Cookie Policy
A short, honest list of the cookies and storage entries used on this site, what they do, and how to switch them off.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to keep. localStorage is a similar idea — small bits of text saved per-site, not sent to the server. Both are used to remember settings (like your nickname) and, in some cases, for advertising. We treat both the same in this policy, even though only "cookies" are technically named.
Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (your seat in a room, the consent decision itself). We don't ask consent for these because the site cannot work without them.
- Advertising / personalization — set by Google AdSense and the Google Funding Choices consent platform. Loaded only after you accept in the consent dialog.
We do not currently use analytics or A/B-testing cookies.
Strictly necessary entries
| Name | Where | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

chkobba_profile (and similar) |
Browser localStorage |
Stores the nickname and avatar you chose so you don't have to re-enter them. | Until you clear browser storage |
| Socket.IO session id | Memory only (no cookie) | Keeps your seat in the room while you are connected. | Connection lifetime |
Advertising entries (set only after consent)
The exact cookies set by Google can change. The list below covers the most common ones at the time of writing; the authoritative list is in Google's cookies policy.

Manage your consent
You can change your decision at any time. The button below reopens the Google consent dialog. If the consent platform is not loaded for any reason, the button will clear the stored decision and reload the page so the choice is asked again.
Browser-level controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so does not break the game (we don't rely on cookies for gameplay) but it will remove your remembered nickname and consent decision, and we'll re-prompt next time.
