Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website can store in your browser. Comparable technologies include local storage, session storage, extension storage, browser identifiers and security tokens. They can be used to keep a session active, remember preferences, protect a service against abuse or provide product features.

SteamHelper may use strictly necessary cookies or comparable technologies for session integrity, authentication redirects, security, bot protection, language preferences, load balancing and abuse prevention. These technologies are necessary to provide the service you request and to keep the product secure.

We currently do not use marketing cookies, behavioral advertising cookies or cross-site advertising trackers on steamhelper.app. If this changes in the future and consent is required, we will ask for consent before using the relevant technology.

The SteamHelper extension uses browser.storage.local to store settings, authentication state, cached profile information, optional Steam Web API key state, feature toggles and other data needed by the extension. This is not the same as a website cookie. It is stored by the browser for the extension and can be removed by signing out, clearing extension data or uninstalling the extension.

Some page-level preferences may be mirrored into Steam page localStorage so scripts running inside the Steam page can apply your settings without receiving access to protected extension storage. These mirrored values are limited to product settings and do not include the backend session token or optional Steam Web API key.

Steam sets its own cookies on steamcommunity.com and related domains. Those cookies are controlled by Steam and are subject to Valve's policies. With your browser permission, the SteamHelper extension may read selected Steam cookies in the extension background context where a user-facing feature requires access to your Steam session, for example profile lookup, profile privacy utilities, inventory requests or gift trade-offer checks.

SteamHelper does not use Steam cookies to collect your Steam password. SteamHelper does not ask you to type your Steam password into our website or extension.

Infrastructure providers may use strictly necessary cookies or comparable signals to route traffic, defend against attacks, detect automated abuse, apply rate limits and keep the service available. These technologies are used for security and service operation, not for behavioral advertising.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can clear SteamHelper extension storage by signing out where available, clearing extension data in your browser or uninstalling the extension. Blocking strictly necessary cookies or deleting extension storage may prevent sign-in, settings, alerts or other features from working correctly.

We may update this Cookie Policy when SteamHelper changes or when our infrastructure changes. Questions about cookies or storage can be sent to [email protected] or [email protected].
