What we store
- Play state (virtual coins) in localStorage — required for the games
- An optional preference flag when you press Accept on the banner
- No requirement to accept marketing cookies in order to play
Why storage exists on this site
“Cookies” in everyday language often means any small browser storage. UK Game Parlour relies mainly on localStorage rather than classic HTTP cookies for the coin balance. The effect is similar from your point of view: values stay on your device until you clear them.
| Key / item | Type | Role |
|---|---|---|
| localStorage | Remember your virtual coin total and related free-play helpers between visits | |
| localStorage | Set to 1 when you accept the banner so it stays hidden on later visits |
Without local play storage, every refresh would reset your free balance and the games could not keep a coherent session. That is why we treat it as essential for the service you asked to use.
Pressing Dismiss on the banner hides it for the current visit without writing the preference flag. Pressing Accept writes the flag so the banner can stay out of the way next time.
How to clear or limit storage
- Use your browser’s site settings for ukgameparlour.com and clear cookies and site data.
- Use a private or guest window if you want a temporary session that disappears when the window closes (behaviour depends on the browser).
- Email team@ukgameparlour.com if a storage key appears to misbehave after an update.
Fonts and hosting
Pages load Archivo, Source Sans 3 and IBM Plex Mono from Google Fonts. Your browser will request those font files from Google’s servers. Hosting or CDN infrastructure may set its own technical cookies for security or performance; those are controlled by the host, not by a marketing tag we embed for profiling.
Changes
If we add non-essential analytics or similar tools in future, this page will say so clearly and the banner copy will be updated. As of 4 September 2026, play does not depend on advertising cookies.
