Cookie Policy

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. “Local storage” is similar, but stays in your browser and isn’t sent to our servers. This policy explains both, and is part of our Privacy Policy.
Essential (always on)
These are needed for the Site to work, so they don’t need consent.
| Name | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
better-auth.session_token (may start with __Secure-) | Keeps you signed in, securely | Up to 30 days, or until you sign out |
mcf_mclink_state | Protects “Link with Microsoft” against forged requests | A few minutes, during linking only |
Local storage (in your browser only)
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
theme | Remembers dark or light mode |
mcf:guest-favorites | Your favorite servers while you’re signed out, until you sign in |
mcf:voter | Remembers the Minecraft name you last voted with, to fill it in next time |
You can clear these at any time in your browser settings.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
Google and its partners set cookies such as __gads, __gpi, __eoi and IDE to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent ad fraud, and, if you allow it, to personalize them. Google’s consent tool also saves your choice in cookies such as FCCDCF and FCNEC. These cookies belong to Google, which uses the data under its own policies: see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
- EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland: Google asks for your consent before setting advertising cookies. Without consent you may see limited, non-personalized ads.
- Everywhere: you can turn off personalized ads at Google Ad Settings.
- California: you can opt out of the “sharing” of your information for ads with Privacy choices below, or by turning on Global Privacy Control in your browser.
