Cookie Notice
Last Updated: June 8, 2026
Uncrowned Empire uses cookies and similar technologies to operate our websites, protect accounts, remember preferences, understand public visitor traffic, support limited monetization, and improve the user experience.
This Cookie Notice applies to websites and community platforms operated by Uncrowned Empire, LLC, including Uncrowned Gaming, Uncrowned Addiction, Uncrowned Armory, Uncrowned Empire, and any other Uncrowned Empire website or community.
Some cookies are essential for our sites to function. Others, such as analytics, advertising, affiliate, or embedded-content cookies, may be optional depending on your location, browser settings, user status, site configuration, and choices in our cookie consent bar.
Where required, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies. You can manage or change your cookie choices through our cookie consent bar or your browser settings.
For broader privacy details, please see our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include scripts, pixels, local storage, embedded content, tracking links, and other tools used to provide site features, security, analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, or email delivery information.
Some cookies are essential for a site to work. Others may be used by third-party services when you visit as a guest, click outbound links, view embedded content, or interact with external platforms.
Essential Site Cookies
Some cookies are required for basic site functionality.
Uncrowned Empire uses Invision Community to manage core community features such as:
Login sessions
Account access
Security checks
User preferences
Theme or display settings
Navigation
Posting, commenting, and community features
Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in, staying logged in, saving preferences, posting, commenting, or using account features.
Security and Spam Prevention
We may use security tools to protect our sites from bots, spam, fraud, abuse, and automated attacks.
These may include:
These services may process technical information such as browser details, device information, IP address, interaction signals, or similar metadata to help determine whether activity appears legitimate.
Security and spam-prevention tools may be required for certain site functions, such as registration, login protection, contact forms, or posting protections.
Analytics Cookies and Scripts
Uncrowned Empire may use Metricool for analytics and reporting related to guest and unregistered visitor traffic.
Metricool helps us understand public site activity, including page views, traffic sources, visitor trends, and general usage patterns. This helps us improve our content, community structure, and site performance.
Metricool tracking is generally placed through guest-only site placements. Registered users who are logged into their accounts are not served our standard third-party analytics scripts through these guest-only placements where that member experience is configured.
Metricool may use cookies, scripts, or similar technologies depending on the user’s browser, settings, consent choices, and interaction with the site. Metricool’s own policies may also apply where its services are loaded.
Advertising Cookies
Uncrowned Empire websites may use Google AdSense or similar advertising services to display ads to guests and unregistered visitors.
These advertising services may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to personalize, measure, or deliver ads according to their own policies.
Logged-in registered users do not see our standard third-party display ads on Uncrowned Empire sites where that ad-free member experience is configured. Some sites, sections, or placements may use different ad settings depending on their setup.
Users can manage or opt out of personalized Google ads through Google’s ad settings.
Affiliate Link Tracking
Uncrowned Empire websites may use Sovrn Commerce to automatically convert certain eligible outbound retail or product links into affiliate links for guests and unregistered visitors.
When a supported link is clicked, Sovrn or related services may use cookies or similar technologies to track the click, referral, or qualifying purchase. This does not change the price you pay.
Logged-in registered users are generally not served our standard Sovrn Commerce affiliate-link conversion system where that member experience is configured.
Our affiliate systems are not intended to override or replace affiliate links that users have already posted.
Some older links may still use legacy affiliate services such as Geniuslink.
Email Tracking and Delivery
Uncrowned Empire may use SendGrid to send transactional emails such as password resets, account notifications, followed-content alerts, and administrative messages.
Some emails may include basic tracking pixels or technical signals used to confirm delivery status, bounces, or message performance. These are not used by Uncrowned Empire for behavioral advertising or user profiling.
Users can manage many email preferences through their account settings.
Embedded Content and External Platforms
Pages on Uncrowned Empire websites may include embedded content from third-party platforms, such as videos, social media posts, streams, widgets, maps, or external tools.
Embedded content may behave as if you visited the third-party website directly. These third parties may use their own cookies, tracking technologies, privacy policies, and account systems.
Uncrowned Empire does not control cookies or tracking used by third-party embedded content.
Registered Users and Guest Experience
Uncrowned Empire may give logged-in registered users a cleaner experience than guests, depending on the site and configuration.
Where configured, logged-in registered users are not served our standard:
Third-party display ads
Metricool guest analytics placements
Sovrn Commerce automatic affiliate-link conversion
Some essential cookies, security checks, account cookies, community sponsor placements, embedded content, or third-party services may still apply depending on how the site is used.
Creating an account is free where registration is available.
Consent Choices
Depending on your location, browser settings, and available site controls, our cookie consent bar may allow you to accept, reject, or manage certain non-essential cookies.
Essential cookies needed for login, security, account access, preferences, and basic site operation may still be used because they are required for the site to function.
If you clear your browser cookies, use a different device, use a different browser, or browse in private/incognito mode, you may need to set your cookie choices again.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookie choices through our cookie consent bar where available.
Most browsers also allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies through browser settings. You can also use privacy tools, tracker blockers, or ad blockers if desired.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may interfere with logging in, staying logged in, saving preferences, posting, commenting, or accessing account features.
Third-Party Policies
Some cookies and similar technologies are provided by third-party services. Those services may have their own privacy policies, cookie policies, settings, or opt-out tools.
This may include services such as:
Invision Community
Cloudflare Turnstile
Google reCAPTCHA
Google AdSense
Metricool
Sovrn Commerce
Geniuslink
SendGrid
Embedded video, social media, or external content providers
When you interact with third-party services, their own policies may apply.

When significant changes are made, we may update the posted notice date or provide additional notice where appropriate.
