Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how QuestMode ON, operated by questmodeon.com, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit and use our visual novel gaming portal. We believe in transparency about how we collect and use data, and this policy provides detailed information about our cookie practices.

This policy covers our website, gaming services, premium bundle platform, community features, and all related digital services we provide. By continuing to use our services, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

We operate primarily within Canada and maintain compliance with Canadian privacy regulations. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive information about our data protection practices.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit websites. They allow websites to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to keep re-entering information whenever you return to a site or navigate between pages.

In the context of our visual novel gaming portal, cookies help us provide a seamless gaming experience by remembering your game preferences, login status, and personalization settings. They also help us understand how you interact with our content so we can improve your experience.

We also use local storage and similar technologies that function like cookies but can store larger amounts of data locally on your device. These technologies help us save your game progress, user interface preferences, and other settings that enhance your visual novel experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

Third-Party Cookies and Services

We work with trusted third-party service providers who may set cookies on our behalf. These include analytics providers who help us understand user behavior, payment processors for secure transactions, content delivery networks for optimal performance, and customer support services that enhance our user experience.

Third-party cookies may be used by game analytics services to track gameplay patterns and user engagement metrics, helping us and game developers improve visual novel content. We also use third-party cookies for social media integration, allowing you to share your gaming achievements and favorite visual novels.

All third-party partners are carefully selected and must comply with our privacy and security standards. Examples include Google Analytics for website analytics, Stripe for payment processing, and specialized gaming analytics platforms that help us understand player preferences and optimize our game recommendations.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies on our platform. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact your visual novel gaming experience and limit access to some features.

Our cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by cookie category. You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site, or by contacting our support team for assistance.

For gaming-specific preferences, you can manage game progress saving, achievement tracking, and personalized recommendations through your account settings. These options give you control over how we use cookies to enhance your visual novel experience while respecting your privacy choices.

Data Retention and Expiration

Different types of cookies have varying lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your browsing session, while preference cookies may persist for up to one year.

Gaming-related cookies, such as those storing your visual novel progress and preferences, are designed to persist longer to provide a seamless experience across multiple sessions. These cookies typically expire after 12-24 months of inactivity, ensuring your game progress is preserved while you remain an active user.

Analytics cookies generally have a lifespan of 12-24 months, allowing us to analyze long-term trends in user behavior and website performance. We regularly review and delete unnecessary cookie data in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable privacy regulations.

Legal Bases for Cookie Use

We use cookies based on several legal grounds depending on their purpose. Essential cookies are necessary for the performance of our services and the fulfillment of our contractual obligations to you. These cookies enable core functionality without which our visual novel platform cannot operate effectively.

Functional and analytics cookies are based on our legitimate business interests in providing an optimized gaming experience and understanding user preferences to improve our services. We balance these interests against your privacy rights and ensure cookies are used proportionally and transparently.

Marketing cookies are used only with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time through your browser settings or by contacting us directly. We respect your choices regarding marketing cookies and provide clear options for managing these preferences.

Your Rights and Choices

For Canadian residents, you have additional rights under applicable privacy legislation, including the right to file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your privacy rights regarding cookies have been violated. We are committed to addressing any cookie-related concerns promptly and transparently.

You can exercise your rights by adjusting your browser settings, using our cookie consent tools, or contacting us directly. We provide clear instructions and support to help you manage your cookie preferences according to your comfort level and privacy needs.
