Cookie Statement

When you visit the Pixel Dispatch website or play through a browser session, small text files called cookies are stored on your device. These files help the site remember your preferences, keep your session running smoothly between dispatches, and understand how players move through the game interface. Without them, every visit would feel like starting from a fresh map with no memory of where you have already been.

Some cookies are essential for the site to function at all — they handle things like maintaining your login state, keeping your in-game settings intact during a session, and making sure the map loads correctly when you jump back in. These cannot be switched off without breaking core gameplay functionality. They store no personally identifiable information beyond what is needed to keep your session alive.

We use analytics cookies to understand which delivery routes players find most engaging, where sessions tend to drop off, and how long it takes to complete a dispatch run. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we see patterns across many players, not a replay of your specific journey. The insights help us balance difficulty, improve load times, and decide which new zones to build out next.

Functional cookies remember choices you have made — your preferred control layout, sound settings, or the region you selected on your last visit. Without these, you would need to reconfigure everything each time you open the game. They are tied to your browser and device, not to a named account, and they expire when their purpose is served.

Pixel Dispatch integrates with third-party services — analytics platforms and, where applicable, social sharing tools — that may set their own cookies. We do not control how those third parties use their cookies, and we encourage you to review their individual cookie policies. We only work with providers whose data practices align with reasonable privacy standards.

Session cookies disappear the moment you close your browser — they exist only for the duration of a single run. Persistent cookies, such as those that remember your preferences or analytics identifiers, are set with defined expiry dates ranging from 30 days to a maximum of 13 months. After expiry they are deleted automatically; no manual cleanup required on your end.

You can control cookie settings through the consent banner shown on your first visit, and revisit your choices at any time through the cookie preferences panel linked in the site footer. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies directly in their settings menus — instructions for the most common browsers are widely available online. Disabling certain cookies may affect how well parts of the Pixel Dispatch interface work, but it will not prevent you from accessing the game itself.

As Pixel Dispatch grows — new zones, new features, new integrations — this Cookie Statement will be updated to reflect any changes in how we use cookies. The date at the top of the page will always tell you when we last revised it. Continuing to use the site after a revision means you have seen and accepted the updated terms.
