Cookie Policy 🍪

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to website owners. At VasyanGaming, we use cookies and similar technologies like local storage to ensure our free social arcade platform operates smoothly and provides you with the best possible entertainment experience when enjoying interactive modules like Moonlight Princess Quest.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we employ, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

VasyanGaming uses cookies and local storage technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential Functionality: To enable core features of the platform, including age verification status, session management, and cookie consent preferences.
• Personalization: To remember your preferences, such as display settings and language options, so you have a consistent experience each time you visit.
• Performance & Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our platform, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience.
• Entertainment Features: To save your progress, scores, and preferences within our interactive arcade modules using localStorage with the vg_ prefix.

3. Types of Cookies

We categorize the cookies used on VasyanGaming into three main groups:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, age verification, and access to secure areas. The platform cannot function without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make (such as your display name or preferred settings) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide requested services like saving your arcade progress.
• Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use VasyanGaming by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the platform's structure, content, and performance.

4. Cookie Table

Below is a detailed list of the cookies and local storage items used on VasyanGaming:

5. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, VasyanGaming uses your browser's local storage (localStorage) to store certain data directly on your device. Local storage items with the vg_ prefix are used to:

• Remember your age verification status so you are not prompted repeatedly.
• Store your cookie consent preference.
• Save your game progress, scores, and achievements within interactive modules like Moonlight Princess Quest.
• Remember your display and personalization preferences.

Unlike cookies, local storage data does not expire automatically. It remains on your device until you manually clear your browser's site data. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or settings.
