Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies IdleGaming uses on idlegaming.net, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — like your preferences or consent choices — so your experience is more consistent across visits.

In addition to cookies, IdleGaming uses your browser's localStorage to store quiz progress data and settings. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is never sent to our servers — it lives entirely on your device.

2. Cookies We Use

Cookie Name Type Purpose Duration
ig_cookie_consent Essential Stores your cookie consent preference 1 year
ig_quiz_{type} Functional (localStorage) Saves your quiz progress and best score Persistent (local only)
ig_recent_quizzes Functional (localStorage) Tracks recently played quizzes for display Persistent (local only)
_ga, _gid Analytics (if enabled) Google Analytics — aggregate visitor statistics 2 years / 24 hours

3. What We Do NOT Use

We want to be clear about what we don't use cookies for:

  • We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies
  • We do not use third-party tracking pixels or social media tracking
  • We do not sell cookie or localStorage data to any third parties
  • We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit IdleGaming, a banner will appear at the bottom of the page asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can:

  • Accept: Allow all cookies as described in this policy
  • Decline: Limit to essential functionality only (cookie consent storage)

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific sites. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. Common browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data

To clear localStorage data, use your browser's developer tools (F12) → Application → Local Storage, or clear your browser's site data from settings.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. If the changes are significant, we will notify you via the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
