1. About this Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how SiriusMC Networks ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on siriusmc.net (the "Site"), and the choices you have. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. The Site currently only uses strictly necessary cookies, which do not require your consent under PECR.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They let the site recognise your browser, remember preferences, and gather limited information about how the site is used. We also use related technologies such as local storage and session storage for similar purposes; references to "cookies" in this Policy include these technologies.
3. Cookies we use
The Site only uses strictly necessary cookies and storage. These are required for the Site to function. Without them you cannot log in or keep a secure session. PECR exempts strictly necessary cookies from the consent requirement.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or behavioural-tracking cookies. If that changes in the future, we will update this Policy and add a consent mechanism before any non-essential cookies are set.
4. Specific cookies set
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| appSession | SiriusMC (Auth0 SDK) | Maintains your authenticated session. | Session / up to 7 days |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot-management; protects the Site from automated abuse. | 30 minutes |
We treat __cf_bm as strictly necessary because it is essential for protecting the Site from automated abuse, which we consider part of providing the service you have requested.
Some embedded third-party features (for example, Discord widgets and error monitoring via Sentry) may also set their own cookies or use local storage when the relevant code runs. See Section 6.
5. How to manage cookies
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, there is no on-site cookie banner and nothing to opt into. You can still control cookies in your browser:
- All major browsers let you block or delete cookies, including third-party cookies. See your browser's help pages for instructions.
- Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the Site. For example, you won't stay logged in.

7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when our cookie usage changes or for legal reasons. The version and effective date at the top reflect the latest revision. Material changes will be notified via the Site.
