MBC Game Studio | Cookie & Similar Technologies Policy

This policy applies to

and is issued by MBC Game Studio Limited, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ("we", "us", "our"). We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. Where the site, or any of the technologies described below, is operated on our behalf by a platform partner or other vendor, we remain the controller.

How we use the personal data collected through these technologies, including who we share it with, where it is stored, whether it is transferred to another country, and the rights you have over it, is explained in our Privacy Policy.

This site uses cookies and a few similar technologies — small pieces of data stored on your device. Some are essential and keep the site running. The rest are optional: they remember your choices, help us see what’s working, and — only if you allow it — let us show you relevant things about the game.

You’re in control of the optional ones. Nothing optional runs until you switch it on, and you can change your mind at any time.

1. Your choices

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you:

Accept all — turn on every category.
Reject all — keep only the essentials. This is one click, exactly as easy as accepting.
Manage choices — decide category by category.

Turning optional cookies off never blocks your access to the site. You can reopen your choices any time using Cookie Settings on each website.

Our consent banner and preference centre are powered by OneTrust https://www.onetrust.com/, which also records the choice you make so we can honour it.

2. The kinds of cookies we use

There are up to five broad categories of cookies and tracking technologies used on the website.

The category names used below are the same names shown in the Cookie Settings preference centre, so the choices you make there match what is described here.

A full and current list of the individual cookies and similar technologies in each category—including who sets them, what they are used for, and how long they last—is published in the Cookie Settings preference centre and is generated by OneTrust from our cookie register.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Always on

These cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. They handle tasks like setting cookie consent and preferences, logging in, filling forms, recalling optimal page layout, sizing, and viewing preferences, identifying you as being logged into our website, and detecting and preventing fraud. While you can set your browser to block them, some website features will not work if you do.

3.2 Performance

OFF UNTIL YOU ALLOW IT

These technologies help us understand how the website is used and how our campaigns perform, so we can measure results and improve the site. On this website, performance measurement is carried out server-side — it sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. If you allow this category, measurement data about your visit is shared with our measurement partners; if you turn it off, it is not collected or shared for these purposes. The partners who receive this data, and how it is handled, are listed in our Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

OFF UNTIL YOU ALLOW IT

These cookies help make our website work better and personalize your experience based on how you use it. For example, they permit the testing of different versions of the website, track site editions, remember previous search information, and store the language and region detected from your browser settings so the site displays correctly when you return.

3.3 Functional Cookies
Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Lifespan
__Host-site-locale	https://1001threadsofmizan.com	Stores the visitor's selected language and region so subsequent pages are served in the right localisation	HTTP cookie	12 months

3.4 Targeting Cookies & Technologies

Off until you allow it

These first-party technologies help us attribute your visit to the campaign that brought you and connect your activity to a signup, so we can measure and improve our marketing. They are stored in your browser's local storage. None is written unless you allow this category. For example, after visiting this site you may see an advertisement for the game while you are browsing social media. If you allow this category, we also share advertising and conversion data with our marketing partners, to measure and deliver our campaigns; the partners who receive this data are listed in our Privacy Policy. If you turn it off, that sharing does not happen.

3.4 Targeting Cookies & Technologies
Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Lifespan
marketing_first_touch_v1	https://1001threadsofmizan.com	Records the campaign parameters present when a visitor first arrives, so a later signup can be attributed to the campaign that brought them.	Local storage	Until cleared
marketing_anonymous_identity_v4	https://1001threadsofmizan.com	Holds the pseudonymous identifier that associates a visitor's events with one another	Local storage	12 months
marketing_activation_identity_v1	https://1001threadsofmizan.com	Holds the association between a visitor and their signup — a one-way hashed value and a matching proof. Written only after a signup completes	Local storage	12 months

3.5 Social Media Cookies

Off until you allow it

We embed videos from YouTube behind a click-to-play wrapper. When a page loads, we show only a placeholder image. YouTube is not contacted and nothing is stored on your device. Only when you click to play does YouTube load, and Google may then set cookies and similar technologies to support playback and its own measurement. These are set by Google and scoped to the video player, not to our site. You can avoid them entirely by not playing embedded videos.

3.5 Social Media Cookies
Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Lifespan
YouTube video embeds	Google (youtube-nocookie.com)	Sets cookies/storage only when you play an embedded video, to support playback and Google's measurement; scoped to the player	Embedded content (third-party cookies on play)	Set by Google on play; see Google's cookie disclosures

4.3 Targeting Cookies & Technologies

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the Studio website so we can measure and improve our marketing. Google does not load and these cookies are not written unless you allow this category.

5. Changing your mind

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it, using Cookie Settings on any page. Withdrawing stops those technologies going forward; it doesn't undo what happened before you withdrew. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings, though that's less precise and may affect how the site works.

6. We keep a record

Through OneTrust, we record the choices you make — including which version of this notice you saw and when — so your choices can be honoured and demonstrated.

7. Updates

We update this policy whenever the technologies we use change. Because the published list is generated by OneTrust from our internal register, it reflects the current state of the site rather than a periodic snapshot.
