Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 September 2026
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. We use them to make JunkyCraft work and to remember your preferences. This policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
How we use cookies
We use essential and preference/functional cookies to sign you in, remember your settings and run core features. We do not use advertising cookies. With your consent (“Accept all”), we also use Google Analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. They are never set if you choose “Essential only”, and you can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It doesn't use cookies or identify you.

Managing cookies
When you first visit, we ask for your cookie choice via a banner, and you can change it at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. Essential cookies are always needed for the site to work. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working (for example staying signed in).

We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. Questions? Email support@junkycraft.com.
