1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

• Game state: To save your game progress and scores locally within your browser session.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as confirming your age or setting your cookie preferences.
