Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They are commonly used to help a website remember information, such as whether a visitor has taken a particular action, or whether a logged-in user should remain logged in while moving between pages.

Session cookies last only for the browsing session and are normally discarded by the browser when it closes. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a set period or until the visitor deletes them through the browser’s settings.

This Cookie Policy applies to cardroomkoala.com and should be read together with the Privacy Policy where a cookie or similar technology could relate to personal information.

Cookie categories used on this site

Necessary cookies: CardroomKoala is built on WordPress. WordPress sets cookies of its own only for people who log in to the administration area or leave a comment; a visitor who does neither is not given one by WordPress.

Functional cookies: the site does not use functional cookies for ordinary visitors. The cookie banner records a visitor’s answer, but it does not store that answer in a cookie.

Analytics cookies: this site does not use analytics cookies. It loads no analytics scripts and does not use third-party tracking scripts of any kind.

Marketing cookies: this site does not use marketing cookies. It loads no advertising scripts, and every stylesheet, script and image is served by the site itself.

How the consent banner works

A first-time visitor sees a cookie banner with two buttons: Accept and Reject. Both buttons do the same two things and nothing else: the choice is recorded and the banner closes.

Nothing is loaded, unlocked or blocked as a result of choosing either button today. The answer is recorded so that anything added to the site later can respect that answer.

The visitor’s choice is not stored in a cookie. It is stored as a single value in the browser’s own local storage, known as localStorage, under a key belonging to this site, holding either “accepted” or “rejected”. Because it is not a cookie, that value is never sent to the server and is not shared with any other site. To change the answer, clear this site’s data in the browser through the same settings described below.

Managing cookies in your browser

Chrome: Chrome lets you manage cookies, local storage and other site data through its settings, generally within the privacy, security or site data area. You can clear stored data for cardroomkoala.com there if you want the banner to appear again or if you want to remove this site’s stored choice.

Firefox: Firefox provides controls for cookies and site data in its settings, usually within the privacy section. Use those controls to remove data stored by this site, including the localStorage value used to record the banner answer.

Safari: Safari manages cookies and website data through its preferences or settings, usually under privacy or website data. Clearing data for this site removes the stored banner answer from the browser.

Edge: Edge includes cookie and site data controls in its settings, generally within the privacy, cookies or site permissions area. Clearing this site’s data will remove the localStorage value that records whether Accept or Reject was chosen.
