Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how TheGamingTheme ("we," "us," or "our"), located at 1426 English Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46201, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit https://thegamingtheme.com. It explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit it. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you return to the site or browse between pages. Cookies can also help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it over time.

Cookies are not programs — they cannot execute code, install software, or access files on your device. They store only the information that your browser sends to them.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, page navigation, and access to protected areas of the site. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the site would not function without them.

  • tg_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent preference so we don't display the banner on every page visit. Duration: 12 months.
  • Session cookies — Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser, used to maintain your session as you navigate between pages.

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our site. We only place these cookies if you have given your consent.

  • Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) — Used to distinguish users and throttle request rate. Data is anonymized before being stored. Duration: up to 2 years.

Functional Cookies (Optional)

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages.

  • Google Fonts — May set cookies to deliver font resources efficiently.
  • Google Maps — Used on our contact page. May set cookies to render the embedded map correctly.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties on our behalf or when we embed third-party content (such as a Google Map). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies and may collect information about your online activities across different websites. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the relevant third party's privacy policy for more information:

  • Google Privacy Policy

4. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (as specified in their expiry date) or until you delete them manually.

Our consent storage cookie (tg_cookie_consent) persists for 12 months so we can remember your preference. Analytics cookies may persist for up to 2 years depending on the service.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit TheGamingTheme, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to accept or decline optional cookies at that point. If you decline, only strictly necessary cookies will be placed.

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies have been set and delete them individually
  • Block cookies from specific sites
  • Block all third-party cookies
  • Clear all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At present, we do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we respect your right to opt out of analytics cookies through our consent banner.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
