Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. WinnipegSpirit also uses localStorage — a similar browser-native storage mechanism — to save your game state and preferences locally. Neither cookies nor localStorage involve transmitting personal data to our servers unless you consent to analytics tracking.

2. Essential Cookies & Storage

These are set automatically and cannot be disabled. They are necessary for the Platform to function:

• gp_age — Stores your age-gate confirmation (value: 1). Expires after 12 months.
• gp_consent — Records that you have interacted with the consent banner. Expires after 12 months.
• gp_credits — Saves your current Spirit Coins balance in localStorage. No expiry (persists until browser storage is cleared).
• gp_stake — Saves your preferred stake level. No expiry.

3. Analytics Cookies (Optional — Consent Required)

If you choose "Accept All" or enable Analytics in the preferences panel, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymised usage data:

• _ga — Distinguishes unique visitors. Expires after 2 years.
• _ga_* — Session container for GA4. Expires after 2 years.

These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. You can opt out at any time via the 🍪 button.

4. Personalisation Storage (Optional — Consent Required)

If personalisation consent is granted, we save your analytics preference and personalisation flag in localStorage:

• gp_analytics — Records analytics consent state (0 or 1).
• gp_pers — Records personalisation consent state (0 or 1).

5. Third-Party Cookies

WinnipegSpirit loads Bootstrap CSS from jsDelivr CDN. jsDelivr may set their own security or performance cookies. Consult jsDelivr's privacy policy for details. We have no other third-party cookie agreements.

6. Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

• Cookie preferences panel: Click the 🍪 button in the bottom-left corner of any page.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the game from saving your progress.

To clear all WinnipegSpirit data: open your browser's developer tools → Application → Clear Site Data.

7. No Advertising Cookies

WinnipegSpirit does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any technology designed to track you across third-party websites. All analytics data remains anonymised and is used solely to improve the Platform.

8. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated as our technology changes. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Changes take effect immediately upon publication.
