Privacy & Cookies This page explains what information Shadows of Isildur collects when you use our website, game, and forum, and what cookies are used to make that possible. It applies to shadowsofisildur.com, the game server (play.shadowsofisildur.com), and our forum at /forum/. Cookies We Use We do not use any advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies. The only cookies set by this site are the ones below, all of which are required for the site and forum to function: Cookie Set By Purpose Duration PHPSESSID shadowsofisildur.com Keeps you logged into your game account on the website Until browser closes phpbb3_* /forum/ Keeps you logged into the forum and remembers your forum session Up to 1 year __cf_bm / cf_clearance Cloudflare Security: helps Cloudflare (our hosting/security provider) tell humans apart from bots and protect the site from abuse Up to 1 year . Why There's No "Accept Cookies" Banner Under EU law, websites need your consent before setting cookies that aren't essential to the service, e.g. advertising or analytics cookies. The cookies listed above are all strictly necessary — they exist solely so that, if you choose to log in, the site and forum can remember that you're logged in. Cookies of this kind are exempt from the consent requirement, which is why we don't show a cookie pop-up. If we ever add anything non-essential (such as analytics), we will update this page and ask for your consent first. . Information We Collect If you create a game account or forum account, we store the username, email address, and a securely hashed password you provide — we never store passwords in plain text. Your account is also linked to the in-game characters ("PCs") you play. Standard web server logs (including IP addresses) are kept briefly for security and abuse-prevention purposes, consistent with our multi-account policy. Forum posts and private messages are stored as part of the normal operation of the forum software (phpBB). . How We Protect Your Data The site is served entirely over HTTPS, login sessions use hardened, secure cookies, and passwords are stored as hashes rather than plain text. We don't share your account information with third parties, other than Cloudflare, who provide security and content delivery for this site. . Your Rights If you are located in the EU/EEA or UK, you have the right under the GDPR to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and associated data. To make such a request, or if you have any questions about this page, please email [email protected]. .
