EnglishHow Melvor Idle Handles Your Account and Privacy
Updated
Melvor Idle uses cookies for four account-related jobs — authentication, login status, security, and advertising — and uses Google Analytics to measure how the site is used. The privacy policy covering this is effective as of August 3, 2020. If you want to know what happens to your data when you sign in, or what you can control, the details below come from the site's own privacy policy and login page.
What the Privacy Policy Covers
The policy applies to melvoridle.com and describes what information is collected through the site, how it is used, and how it is disclosed. It is published by Malcs, identified in the policy as the owner of the site.
Cookies: What They Do
The policy lists five purposes for cookies. Each maps to a concrete function:
| Purpose | What it does |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Identifies you when you visit and navigate the site |
| Status | Determines whether you are logged in |
| Security | Protects accounts, including preventing fraudulent use of login credentials, and protects the site and services generally |
| Advertising | Displays advertisements relevant to you |
| Analysis | Analyzes use and performance of the site and services |
The policy also distinguishes two cookie types:
- Persistent cookies — stored by the browser and remain valid until their set expiry date, unless you delete them first.
- Session cookies — expire at the end of your session, when the browser is closed.
One point worth noting: cookies typically do not contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information stored about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics to analyze how the website is used. According to the policy, Google Analytics gathers information about website use. This falls under the "analysis" cookie purpose above.
Signing In and Account Access
The login page shows several ways to access the game:
- Sign in with an account, or sign in with a linked provider
- Register a new account, or sign up with a linked provider
- Password recovery via a "Forgot Password?" option
- A "Remember your password?" option with a "Login now" link
The page also lists access levels: Base Game, Test Server, Test Server (DESKTOP), and Test Server (MOBILE), plus a Logout option. A debug log link is present as well.
If Sign-In Fails
The login page carries a notice that PlayFab may experience connection issues, and that you may not be able to sign in during that time. If you cannot log in, this is a stated possible cause rather than a problem with your credentials. The page also provides a "Clear App Cache" option, which is relevant when stale local data interferes with loading or login.
Language Options
The interface offers: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Français, Deutsch, Português, Português-Brasil, Italiano, 한국어, 日本語, Español-España, Pусский, and Türkçe.
Practical Takeaways
- Cookie consent and control: The policy describes cookie use but does not state a consent mechanism on the page. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser; persistent cookies last until their expiry date or deletion, session cookies end when the browser closes.
- Account security: Cookies are explicitly used as a security measure against fraudulent login credential use, so clearing cookies will also sign you out.
- Analytics: Google Analytics data is collected for site usage analysis. Blocking analytics cookies in your browser will limit this collection.
- Advertising: Ad cookies are used to show relevant ads. Blocking them may make ads less relevant but does not necessarily remove them.
- Policy date: The policy has been effective since August 3, 2020 — check the live page for any updates after that date.
