Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the website operators. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings.

In addition to traditional cookies, our Platform also uses localStorage, a web storage technology that allows us to store data locally within your browser. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with every request, making it more efficient for storing user preferences and arcade progress data. On Mighty Clash Arcade, localStorage entries use the prefix "mc_" so they can be easily identified and managed.

Cookies and localStorage data can be categorized as either "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting). They can also be classified by their duration: "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

2. Our Cookies

Platform Functionality: To ensure our Platform operates correctly and delivers the interactive entertainment experiences you expect, including loading arcade modules like Troll Hunters Arena and maintaining session state.
User Preferences: To remember your choices and settings, such as your cookie consent preferences and age verification status, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
Arcade Progress: To save your progress, scores, and achievements within our interactive modules using localStorage (mc_ prefix), allowing you to continue your gaming experience across sessions.
Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our Platform, which pages are most popular, how users navigate between pages, and whether they encounter any technical issues. This helps us improve quality and performance.
