Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings. EmberLounge uses browser localStorage rather than traditional HTTP cookies for its essential functions, but the principles described here apply to all such storage mechanisms.

2. How We Use Storage on This Site

EmberLounge uses browser localStorage (a similar technology to cookies, stored entirely on your device) for two essential purposes:

• Age verification — we store a flag (ageVerified: "true") so that you do not have to confirm your age every time you visit. This data remains on your device only.
• Cookie banner dismissal — we store a flag (cookieDismissed: "true") so the information banner does not reappear after you have acknowledged it. This data remains on your device only.

Neither of these items is transmitted to our servers or shared with any third party.

3. Cookie Categories

3.1 Strictly Necessary

These are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core site features.

• ageVerified (localStorage) — Records that the user has confirmed they are 18+. Duration: Until manually cleared by user. No expiry set automatically.
• cookieDismissed (localStorage) — Records that the user has dismissed the cookie information banner. Duration: Until manually cleared by user.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

None currently used. EmberLounge does not currently deploy any analytics tracking services, analytics cookies, or third-party analytics scripts. No analytical data is collected about your browsing behaviour through cookies or similar technologies. Should analytics be introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and appropriate consent mechanisms will be implemented before any such cookies are set.

3.3 Advertising Cookies

None currently used. EmberLounge does not use any advertising or targeting cookies, retargeting pixels, or advertising network scripts. No advertising cookies are set. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and consent will be sought.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Our games are loaded via an iframe from the Play'n GO network (playngonetwork.com). This iframe may set its own cookies according to Play'n GO's privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing Play'n GO's privacy policy if you have concerns about third-party iframe cookies.

5. Cookie Duration

The localStorage items used by EmberLounge have no automatic expiry date — they persist until you manually clear your browser's local storage. You can do this at any time through your browser settings (see Section 6).

6. Managing Cookies and Browser Storage

You can manage and delete browser localStorage and cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to access these settings in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Opera: Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear browsing data

Please note that clearing localStorage will reset your age verification and banner preferences, meaning you will need to confirm these again on your next visit.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new technologies or change how we use existing storage mechanisms. Any material changes will be reflected in an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
