1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and provide a better user experience.
2. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
Loonecho Woods primarily uses browser localStorage rather than traditional cookies. These technologies serve similar purposes:
Essential Storage
We use localStorage to store information necessary for the platform to function:
- Age Verification: Remembers that you've confirmed you're 18 or older
- Cookie Consent: Stores your cookie acceptance preference
Game Data Storage
We use localStorage to save your game progress and preferences:
- Game Progress: Your current game state and virtual currency balance
- Game Preferences: Settings you've chosen for each game
All data stored in localStorage remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
3. Types of Technologies We Use
LocalStorage
Browser localStorage is our primary data storage method. Unlike cookies, localStorage data:
- Persists until explicitly deleted
- Is not sent with HTTP requests
- Can store larger amounts of data
- Remains entirely on your device
Session Data
Temporary data stored during your browsing session to maintain functionality across pages.
4. Third-Party Technologies
Loonecho Woods is a static platform with minimal third-party integrations. We do not use:
- Advertising cookies or trackers
- Social media tracking pixels
- Third-party analytics services (except basic server logs)
5. Managing Your Preferences
Browser Settings
You can control localStorage and cookies through your browser settings:
- Clear Data: Delete existing localStorage and cookies
- Block Storage: Prevent websites from storing data (may break functionality)
- Selective Deletion: Remove data from specific websites
Impact of Disabling Storage
Important: If you disable localStorage or frequently clear your browser data:
- You'll need to confirm your age each visit
- Your game progress will not be saved
- You'll see the cookie consent banner repeatedly
- Some features may not work correctly
6. How to Clear Browser Data
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Select "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files"
Mozilla Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove All
Microsoft Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data → Choose what to clear
7. Data Security
Since all localStorage data remains on your device:
- It's protected by your device's security
- It's not transmitted over the internet
- It cannot be accessed by other websites
- You have complete control over it
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of technologies evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
