1. What this Cookie Policy covers
This Cookie Policy applies to the Guild Wars® Reforged website. Cookies are small text files stored on a device by a browser. Similar technologies can include local storage or session storage used by a page. This page describes storage that may be needed for the website to work as shown: to display pages, support contact forms, load fonts, and remember simple display states.
The website presents gameplay topics, player notes, campaigns, and contact forms. It is an independent fan website, not a shop, official game database, or product catalogue. It does not use cookies to confirm official game support, a paid membership, a price, or an official relationship with ArenaNet. Submitting a form remains a request only.
This Cookie Policy is also written so advertising platforms, including Google Ads, can see a clear destination explanation of cookies and similar technologies. Thin cookie pages that only say “we use cookies” are not enough for that purpose. This page describes the current site, including what is not installed.
This Cookie Policy should be read with the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. Those pages explain how messages are handled and how website information should be read. Guild Wars® Reforged can be contacted at Princess of Wales Terrace, Parkview, Randburg, 2132, South Africa, by telephone at +27 11 483 2841, or by email at [email protected].
2. How to ask a cookie question
Questions about cookies on this website can be sent through the contact page, by phone, or by email using the details above. A cookie question is not official game support. If you also want a guide topic discussed, say so clearly in the same message.
This page does not invent a named advertising-technology vendor list, because this website does not currently describe an installed advertising pixel, remarketing tag, or analytics property. If those tools are added later, this Cookie Policy should name the relevant category and should be updated.
3. Types of cookies and similar storage
Strictly necessary storage may be used to load pages, keep a layout working, or allow a form to show a validation or confirmation message in the browser. This kind of storage is used to operate the site rather than to build an advertising profile. Examples include ordinary session behaviour while a contact form is open, and scripts that display a “message sent” note after a valid submission.
Preference storage may be used to remember a basic display choice if the website needs it, such as a simple interface state. The current site does not describe a separate cookie banner with optional marketing categories unless that banner is actually present on the page.
Analytics cookies are not claimed on this page. This policy does not say that Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, or similar tools are active unless those tools are actually installed.
Advertising cookies are not claimed as installed by Guild Wars® Reforged on these pages. If you arrive from Google Ads, the advertising platform may process a click according to Google’s own terms. That is different from this website placing its own advertising cookie. Campaign parameters in a URL, such as a click identifier, can appear in the address bar after an ad click. Those parameters may be processed by the browser, the host, or the advertising platform. This website does not treat a click identifier as a official support ticket.
This policy does not claim that social-media tracking pixels are active unless those tools are actually installed. Social icons are links to public homepages. Following a link may allow that network to set its own cookies.
4. Summary table
The table below is a plain-language summary of storage that may appear when someone uses this website. Invented cookie names and invented expiry days are not listed. If a named advertising or analytics cookie is added later, this table will be updated.
| Category | Purpose on this website | Typical duration | Currently claimed as installed by Guild Wars® Reforged? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary / session | Load pages, keep layout working, show form validation or a “message sent” note | Usually until the browser session ends | May be used for ordinary page and form behaviour |
| Preference | Remember a simple display state if the page needs it | Session or until deleted | Only if the page actually needs it; no marketing banner is described unless one is shown |
| Google Fonts request | Display headings and body text as designed | According to Google’s own font service | The pages request fonts from Google Fonts when opened |
| Analytics cookies | Measure visits in a named analytics property | Not listed here | No — not claimed unless actually installed |
| Advertising / remarketing cookies placed by this site | Build an advertising profile on this domain | Not listed here | No — not claimed unless actually installed |
| Shopping-cart or login cookies | Hold a basket, saved card or customer account | Not applicable | No — those features are not on the site |
5. Google Fonts and page scripts
Pages request fonts from Google Fonts so headings and body text can display as designed. That request is made by the browser when a page is opened. Google may process technical information associated with that request according to Google’s own policies. Guild Wars® Reforged does not use that font request as a shop, a price tool, or a personal player profile. If you block third-party font requests, the pages may still work with the browser’s default fonts.
Pages also load stylesheets, icons, and scripts that are needed to display the layout. This can include Bootstrap layout files, icon fonts, animation scripts, a slider script used on the Guides page, and a lightbox used for gallery images. Those files are used to show pages, not to confirm official game support.
A preloader and a scroll-to-top control are part of the visible page behaviour. They may rely on ordinary browser session behaviour while the page is open. They are not used to hold a live membership slot.
6. Forms, feedback messages and cookies
The site currently shows game information and contact forms. Form confirmation messages are displayed in the page after a valid submission. That confirmation means the request was submitted through the website process. It does not mean official game support has been opened.
Photographs of landscapes on the site are used to illustrate game topics. They are not presented as photographs of fan-site staff, as official Guild Wars® screenshots, or as evidence that a named setting is an in-game location owned by this website. Cookies are not used to assign those images to a personal profile.
