Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember your preferences and actions between page loads or visits. We also use the related browser feature localStorage, which works similarly but persists information directly on your device without sending it to a server.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

MapleThrilledMoments uses these technologies for a small and specific set of purposes. We do not sell your data, do not run third-party advertising trackers and do not build advertising profiles about you.

Strictly Necessary (always enabled)

These are required for the Site to function correctly. They are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers:

• Age confirmation flag — remembers that you have confirmed you are 18+ so the age gate is not shown on every page.
• Cookie choice flag — remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies so the banner is not shown repeatedly.
• Game state — stores your virtual coin balances, wins, losses and streaks per game so you can resume where you left off.

Optional (require your consent)

If you click "Accept All" on the cookie banner, we may additionally enable:

• Anonymous analytics — aggregated, IP-anonymised page-view statistics that help us understand which free social games are most popular and which pages need improvement.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social-media tracking pixels or fingerprinting techniques.

3. Third-Party Resources

The Site loads two external resources that may set basic cookies in your browser:

• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) — to display the Outfit and Inter typefaces.
• Lucide Icons (unpkg.com) — to load icon definitions used across the Site.

These providers may log standard request data such as IP address and user-agent. Please consult their respective privacy policies for details.

4. Your Choices

You have full control over cookies and local storage:

• Cookie banner — on first visit, you can choose to accept or decline optional cookies. We will not show the banner again after you decide.
• Browser settings — you can delete cookies, block them entirely or be prompted before they are set, using your browser's settings. Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the age gate and games from working as intended.
• Clear local storage — you can clear local storage at any time through your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data. This will reset your virtual coin balances and your age confirmation.

5. Retention

Strictly necessary local storage entries persist until you clear them manually through your browser. Optional analytics cookies, if accepted, expire within 13 months of your last visit. The cookie consent banner reflects standards under Canadian privacy legislation (PIPEDA), Quebec's Law 25 and applicable provincial requirements, and is informed by international frameworks such as the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.

6. Children

MapleThrilledMoments is intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors. If you believe a minor has used the Site, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Effective" date above. Continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
