Last updated: 1 January 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how PlayCircle Pty Ltd ("PlayCircle", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on playcircle.pro (the "Site"). By continuing to use our Site after accepting our cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on playcircle.pro:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly. They cannot be switched off. They include:

• age-verified (sessionStorage): Records your age-gate confirmation for the current browser session. This is deleted when you close your browser tab.
• cookie-accepted (localStorage): Records that you have accepted our cookie banner. This persists until you clear your browser storage.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, we may use functional cookies to remember your game preferences or session scores. These are stored in your browser's sessionStorage and are cleared when your session ends.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This helps us improve the user experience. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify you. If we use third-party analytics tools, they will be subject to their own privacy policies.

3. How Long Do Cookies Last?

The duration of cookies varies:

• Session cookies (sessionStorage): Deleted automatically when you close your browser tab.
• Persistent cookies (localStorage): Remain on your device until you clear your browser storage or they expire. Our cookie-accepted preference is stored indefinitely until cleared.

4. Third-Party Cookies

PlayCircle does not currently use third-party advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy accordingly. Any third-party services we integrate (such as analytics) may set their own cookies, which are governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Clearing storage: You can clear localStorage and sessionStorage via your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. In particular, disabling the age-verification cookie will require you to re-confirm your age on each visit.
