Last updated: July 8th, 2026

Who We Are

This Cookie Policy is published by Cybernautix Systems LLC, operating as XBOX Gear ("we," "us," or "our"), located at 444 E Anaheim St, Long Beach, CA 90813, United States. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at gear.xbox.com (the "Site").

For information about how we handle your personal information more broadly, please see our [Privacy Policy].

1. What Are Cookies?

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 efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.

In addition to cookies, we may also use:

  • Web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs) — small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been opened
  • Local storage — similar to cookies but stored directly in your browser
  • Session storage — temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser
  • Device fingerprinting — a technique that collects information about your device settings to identify your device across sessions

Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."

1A. Compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws in Other Jurisdictions

Our Site is accessible internationally. In addition to the requirements referenced elsewhere in this policy, we handle cookie data and related personal information in a manner consistent with mandatory privacy, data protection, and electronic communications laws in each jurisdiction from which the Site is accessed. Where the law of your country, state, or region provides you with additional rights, choices, or protections beyond those described here, or requires additional disclosures or a different standard of consent, those rights and requirements will apply, and we will comply with them to the extent required by law. References in this policy to specific frameworks such as the GDPR or CPRA are illustrative and do not limit our commitment to comply with any other privacy law that applies to you.

2. How We Obtain Your Consent

When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear asking for your permission to use non-essential cookies. You can:

  • Accept all cookies — allows all categories of cookies
  • Reject non-essential cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be used
  • Customize your preferences — choose which categories of cookies you allow

This banner is managed through our cookie consent management tool, Nova: GDPR Cookie Consent, which records and stores your preferences.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our Site.

Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent given before withdrawal.
