Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ewoks.com (“the Village,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our platform. We keep things simple here — no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, just the essentials to keep the Village running smoothly.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another. Think of them as trail markers left along the forest path so you can find your way back to your tree-hut.
2. Cookies We Use
Below is a full list of the cookies and similar storage mechanisms used on Ewoks.com:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Essential | Authenticates your session and keeps you logged in | Session or 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Essential | Protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Essential | Stores the URL to redirect you to after login | Session |
| cookie-consent | Functional | Remembers your cookie consent preference (stored in localStorage, not technically a cookie) | Persistent |
3. Essential vs Optional Cookies
All cookies used by Ewoks.com are essential for the site to function properly. They are required for authentication, security, and basic platform operations. We do not use any cookies for tracking, advertising, analytics, or profiling purposes. No one is watching you through the trees — the Village respects your privacy.
Because we only use essential cookies, the site does not require separate opt-in consent for cookie categories. However, we still provide a consent banner out of respect for your awareness and control.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Ewoks.com uses Google reCAPTCHA on certain forms (such as registration and the contact page) to protect against automated spam and abuse. When reCAPTCHA loads, Google may set its own cookies on your device to perform bot detection. These cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not control the cookies set by Google reCAPTCHA, but they are only loaded on pages where the CAPTCHA is actively used — not across the entire site.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or clear all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
Please note: if you block or delete essential cookies (such as the authentication session cookie), you will not be able to log in or use authenticated features of Ewoks.com. The village gates require your trail marker to let you through.
To clear the cookie consent preference stored in localStorage, you can clear your browser's site data for Ewoks.com through your browser settings.
6. 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. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
7. Contact Us
If you have questions about our use of cookies, feel free to reach out through our Contact page or send a signal fire to privacy@ewoks.com. The Council of Elders is happy to help.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
