Cookie Policy
Last Updated: November 12, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies (like LocalStorage) are, how MapleArcadia ("we," "us," or "our") uses them on our website, and what your choices are.
1. What are Cookies and LocalStorage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer or mobile) by your browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember information about you, such as your preferences.
LocalStorage is a newer web storage technology that allows websites to store larger amounts of data in your browser. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent back to the server with every request. We use it to store your preferences and local game data directly on your device.
2. How We Use These Technologies
We use these technologies for the following purposes:
Essential & Functional (Always On)
These are necessary for the website to function correctly. You cannot opt out of these.
- LocalStorage (mapleArcadiaAgeStatus): Stores your confirmation that you are 18+ so we do not ask you on every visit.
- LocalStorage (mapleArcadiaCookieConsent): Stores your cookie consent preferences (whether you accepted analytics or not).
- Security Cookies: May be used to help secure the platform and prevent fraudulent activity.
Local Game Data (Not Tracked)
We use LocalStorage to enhance your game experience by saving data only on your own device. This data is never sent to us.
- LocalStorage (mapleArcadiaPlayCount): Tracks the number of games you've played locally.
- LocalStorage (mapleArcadiaBestStreak): Tracks your local high scores or streaks.
- Note: If you clear your browser's cache or LocalStorage, this data will be permanently deleted.
Analytics (Requires Your Consent)
If you consent by clicking "Accept" on our cookie banner or enabling them in "Manage Settings," we will use analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous, aggregated information.
- Purpose: To count visits, see which pages are popular, and understand traffic sources.
- Privacy: This information is non-personally identifying. We do not use it to track or identify individual users.
3. Your Choices and How to Opt-Out
You have control over cookies and LocalStorage.
- Cookie Banner: You can give or withdraw consent for Analytics cookies at any time using our cookie banner or the "Manage" settings. If you do not consent, we will not set analytics cookies.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies and LocalStorage. Please be aware that if you block all cookies (including essential ones), parts of our site may not function correctly.
