Cookie categories
🟢 Essential (always on)
These cookies are needed for the site's basic operation. Without them some features do not work (e.g., theme switching).
theme— theme choice;fpshq_consent— records your choice in the cookie banner.
🟡 Analytics (optional)
They help understand how users interact with the site, to improve it. Anonymous data, no personal identifiers.
- Web analytics of traffic and behavior;
- Data on visited pages, time on site, referral sources.
🔴 Marketing (we do NOT use)
FPSHQ has no retargeting, Meta/Google ad pixels or affiliate trackers. If a page has an affiliate link to a store — it is clearly marked and clicking is voluntary.
How to manage cookies
Via our banner
On your first visit you see a cookie banner with "Accept" and "Decline" buttons. Your choice is saved for 1 year. To change it — clear the site cookies and reload the page.
Via browser settings
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data;
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data;
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data;
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Block trackers globally
Install the Privacy Badger extension or use the DuckDuckGo browser — they block trackers by default.
What happens if you disable cookies
- All cookies: the site keeps working but cannot remember your theme; the cookie banner will show every time.
- Analytics only: the site works fully, we just do not see de-identified visit statistics.
Local Storage and Session Storage
We do not use Local Storage or Session Storage. We keep all settings only in cookies. It is easier to manage and more transparent.
