Analytics is not a cookie
If you choose Accept all on the game, the server stores visit rows (page, time, IP address, browser string, a hash of the session, and the account id when you are signed in). That is personal data, so it waits for a yes. The rows are deleted after 90 days. Reject non-essential, or turn Analytics off under Cookie settings, and new rows are not written. The forum does not keep those visit rows.
Stripe
If you buy a Donator Pack, the browser goes to Stripe’s checkout. Stripe then sets its own cookies on its own site for the payment. We do not control those cookies. They are not set while you only play or only read the manuals.
How to change your mind
Use Cookie settings in the footer, or open this page with cookies.php?cookies=1. Reject non-essential leaves the sign-in cookie in place so the game still works, and stops the visit records.
