Cookie Guide

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in your browser by websites you visit. They allow a site to remember information about your visit, like whether you have already confirmed your age or agreed to the cookie policy. CedarChoice takes a minimalist approach: we use browser localStorage (functionally similar to cookies) only where strictly necessary for the platform to work correctly.

What We Store and Why

CedarChoice stores exactly two items in your browser’s localStorage under normal operation:

• eg_age_ok — Set to “1” when you confirm you are 18+. Without this, the age gate would reappear on every visit. Value never leaves your device. Retained until you clear browser data.
• eg_ck_ok or eg_ck_no — Records whether you accepted or declined the cookie notice. Prevents the banner from reappearing. Value never leaves your device.

Neither key contains personal identifying information. Neither is shared with any third party. Neither expires on a server schedule (they persist in your browser until you clear localStorage manually).

Third-Party Cookies

CedarChoice does not deploy any third-party advertising cookies, analytics tracking pixels, or social-media tracking scripts. We load typefaces from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome via CDN; these requests are made directly from your browser to their respective CDN servers and may set their own temporary caching headers, but these are standard CDN behaviour, not tracking cookies, and no personal data is shared with us as a result.

Google Consent Mode v2

CedarChoice implements Google Consent Mode v2 in the “deny all” default state. This means analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, functionality_storage, and personalization_storage are all set to “denied” before any script loads. Security_storage is granted because it is required for the site to function correctly (it governs technical browser security headers, not advertising). No Google Analytics or Google Ads tag is active on this platform; the Consent Mode block is in place as a precautionary infrastructure measure for future compliance flexibility.

How to Remove or Manage Stored Data

You can clear all localStorage data stored by CedarChoice at any time by clearing your browser’s site data. In most browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → select domain → Remove
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data

Clearing this data will reset your age-gate confirmation and cookie-banner choice on your next visit to CedarChoice. It will have no other effect on your experience, as we store no play history or credits on any server.

Your Consent Choices

When you first visit CedarChoice, a cookie-consent banner invites you to accept or decline. Choosing “Accept” confirms your awareness of our minimal-cookie approach. Choosing “Decline” means no functional change to the platform — we do not use your choice to enable or disable advertising features (we have none). Both choices simply dismiss the banner and record your preference locally.
