1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to site operators. Cookies can be "persistent" (stored until they expire or are deleted) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
pokemonwindsandwavesevolutions.live is a static informational website. Our use of cookies is minimal. The following categories describe the cookies that may be present on the Site:
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They are typically set by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and include:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management and security protection | 30 minutes |
| __cfruid | Cloudflare | Rate limiting to protect against DDoS attacks | Session |

4. Analytics Cookies
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These tools may set cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track page views. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify individual users.
If analytics cookies are in use, they will be listed here. As of the last update, the Site does not use any third-party analytics cookies beyond what is provided by Cloudflare's built-in Web Analytics (which is cookie-free).
5. Third-Party Cookies
This Site does not intentionally set third-party advertising or tracking cookies. However, when external resources are loaded (e.g., Pokémon sprite images from GitHub/PokéAPI), those third-party servers may set their own cookies according to their own policies. We have no control over these cookies.

- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific sites.
- Block all cookies from being set.
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on this and other websites. Strictly necessary cookies (such as Cloudflare security cookies) are required for the Site to function properly.
