BALLISTIKCookie policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
Cookies are small files a website keeps in your browser. This page lists the cookies ballistik.io uses, what each one is for and how long it lasts. It applies to the web version only: the iOS and Android apps use no cookies for analytics or advertising. For everything else we collect, see the privacy policy.
Your choice
The first time you open the game, a banner asks you to choose:
- Necessary only: only the cookies the game needs to work. Google Analytics stays cookieless and ads are not personalised.
- Accept all: also analytics cookies, and ads personalised by Google.
Until you choose, the game behaves as "Necessary only". You can change your choice at any time with the Cookies link on the start screen or in Settings. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google may also show its own consent message for ads.
Necessary cookies
Always on: without them the game can't keep your profile or remember your choice.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
bk_guest |
Ballistik | Remembers which guest profile this browser plays as, so you get the same guest back after local storage is cleared. It is not readable by scripts on the page (HttpOnly). | 400 days |
bk_consent |
Ballistik | Remembers your cookie choice ("Necessary only" or "Accept all"). | 400 days |
The game also keeps your sign-in token and settings (language, sound, camera, server region) in your browser's local storage. These are not cookies and are never sent to other sites. Clearing them signs you out; it doesn't delete your account.
Analytics cookies
Only with "Accept all".
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* |
Google Analytics 4 | Tell visits apart so we can count how the game is used, for example which modes are played. Advertising features and Google signals are off, and we never send your username, email or other personal data. | Up to 2 years |
With "Necessary only", Google Analytics sets no cookies and sends only cookieless measurements. Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits and page speed, never uses cookies.
Advertising cookies
The web game shows ads from Google AdSense (H5 Games Ads): an optional video you can watch for a reward, and now and then a short ad when you leave the result
screen, never during a match. Google sets and reads its own cookies, for example __gads, __gpi and __eoi on ballistik.io and others on Google's
domains, for up to 13 months.
- With "Accept all", Google may use them to personalise ads to your interests.
- With "Necessary only", ads are not personalised. Google may still use cookies to limit how often you see an ad, to stop fraud and to count ads in total.
Google's own policies explain these cookies: policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can turn off ad personalisation for your Google account at adssettings.google.com.
Blocking or deleting cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block bk_guest or clear the site's data while playing as a guest, the game can't find your guest
profile again; create an account to keep your progress safe.
Changes
If we add or change cookies, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
