Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser; browser storage (localStorage) works in a similar way. This page lists everything astent.games and the game website ancient.astent.games store on your device, and why.
1. Our approach
astent.games uses cookies and storage that are strictly necessary for the site to work or that remember a choice you made. In addition, and only with your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 cookies to measure visits. We use no advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking cookies.
Analytics cookies are set only after you click “Accept all” or switch on analytics in the settings; until then Google Analytics is not loaded at all. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of every page.

ancient.astent.games (game website)
The Ancient Online: Remastered website links its cookie banner to this policy and stores the items below. As on astent.games, Google Analytics is loaded only after you accept analytics in the banner; the Cloudflare cookies listed above may also be set there.
The payment page (ancient.astent.games/pay), which you open from the in-game Item Shop, uses a short-lived payment session cookie and PayTR’s secure payment frame. Inside that frame, PayTR’s own privacy and cookie policy applies.
