What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, secure platforms, and facilitate e-commerce transactions.
Our Use of Cookies
Glitch Guild Ltd respects your privacy and operates a strict data minimisation policy. We do not use non-essential trackers, marketing pixels, or third-party analytics scripts. We do not track your browsing history for advertising purposes.
We only deploy "Strictly Necessary" cookies. These trackers are critical for the core functionality, security, and payment processing capabilities of our website. Because the platform cannot function securely without them, they operate by default and do not require prior consent under UK law.
