What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help sites remember preferences and analyze usage. Browser localStorage is a similar mechanism with larger capacity.
Cookies we use
GerGame uses cookies and localStorage minimally:
Strictly necessary (no consent required)
- Cloudflare cookies — for security and bot detection. Set by our hosting provider.
Functional (set by the site itself)
- localStorage: gergame.lang — your preferred language.
- localStorage: gergame.score.<game-id> — your high score for each game.
- localStorage: gergame.save.<game-id> — mid-game state for games that support resume.
These never leave your device. We cannot read them from our servers.
Analytics (set when enabled)
- _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics, to understand which pages and games are popular. Set only after you accept analytics consent.
Advertising (set when enabled)
- Google AdSense cookies — for ad personalization on catalog and detail pages, when AdSense is active. Set only after you accept advertising consent.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies in three places:
- Browser settings — block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear specific cookies. Each browser has different settings; search "manage cookies" plus your browser name.
- Cookie consent banner — when you first visit, you can accept or reject analytics and advertising cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be rejected since the site requires them to function.
- Google Ad Settings — to control ad personalization specifically: adssettings.google.com.
Do Not Track
We honor browser-level "Do Not Track" signals where applicable. When this signal is detected, we disable optional analytics and advertising cookies.
Changes
If we add new cookies or change how existing ones work, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date. Significant changes will trigger a new consent prompt.
