Cookie Policy

1. Definition of Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies are small text documents stored on your computer or phone when visiting a site. Web beacons are tiny transparent images that track page loading and user interactions. Both are used to identify device settings.

2. Why Cookies Are Vital for Slot Simulations

We use cookies to save your configurations (such as your sound toggle configurations inside slot games and theme display properties) so you do not have to re-enter them on every page load or when switching games.

3. Strictly Necessary Functional Cookies

These cookies are mandatory for site operation. They handle session identification, security firewalls, and record whether you passed our adult age gate modal, preventing repeated redirects.

4. User Preferences and Settings Cookies

These cookies save your settings, such as your sound toggle configurations inside slot games, layout dimensions, and visual theme configurations, enhancing interface customizability.

5. Analytical and Traffic Statistics Cookies

These cookies track anonymous data, such as which slots are played most frequently, average session lengths, bounce rates, and traffic sources, helping us refine layout math and design elements.

6. Google Ads and Policy Compliance Tracking

Our site operates in compliance with Google Ads standards. Cookies track page visits to verify policies and assure Google bots that our content is safe, compliant, and features no real gambling hooks.

7. Third-Party Integrations and Cookies

Some interactive elements, like Google Fonts and Leaflet maps, set cookies to manage geographic positioning or optimize font loading speeds. We do not control these cookies directly.

8. Pixels, Telemetry, and Storage APIs

We use Local Storage APIs in addition to standard cookies. This lets us persist your game state and session metrics directly inside your browser cache securely without server overhead.

9. Duration and Life Cycle of Cookies

We use session cookies (deleted when closing your browser) and persistent cookies (retained up to 12 months to remember your preferences on return, such as age gate bypass status).

10. Consent and Control via Cookie Banner

When first loading the platform, a banner requests consent. You can accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. You can revoke this consent at any time via settings.

11. Custom Browser Settings and Deletion

You can configure your browser to block, filter, or delete cookies. Visit your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) to manage cookie storage parameters and clear cookies.

12. Operational Impacts of Disabling Cookies

If you reject necessary cookies, you may have to pass the age gate on every page load, and your slot configurations, scores, and sound settings will reset upon closing your browser.

13. Policy Revisions and Contact Channels

This Cookie Policy is updated periodically to meet modern privacy standards. For inquiries regarding cookie usage, contact us at support@playcommunityfriend.com. We value your feedback.
