1. Understanding Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are small data files placed on your device by websites. At Royal Elm House, we primarily utilize a modern equivalent known as HTML5 Local Storage. This technology fulfills a similar role but allows us to securely store your virtual gaming progress directly on your device without the need for constant internet transmission.
2. Purpose of Local Storage
We employ local storage strictly for essential, operational purposes. Specifically, we store:
- A definitive flag confirming your 18+ age verification.
- A numerical value dictating your current virtual Elm Coin balance.
- A record of your interaction with our Cookie Policy banner.
Without these critical local storage keys, our platform would be unable to function, and your virtual wealth would vanish upon every page refresh.
3. Managing Your Information
As all data resides locally on your personal device, you retain absolute control over it. You may eradicate your Royal Elm House data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and local storage within your browser settings. Please be advised that this action will permanently erase your virtual balance.
