Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 2, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how FernTideHaven uses cookies and similar technologies. By using our platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
2. How We Use Cookies
FernTideHaven uses a minimal number of cookies for essential functionality only. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across websites, or selling your data to third parties.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function properly and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ageVerified | Remembers that you confirmed being 18+ years old | 1 year |
| cookieConsent | Remembers your cookie consent preference | 1 year |
3.2 LocalStorage (Not Cookies, But Similar)
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage to save game progress. This is not technically a cookie, but functions similarly. LocalStorage holds:
- Virtual coin balances for each game
- Game statistics (total spins, hands played, wins, etc.)
- Your game preferences
Important: All localStorage data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
4. Third-Party Cookies
FernTideHaven does not currently use any third-party cookies. We do not integrate with advertising networks, analytics services, or social media platforms that would place cookies on your device.
5. Cookie Duration
Our cookies fall into these categories:
Session Cookies
We do not currently use session cookies.
Persistent Cookies
Our cookies persist for up to 1 year to remember your age verification and consent preferences. This prevents you from seeing these prompts on every visit.
6. Managing Cookies
6.1 Browser Settings
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
Google Chrome
- Click the three dots menu → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox
- Click the menu button → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari
- Click Safari → Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge
- Click the three dots menu → Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
6.2 Deleting FernTideHaven Cookies
To delete our specific cookies:
- Open your browser's developer tools (usually F12)
- Go to the Application or Storage tab
- Find "Cookies" and expand FernTideHaven.com
- Delete individual cookies or clear all
6.3 Clearing localStorage
To clear your game progress stored in localStorage:
- Open your browser's settings
- Navigate to site data or storage settings
- Find FernTideHaven.com and clear its data
- Alternatively, clear your browser cache entirely
7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable or delete our cookies:
- You will need to confirm your age verification on every visit
- You will see the cookie consent banner on every visit
- Core game functionality will still work
- Your game progress in localStorage will not be affected (unless you also clear localStorage)
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting not to be tracked. FernTideHaven already minimizes tracking and does not use third-party tracking cookies, so we do not change our behavior in response to Do Not Track signals.
9. Mobile Devices
On mobile devices, cookie management works similarly through your mobile browser's settings. The exact steps vary by browser and operating system.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
