Swtorista.com does not ask for any personal identifying information in order to access this website – there is no log in system, communication system, or player-specific tracking on this site. Swtorista.com does utilize Google Analytics through the use of cookies to analyze traffic on this website to better understand what types of guides to create for players. We do not share information with advertisers or any other third parties except the ones listed below, and even then, since we do not collect any data on our site we can not share anything beyond what they collect passively.

Dark Mode: If you click the dark mode button it will save a variable to your localStorage with javascript so it can remember your preference. If you don’t want this saved, simply do not click the button, or if you have already clicked it, Clear Browsing Data on your browser.

“Back Button” on Database Pages: If you are browsing the armor, pets, weapons, or other database section of the site, if you visit a Swtorista.com page then another Swtorista.com page it may display a “back” button for you, based on your document referrer and current window location. Translation: There’s a back button that lets you go back based on where you came from. This data isn’t saved past your last back button and is only saved if your last page was a swtorista.com link so it knows where to send you back to.

Amazon Ads: There may be Amazon ads on the bottom of some articles that show you products you may be interested in – though I have chosen to have it show specific products I’ve picked, related to this site. To opt-out of ads based on your preferences on amazon, you must go to your Amazon account preferences here: https://www.amazon.com/adprefs/ – you may need to click this on every browser/device you use, and it will reset if you clear your cookies. You will still see the products I’ve picked to showcase even if you opt-out of preference-based ads.

Google Analytics: I use analytics to see which pages are most popular and which are not really being used by players. By accessing the Website, you consent to the collection and use of information by Google Analytics. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. We do not transfer personal information to anyone. However, if you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can use the google settings page here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout – you may need to click this on every browser/device you use.
