Cookie policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. Walter uses a handful to keep you signed in, remember a preference or two, and, only if you agree, to see which parts people use. That is the whole list. No ad tracking.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website leaves on your device so it can recognise it on the next request. Some are set by walter.gg directly. A few come from the services we rely on, like our analytics. We also use a couple of similar technologies, such as local storage in your browser, and treat those the same way.
The categories
Essential
Always onKeep you logged in, secure the forms, and remember your cookie choice. Walter cannot run without these, so they are always on.
Functional
OptionalRemember small preferences, like your display theme and whether you have played before, so Walter can skip a step next time.
Analytics
With consentShow us which parts of Walter people actually use, so we fix what breaks. Anonymous and grouped, and only after you agree.
Marketing
Not usedWalter runs no advertising or social tracking pixels today. If that ever changes, this page and the consent banner change first.
