Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy: this page explains what cookies are, which ones Xbox Gamertag Finder uses, and how you can control them.

Cookie Policy: What Are Cookies?
Cookie Policy pages exist because cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. This Cookie Policy is here so you understand exactly what that means in the context of this website. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit — like your preferences or how you interact with the page — so the site can function correctly on your next visit.
Cookies themselves don't contain personal information like your name or email. On Xbox Gamertag Finder, cookies are used narrowly, mainly to keep the site running smoothly and to understand overall usage patterns. This Cookie Policy only covers cookies set by this website — it does not cover cookies set by Xbox Live, the Xbox app, or any other Microsoft product.
Why This Policy Exists
Most modern data-protection laws — including GDPR in the EU and similar rules elsewhere — require websites to disclose what cookies they use and give visitors a way to understand and manage them. This page is our way of meeting that requirement transparently, in plain language, rather than burying the details in dense legal text.
We keep our own cookie usage minimal. Xbox Gamertag Finder doesn't need to track you to provide its core service — searching and finding Xbox profiles — so the cookies we set are limited to running the site, security and understanding how it's used in aggregate. Third-party advertising partners, such as Google, may use their own cookies to show ads, as described under Third-Party Cookies below.
Cookie Policy: Cookies We Use
This Cookie Policy covers the following categories of cookies used on this site:
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for basic site functionality, like loading tool results correctly | Session |
| Consent | Our cookie banner stores a cookie named cookieyes-consent that remembers the choices you made, so we do not ask you again on every page | Up to 1 year |
| Security | Cloudflare may set short-lived cookies to protect the site and its tools from bots and abuse | Short-lived |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Remembers display settings you've chosen, if any | Up to 1 year |
| Advertising | Used by third-party ad networks (e.g. Google AdSense) to serve and measure ads | Up to 2 years |
Cookie Policy: Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we use: Google Analytics (visitor statistics), Cloudflare (security and performance), CookieYes (our cookie consent banner) and Google AdSense (advertising). We don't control these cookies directly, and their use is governed by the third party's own policy. You can review Google's cookie policy and opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We use third-party advertising companies (like Google AdSense) to serve ads when you visit our website. Google uses cookies (such as the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We don't sell any data collected through cookies. If our use of third-party tools changes in the future, this section of our cookie policy will be updated to reflect that.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Our cookie banner. When you first visit the site, a banner lets you choose Accept All, Reject All, or Customise your choices by category. For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage is off by default until you give consent. For visitors elsewhere, Google Analytics may set its cookies when you first visit. Your choice is stored in the cookieyes-consent cookie, and you can change it at any time with the cookie settings button that stays at the bottom-left of the page.
Your browser settings. Most browsers also let you control cookies through their settings — you can usually block, delete, or get notified before a cookie is set. Keep in mind that disabling essential cookies may affect how well some tools on this site function.
