Cookie Architecture

We treat your digital footprint with the same precision we apply to our game mechanics. This policy outlines the invisible scaffolding that keeps Wide Horizon Z functional, secure, and responsive.

While the aesthetic is cinematic, the machinery underneath is strictly utilitarian. We use a minimal set of data packets to ensure the site renders correctly and to understand how our architecture is being traversed.

Data Mechanics

VISUALIZATION: DATA FLOW

Packet Inspection

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit Wide Horizon Z. We utilize two specific classes of these files to maintain the integrity of our portfolio presentation.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are the load-bearing walls of our site. They manage session security, load balancing across our servers, and ensure that your preference settings (such as high-contrast mode or region) persist between pages. Without these, the site would simply not load.

Performance & Analytics: We track "vanity metrics" only—specifically, which game concepts are viewed longest and which assets trigger interactions. This data is aggregated and anonymized. It helps us decide which visual styles to develop further in the Studio.

Third-Party Ecosystem

Wide Horizon Z operates as a closed loop. We do not permit social media pixels, advertising trackers, or retargeting services to place cookies on your device. The only external scripts loaded are strictly for technical performance (e.g., font delivery or image rendering libraries).

User Control

Managing Your Trace

You are in full control of the data layer. While we cannot disable "Strictly Necessary" cookies without breaking the site (as the infrastructure relies on them), you can opt-out of our lightweight analytics at any time.
