Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and localStorage?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. localStorage is a similar browser-based storage mechanism that persists data within your browser without an expiry date unless manually cleared.

Great North Adventure primarily uses localStorage (not traditional cookies) for its core functionality. The distinction is important: localStorage data is never transmitted to our servers with page requests.

2. What We Store and Why

Essential localStorage Items

These are required for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled without breaking core features:

• gna_age_verified — Stores your age confirmation so you don't have to re-verify on every visit. Without this, the age gate would appear on every page load.
• gna_cookie_consent — Stores your response to our cookie consent banner.
• gna_coins — Stores your Adventure Coin balance between sessions.
• gna_slots_stats, gna_poker_stats, gna_bj_stats — Stores per-game session statistics (rounds played, win counts). Purely local and optional.

What We Do Not Use

We do not use:

• Advertising or tracking cookies
• Third-party analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
• Social media tracking pixels
• Cross-site tracking of any kind
• Persistent session cookies linked to account identities

3. How to Manage Storage

You can clear all locally stored data at any time by:

1. Opening your browser's developer tools (F12)
2. Navigating to Application > Storage > localStorage
3. Clearing all entries for GreatNorthAdventure.com

Alternatively, clearing all browser data/cookies through your browser's settings will also reset all Platform data. Note: this will reset your coin balance to 5,000 and clear your age verification.

4. Your Consent

By clicking "Accept All" on our cookie consent banner, you consent to all storage items listed above. By clicking "Decline Optional," only strictly essential items (age verification and coin balance) will be maintained. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our storage practices. Updates will be reflected by the date at the top of this page.