There is no customer login cookie, no shopping-cart cookie, and no stored payment-method cookie, because those features are not part of the current site. There is no cookie-based personalised price.
If additional tracking, analytics, marketing, or consent tools are added later, this Cookie Policy should be updated so it matches the tools that are actually in use. Until then, do not assume those tools exist.
A contact message is sent through a form. The form may use ordinary browser behavior to keep the page working while you type, to check required fields, and to show a confirmation message after a valid submission. That confirmation means the request was submitted. It does not mean official game support has been opened.
Cookies are not used by this website to display a personal offer, to hold a membership status, to show a customer portal, or to confirm official game support. Optional email updates, if requested through a form, are a separate request for notes. They are not created by an advertising cookie profile described on this page.
If you contact Guild Wars® Reforged through the contact form, that communication is not a cookie. It is a direct message through a published contact channel. This Cookie Policy still applies to later visits to the website.
A visitor may mention a campaign, a profession, or a guide topic in a contact message. That text is part of the message, not a cookie. Cookies are not used to remember which page a visitor looked at, to create a favourite-topic profile, or to display a personalised offer.
7. Google Ads landing pages
This website may be used as a landing page for Google Ads or similar search advertising. When a visitor arrives from an advertisement, the destination page should match the advertised topic: game information and a request form. Cookies on this site are not used to hide that topic behind a login or a payment wall.
Google, as an advertising platform, may use cookies or similar identifiers on Google’s own properties according to Google’s policies. This Cookie Policy describes this independent fan website. It does not rewrite Google’s policies. If conversion, remarketing, or analytics tags are added later, this page must be updated before those tools are treated as current.
Guild Wars® Reforged does not use cookies to claim licensed franchise, award-winning, or guaranteed-result status, because those claims are not published on the site.
8. How long storage may remain
Session storage usually lasts until the browser session ends. Persistent cookies or similar files, if used, remain until they expire or until they are removed through browser settings. This page does not invent specific expiry times that are not set by the website.
The length of time a file remains can depend on the browser, device settings, and whether the storage is session-based or persistent. Clearing browsing data, using a private browsing mode, or blocking cookies can shorten or prevent storage. Guild Wars® Reforged does not operate a logged-in cookie dashboard on this website because the site does not provide a customer account area.
If a cookie is needed only while a page is open, it may disappear when the tab or browser is closed. If a cookie is persistent, it may remain until expiry or deletion. This page does not list invented cookie names or invented expiry days that are not published by the site.
Hosting logs, which are not cookies, may still record ordinary technical requests as described in the Privacy Policy. Logs and cookies are different tools.
9. How to manage cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and similar storage. If you block all cookies, some page or form functions may not work as intended. Browser settings are controlled by the browser you use, not by a separate account on this website.
You can usually review cookie settings in the browser menu, delete stored files, or block third-party cookies. The exact labels differ between browsers. This policy does not give step-by-step instructions for every browser version. If a form no longer shows a confirmation message after cookies are blocked, that can be a result of the browser setting rather than a service problem.
This website does not describe a separate marketing-cookie opt-in unless a consent banner is actually present. Do not assume that optional advertising categories exist if they are not shown on the page. If a consent banner is added later, this Cookie Policy should explain the categories shown on that banner.
10. Changes and questions
Photographs on the site include castles, forests, mountains, ruins, deserts and other atmospheric landscapes. Cookies are not used to treat those images as photos of fan-site staff, as official Guild Wars® screenshots, or as proof of an endorsement. Social icons link to public network homepages. If you follow those links, the relevant network may set its own cookies according to its own policy. That processing is not operated as an ArenaNet partnership tool.
The website is not directed at children. Cookies and similar storage described here are used to operate the public pages, not to offer a child-specific service. A parent or guardian who has a question about a visit from a child’s device can contact Guild Wars® Reforged using the details on this page.
This Cookie Policy may change if the website’s technical storage, forms, advertising tags, fonts, or published contact details change. The current version is the text on this page. The effective date and last-updated date appear at the top of this notice. Continued use of the website after an update means the published version applies to later visits.
For questions about this cookie information, use the contact page, call +27 11 483 2841, or email [email protected]. Postal questions may be sent to Princess of Wales Terrace, Parkview, Randburg, 2132, South Africa. Privacy questions that go beyond cookies can also be read on the Privacy Policy page. Website use limits are described on the Terms of Use page.
Cookies on this website are not used to display prices, discounts, or a checkout total. They are not used to sort game topics by a commercial score. They are not used to show “available now”, same-day claims, or other live commercial claims. Those features are not part of this fan website as currently published. If the question is about a form you already sent, include the email address used in the form and the approximate date. That helps the request be identified. It does not create extra cookie categories.
