way you left it — your wishlist and comparison list, catalogue view and sorting, and recently viewed skins. Turning them off does not break the store, but some conveniences stop working.

Analytics

These help us count visits and see which pages and filters are used, so we can improve the catalogue. They are only set if you agree to them, and the reports we see are aggregated.

Advertising

We do not run third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking for advertising purposes.

3. Managing cookies

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the cookie notice on the site. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings — every major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) provides controls under its privacy or security settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the basket and checkout from working.

4. Third parties

Some pages load resources from services we rely on, such as our payment provider at checkout and Steam when you sign in. Those services may set their own cookies under their own policies, and we do not control them.

5. Changes

We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows the current version. Questions go to privacy@vortexskins.com.
