About this policy
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (they remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). Cookies set by the website itself (in this case, https://www.slashdream.net) are called "first-party cookies".
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this cookie policy, please reach out by email at privacy@slashdream.net.
Our cookie usage
We use ONE cookie, strictly necessary for the website to function properly.
We do not use:
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Analytics cookies
- Social media cookies
- Preference or performance cookies
- Session cookies
We do not use any third-party cookies on this website. The cookie is set directly by our website (a first-party cookie) and is not shared with or accessible by any third-party service.
The cookie we use
The following cookie is used on our website to remember that you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so that the notice is not shown again on every page.
Cookie consent cookie
| Cookie name | .AspNet.Consent |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Stores your cookie consent preference to remember that you have acknowledged our cookie notice |
| Type | First-party persistent cookie |
| Duration | 365 days |
| Data stored | Consent status ("acknowledged" when the notice is closed) |
Why is this cookie essential?
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as well as Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and Québec's Law 25, essential (or strictly necessary) cookies do not require explicit user consent because they are:
- Strictly necessary for the website to function and deliver the services you have requested
- Used solely for carrying out the transmission of communication over an electronic communications network or providing a service explicitly requested by the user
- Not used for tracking, profiling or advertising purposes
Similarly, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), opt-in consent is not required for cookies unless they involve the sale or sharing of personal information. An essential cookie used only for core functionality is exempt from these requirements.
Other applicable data protection and privacy laws may also apply depending on your location.
Without this cookie, the website could not remember that you have acknowledged the notice, and would show it again on every page.
Managing cookies
While we only use an essential cookie, you can still manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that:
- Blocking or deleting the cookie will bring the cookie notice back on your next visit
- Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies through their settings or preferences menu
- You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, but this may limit your ability to use many websites

Updates to this cookie policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie usage or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice on our website.
