Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Gearlight Arcade uses essential cookies and local browser storage to support the website experience.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature used to keep lightweight preferences or temporary information. Both help websites remember choices without asking again on every page.
2. How Gearlight Arcade uses them
We use cookies and local storage for essential site behavior, including remembering whether you accepted or declined the cookie notice, supporting mobile navigation behavior, and keeping form interactions smooth during local preview or temporary connection failure.
3. Cookie notice preference
When you choose “Accept” or “Essential only,” that choice is stored locally so the banner does not appear again on every page. This preference is not used to identify you personally and is not sold to advertisers.
4. Form fallback storage
If the website is opened without PHP hosting or if a form request cannot be completed, submitted contact or newsletter data may be stored in the visitor’s browser so the interface can still show a successful user experience. This storage remains on the device and can be cleared through browser settings.
5. Analytics and advertising
The current build is designed without invasive advertising trackers. If analytics or marketing tools are added in the future, this policy should be updated to describe what is collected, why it is used, and how visitors can manage preferences.
6. Managing cookies
You can delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Removing these preferences may cause the cookie banner to appear again and may clear locally saved form-preview information.
7. Essential-only choice
Selecting “Essential only” keeps the site functional while avoiding optional preferences. Some features, such as remembering banner state or saving local preview form data, may still rely on essential local browser storage.
8. Updates
We may update this policy when site features change. The latest version on this page reflects the current cookie and local storage behavior of Gearlight Arcade.
