1. About Browser Storage on This Site
Gladiator Sands uses browser-side storage mechanisms — specifically localStorage — to improve your experience. Unlike traditional server-set cookies, localStorage stores data directly in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers in the background.
This site does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics platforms. All storage is functional and essential to the site's operation.
2. What Is Stored and Why
| Item | Purpose | Duration | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age confirmation | Remembers that you have confirmed you are 18+, so the gate does not appear on every visit. | Until browser data is cleared | Yes |
| Storage preference | Records your choice regarding browser storage (Accept All or Essential Only). | Until browser data is cleared | Yes |
| Game session | Stores your current virtual coin balance and game state during a session. | Session / until cleared | Functional |
3. What We Do Not Use
- We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
- We do not use third-party analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics).
- We do not use retargeting or behavioural advertising technology.
- We do not share stored data with any third parties.
4. Your Choices
When you first visit Gladiator Sands, you are shown a storage notice with two options:
- Accept All: All functional storage items listed above are enabled, including the optional game session state.
- Essential Only: Only the age confirmation and storage preference items are stored.
You can clear all browser storage at any time through your browser settings. This will reset your age confirmation and storage preferences.
5. How to Clear Browser Storage
To clear localStorage in most desktop browsers, open your browser settings, navigate to “Privacy” or “Clear browsing data”, and select “Cookies and site data” or “Site storage”. You can also clear data specifically for gladiatorsands.com through your browser's developer tools.
