What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as your browser's local storage. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.

This policy explains which cookies themarshallmafia.com uses, why, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Strictly necessary

These are needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. They can't be switched off, and they don't require your consent.

• tmm_cookie_consent (local storage, first party) — remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies. Kept until you change your choice or clear your browser storage.
• Security and bot-protection cookies set by our host, Vercel (for example _vcrcs), only when a visit needs to be checked for automated abuse. Short-lived.

Analytics (only with your consent)

If you choose "accept", we load Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit and which parts of the site they use. We have switched off Google signals and ad personalisation, and we don't use Analytics data for advertising.

• _ga (first party, Google) — distinguishes visitors. Expires after 2 years.
• _ga_<container-id> (first party, Google) — keeps session state. Expires after 2 years.

If you reject, or never choose, Google Analytics is not loaded and these cookies are not set.

We also use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless: it does not store anything on your device and only produces aggregated, anonymous page-view counts.

Other websites we link to

When you click "Collect Now" you are taken to a checkout page hosted by Stripe (buy.stripe.com). Stripe sets its own cookies there, mainly to prevent fraud, under Stripe's cookie policy.

Links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, Deezer, YouTube, Linktree and Google Forms take you to those services, which set their own cookies under their own policies. Nothing from them is loaded on our site until you click.

Your choice

You can accept or reject analytics cookies in the banner when you first visit, and change your mind at any time using the buttons at the bottom of this page. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and rejecting has no effect on your ability to use the site or buy the game.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may mean we can't remember your choice.

UK rules

We follow the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the UK GDPR.

Since February 2026 UK law allows some first-party statistics cookies to be set without consent, provided you are told about them and can object. Because Google Analytics is provided by a third party, we still ask for your consent before using it.

Changes and contact

We'll update this policy if the cookies we use change; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions? Email info@themarshallmafia.com.
