01 Strictly necessary cookies
ace_session: keeps you signed in after Steam sign-in (HTTP-only, up to 14 days).
ace_locale: remembers the language you chose (1 year).
ace_admin_gate: security cookie for staff pages only.
These are required for the service you ask for, so they do not need consent.
02 Local storage
ace-cookie-consent-v1 stores your cookie choice. Other keys store interface preferences, such as sound alerts and whether CS2 was already launched for a match (ace-autoconnect-<lobby>). They stay in your browser and are not sent to us.
03 Payment checkout (Paddle)
When you open the checkout, Paddle loads Paddle.js and may set its own cookies to process the payment securely and prevent fraud. Paddle is responsible for those cookies; see paddle.com/legal/privacy.
04 Analytics and marketing
A.C.E does not currently set analytics or marketing cookies. If that changes, we will ask for your consent first and list them here.
05 Your choices
You can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings in the footer, and you can delete cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out.
