Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal information that you have provided to us. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on shadowarcade.info, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Shadow Arcade uses cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) on shadowarcade.info for the following purposes:
These cookies are essential for shadowarcade.info to function properly. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as confirming your age or setting your cookie preferences.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| age_confirmed | Stores your age verification confirmation | Session | sessionStorage |
| cookies_accepted | Stores your cookie consent preference | Persistent | localStorage |
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of shadowarcade.info. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
In addition to traditional cookies, shadowarcade.info uses localStorage and sessionStorage — browser-based storage mechanisms — to save your preferences (such as cookie consent and age verification) locally on your device. These are not transmitted to our servers.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:
When you first visit shadowarcade.info, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. You can choose to accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options", "Preferences", or "Settings" menu of your browser. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of shadowarcade.info. In particular, disabling sessionStorage may prevent the age gate from remembering your verification during a session.
To reset your cookie consent or age verification preferences, you can clear your browser's localStorage and sessionStorage data. In most browsers, this can be done via Developer Tools (F12) > Application > Storage > Clear Site Data, or through your browser's privacy/history settings.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
