Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember preferences and understand usage patterns.

2. How We Use Cookies

train45.wiki uses minimal cookies. Our primary data storage mechanism is browser localStorage for interactive tools, which functions similarly to cookies but stores data locally on your device without automatic transmission to servers.

3. Types of Storage We Use

Essential Local Storage: Interactive tools store your checklist, affinity, and ending planner progress in localStorage keys prefixed with "train45-". This is essential for tool functionality and remains entirely on your device.

Analytics Cookies: If enabled, we may use privacy-respecting analytics cookies to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These do not identify individual users.

Third-Party Cookies: YouTube video embeds on guide pages may set cookies when you click to play a video. We use privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embeds that minimize tracking until playback begins.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect core wiki content but may prevent interactive tools from saving your progress. To clear tool data specifically, use the reset buttons within each tool or clear localStorage for train45.wiki in your browser.

5. Third-Party Services

Third-party services embedded on our Site (such as YouTube) have their own cookie policies. We encourage you to review Google's privacy policy for YouTube embed interactions.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. Check the "Last updated" date for the current version.
