Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how sandraidersofsophie.net uses cookies, local browser storage, and similar technologies. This site is an independent fan-made guide for SAND: Raiders of Sophie and is not an official game site.
What We Use
- Essential browser storage keeps basic site functionality working and saves local tool progress, such as the Beginner Checklist, in your browser on this device.
- Plausible may load immediately as a privacy-conscious baseline for page views, referral sources, and coarse business events.
- Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Analytics are non-essential analytics tools and load only after analytics consent.
- Similar technologies such as pixels, tags, or scripts may help measure site usage and improve guide pages.
Essential Storage
Some features may use local browser storage so the site works as expected. For example, the Beginner Checklist may save checked items in your browser on this device.
- Checklist data does not require an account.
- Checklist data is not synced to a server.
- Checklist data is not used for payment or billing.
- Checklist data can be cleared by using the Reset checklist button or your browser settings.
- Your analytics choice may be saved in a first-party consent cookie and local browser storage so the site can remember Accept or Reject. This essential preference does not store the optional analytics identifiers.
Analytics Tools
If analytics are enabled where consent is required, we may use the following providers. We do not intentionally collect game account credentials, payment details, private support information, or sensitive personal data through analytics.
| Provider | Purpose | Example Data |
|---|---|---|
| Plausible | Privacy-conscious baseline site analytics that may load immediately | Page views, referral sources, and coarse business events |
| Google Analytics | Consent-gated traffic, referral, page view, and basic event measurement | Page URL, device/browser data, approximate region, analytics identifiers |
| Microsoft Clarity | Consent-gated usability analytics for clicks, scrolling, and layout interaction patterns | Clicks, scrolls, page interaction patterns, device/browser data |
| Ahrefs Analytics | Consent-gated search, referral, and content performance analytics | Page views, referral sources, device/browser data |
Consent
Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Analytics should not load until you accept analytics cookies or similar technologies. Plausible may load immediately as the site privacy-conscious baseline.
You can reject non-essential tracking. Use the Cookie Settings button in the footer to change your choice at any time. Consent choices are not sent as analytics events.
Embedded Media
Community video previews use local images. The privacy-enhanced YouTube player is requested only after you choose to play a video.
After you click play, YouTube or Google may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for playback, security, preferences, and their own measurement under their policies. This playback choice is separate from accepting site analytics.
