Privacy and Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026

This policy explains what information may be processed when you use dragoncompanion.com, why it is used, which outside services are involved, and the choices available to you.

Summary: you can use the guide without creating an account. Route progress and sheet preferences are stored in your own browser. Hosting, analytics, advertising, and embedded service providers may process technical usage information as described below.

Information processed

Information you provide

If you email support or post a report in the linked community, the applicable email or community provider processes the message, account details you choose to share, and any attachments. Do not include passwords or sensitive account information in a route report.

Technical and usage information

Hosting and measurement services may receive information normally sent by a browser, including IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, event timestamps, and diagnostic data. Dragon Companion uses this information to deliver the site, understand aggregate usage, maintain security, and diagnose errors.

Local browser storage

The interactive map saves the current route step and playback speed under the browser storage keys savedStep and playSpeed. The route sheet saves the chosen column density under sheetDensity. These values remain on your device and allow the same browser to restore your position or preference. They are not game account data and are not synchronized between devices.

You can remove these values by using the map's Reset control, changing the sheet setting, or clearing site data in your browser. Private-browsing sessions may discard them automatically.

Analytics and performance services

The site uses Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics/Insights to understand page usage and technical performance. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and may process the technical information described above. Their processing is governed by their own policies.

Advertising and Google cookies

Dragon Companion uses or may use Google AdSense to display advertising on content pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Depending on your region, consent choices, and Google's settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Advertising providers may process cookie identifiers, IP address, device information, general location, ad interactions, and page context for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and reporting.

If additional third-party advertising vendors are enabled, their identities and controls will be disclosed through the site's consent interface or an update to this policy.

External services and links

The site loads or links to services operated by other companies, including Google Fonts, Tailwind CSS, Ko-fi, Discord, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Vercel. Loading an embedded script or choosing an external link may allow that provider to receive technical request data. Once you leave Dragon Companion, the destination's privacy terms apply.

Retention, sharing, and security

Local route preferences remain until you or the browser removes them. Service providers retain analytics, logs, messages, or advertising information according to their configured retention periods and policies. Dragon Companion does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers needed to operate the site, comply with law, protect users or the site, or complete a business transfer.

Reasonable technical measures are used to protect the site, but no Internet service can guarantee absolute security. Email should not be used to send passwords, payment card details, or other highly sensitive information.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. Browser controls, the advertising links above, and provider-specific privacy tools offer direct ways to exercise common choices.

For a privacy request concerning information controlled by Dragon Companion, email support@dragoncompanion.com. The request may need enough information to identify the relevant communication or record. For data controlled by Google, Vercel, Ko-fi, or Discord, contact that provider directly.

Children and policy changes

The site is a general gaming reference and is not directed to children under the age required to consent to data processing in their country. Dragon Companion does not knowingly request personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted personal information can contact support to request review and deletion.

This policy may change when site features, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top will be revised when material changes are published.
