IndexedDB and Local Storage Usage

Our site implements client-side storage technologies known as IndexedDB and localStorage. IndexedDB is a database suited for larger data sets, while localStorage is best suited for small amounts of information.
They are necessary to provide optimal performance on our site and help the game load faster. They also save your preferences in your browser to be able to retrieve them faster. For example, your progress and preferences are stored locally, instead of on our servers, so they can be loaded more quickly when you play.
IndexedDB and localStorage do not collect your personal data. Instead, these technologies store the data locally, and their use is essential for our service to operate properly.

Data Retention

The data we collect will be stored for the time your account is active, and for no longer than one (1) year after it is deactivated. We will only keep the data longer than one (1) year if we are required to by any applicable laws.

Managing Your Privacy Preferences

You can opt out of storing optional cookies on our website, as well as refuse to use IndexedDB and localStorage by changing your browser settings. The refusal to allow tracking and storing technologies will result in limited performance on our website. For example, you will not be able to save your game progress or preferences, like layout or language.
The function of cookies is to provide an optimal performance. To enjoy an enhanced website performance while maintaining your privacy, you may disable third-party data collection.

Third-Party Data Processing

We may work with third-party providers for services such as advertising and analytics. These third-party agents may have access to your data via cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.

We advise you to consult the Privacy Policies of each website you interact with, as further usage of the site constitutes consent to its policies.
