Privacy Policy
What we store
To save your place in the story, this site stores the following in a database linked to your session:
- A randomly generated session identifier
- The character name and pronouns you choose during setup
- Your progress through the story (current node, choices made, flags set)
No email address, real name, or payment information is collected at this stage. The character name you enter is used only for personalising the story text — it does not need to be your real name.
Cookies
This site sets three strictly necessary cookies:
- dwg_session — your session identifier, expires after 30 days of inactivity
- dwg_age_confirmed — records that you have confirmed you are 18 or older, expires after 1 year
- dwg_intro_done — records that you have completed the name and pronoun setup, expires after 1 year
These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function. No advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies are used.
How long we keep it
Session data is automatically deleted 30 days after your last visit. You can delete your data at any time from within the game using the Delete my data link in the footer. This permanently removes all stored information associated with your session.
Sharing
Your data is not shared with, sold to, or processed by any third party, except as necessary to operate the site (database hosting). No data is used for advertising purposes.
Future changes
A paid membership option may be added in future. If that happens, an email address will be required to create an account, and this policy will be updated before any such feature goes live.
