What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website. Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting (first-party) or by other services embedded in the page, such as advertising providers (third-party). They are used for things like remembering a preference, keeping you signed in, or selecting and measuring advertising.
Cookies set by SmiteTracker
We do not set tracking or analytics cookies of our own. This site is static reference content with no user accounts, so there is nothing for us to remember about you between visits.
Where a consent notice is legally required in your region, it is presented by Google's certified consent management platform, which stores your choice so you are not asked on every visit. That storage holds your advertising consent preference and nothing else, and it is managed by the advertising provider rather than by us.
Advertising cookies
This site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may set cookies on your device to select which ads to show, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure whether an ad was effective.
What these cookies are used for
- Selecting advertising, which may be based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
- Frequency capping, so the same advertisement is not repeated excessively.
- Measurement and reporting, so advertisers can see whether their advertising reached anyone.
- Fraud prevention and click validation.
These cookies are set and read by the advertising provider, not by us. We do not receive the data they collect, and their use is governed by their own privacy policies.
How to control cookies
Through your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either globally or per site. The relevant setting is usually under Privacy or Site Settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function, though it will not break this one — there is nothing here that depends on a cookie.
Through advertising opt-outs
- Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com controls Google's personalised advertising across services.
- aboutads.info/choices offers an industry-wide opt-out for participating vendors.
- youronlinechoices.eu offers the equivalent for users in Europe.
- Most mobile operating systems also offer a device-level advertising identifier reset or opt-out in their privacy settings.
Changes to this policy
If the cookies used on this site change materially, this page will be updated and the date at the top revised. Questions go to privacy@smitetracker.com.
Frequently asked questions
Does SmiteTracker set its own tracking cookies?
No. The site is static reference content with no accounts, so there is nothing for us to track between visits. Advertising cookies are set by Google and its partners, and where consent is legally required it is collected and stored by Google's certified consent management platform rather than by us.
Can I use the site with cookies blocked?
Yes. Nothing on this site depends on a cookie to function. Blocking them will affect advertising personalisation but will not affect your ability to read anything here.
How do I stop seeing personalised ads?
Use Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com for Google's advertising, and aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu for participating third-party vendors. You will still see advertising — it will just be selected without using your browsing history.
