What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. Think of them as tiny enchanted scrolls — brief inscriptions that allow our laboratory to recognise your browser the next time you return, remember your preferences, and make your journey through Elixirium as smooth as a freshly distilled elixir. Cookies themselves contain no executable code, cannot carry viruses, and do not access any other data stored on your device beyond what was placed there by this website.
Why We Use Cookies
Elixirium is a free, points-based social entertainment platform with no real-money component whatsoever. We use cookies purely to ensure that the platform functions correctly, that your session remains stable while you enjoy Classic Roulette inside the Cauldron, and that we can gradually improve the experience based on aggregated, anonymised usage patterns. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, sell your data to third parties, or track you across unrelated websites. Our cookies serve the platform and nothing else.
Types of Cookies We Place
Strictly Necessary Cookies — These are essential for the website to operate and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as confirming your age at the gate, navigating between sections, or starting a roulette session. Without these cookies the platform simply cannot work. They store no personal information and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
Functional Cookies — These allow us to remember choices you make so we can provide a more personalised experience. For example, remembering that you have already passed the age verification gate so that we do not present it on every subsequent page visit during the same session. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other sites.
Analytics Cookies — We use aggregated analytics to understand how visitors interact with different sections of the platform — which pages are most visited, how long alchemists spend at the roulette table, and where people tend to exit. This data is collected anonymously and helps us refine the experience. No individual user is singled out or identified through this process.
Performance Cookies — These help us measure load times, identify errors in the interface, and ensure that all browsers and devices render the platform correctly. They are purely technical in nature and carry no personal identifiers.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser tab. Persistent cookies, such as those that remember your age-gate confirmation, remain on your device for a limited period — typically no longer than 30 days — after which they are deleted automatically. You may also clear all cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies at any time. You can usually find these controls under Settings → Privacy or a similar menu. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain parts of the platform from working properly. Blocking functional cookies may mean you have to re-confirm your age on every visit. We respect your right to control your own device, and we will always make the platform as accessible as possible within your chosen settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time as the platform evolves. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised date at the top. We encourage you to check back periodically so you always know what is inscribed in our scrolls. Continued use of the platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
