What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Local storage is a similar mechanism that lets a site remember information (like your settings or game progress) on your device. Some are strictly necessary for the site to work; others (like advertising) are optional and, where required by law, are only used with your consent.

Categories we use

1. Strictly necessary / functional

These make the Service work and remember your choices. They do not track you across other sites, and they do not require consent.

Name / key	Purpose	Type	Retention
`games-auth`	Keeps you signed in to your optional account	Local storage	Until sign‑out / cleared
`playpendium:*` (e.g. view, density, taglines, favorites, collapsed)	Remembers your display settings, favorites, and layout preferences	Local storage	Until cleared
Game progress / save keys	Stores your in‑game progress and high scores on your device	Local storage	Until cleared

2. Advertising

The Service is supported by advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies to serve and measure ads and, where permitted, to personalize them. Examples include cookies set from doubleclick.net and googlesyndication.com (such as a test_cookie used to check whether cookies are supported, and ad‑delivery/measurement cookies). Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), these are only set after you consent through our consent management platform.

Source	Purpose	Type
Google AdSense / DoubleClick	Serve, cap, and measure advertising; personalize ads where consented	Third‑party cookies

You can learn more and manage Google ad personalization at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many advertising cookies at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

Managing your choices

Consent tool. If you are in a region where consent is required, use the privacy/consent link on the site to change or withdraw your choice at any time.
Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies and clear local storage in your browser settings. Blocking strictly‑necessary items may stop parts of the Service (like saves or sign‑in) from working.
Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where applicable, we honor the GPC browser signal as an opt‑out of "sale/sharing" for advertising.

Changes

We may update this policy as our cookie use changes; the "last updated" date above will reflect any revision.
