RT:COOKIE

A cookie is a tiny data file that we transfer onto your device that you use to access the RTGame Wiki. We won't feed cookies to your browser unless it is necessary. Apart from Cloudflare, all of our cookies are first-party and only utilized when needed. The data stored by third party services are all anonymized.
