Browser Storage & Consent Mode Documentation

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: October 21, 2026 • Domain: canarcticcrucible.com

1. How CanArcticCrucible Uses Cookies & Local Storage

CanArcticCrucible (canarcticcrucible.com) utilizes lightweight browser storage mechanisms—specifically HTTP cookies and HTML5 localStorage keys—to ensure reliable page rendering, remember your privacy choices, and optionally measure aggregate directory engagement. We do not use intrusive cross-site behavioral fingerprinting or third-party advertising networks.

2. Categories of Cookies & Storage Tokens

Our Consent Mode architecture classifies browser storage into two transparent categories:

  • Strictly Necessary Tokens (Always Active): These tokens are essential for the core technical operation of our website. Specifically, we store the key ccu_cookie_consent_v1 in your browser's localStorage to record whether you selected "Accept All", "Essential Only", or custom preferences, preventing the consent banner from re-appearing on every page load.
  • Analytical & Performance Cookies (Optional): Only activated if you explicitly opt in via our Cookie Banner or Preferences Modal. These cookies help our engineering team understand aggregate metrics such as which genre filter tabs (Strategy, Action, RPG) are used most frequently and how quickly pages render across desktop and mobile browsers.

3. Summary of Active Storage Keys

Token / Key Name Type Category Duration Purpose
ccu_cookie_consent_v1 localStorage Strictly Necessary 12 Months Stores your Consent Mode preference object (essential and analytics flags).
ccu_perf_metric First-Party Cookie Analytical 30 Days Measures anonymous directory filter interactions and page load latency when consent is granted.

4. Third-Party Publisher Websites

Please note that this Cookie Policy applies exclusively to canarcticcrucible.com. When you click "Play Now" on any of the nine browser games featured in our catalog, you leave our directory and navigate to the official website of the game's publisher. Those external platforms use their own session cookies, WebGL asset caches, and IndexedDB storage to save your game progress and settings.

5. How to Manage or Revoke Your Cookie Consent

You have full control over your cookie preferences at any time:

  • On-Site Preferences Modal: Click the "Manage Cookie Preferences" button located in the Legal & Governance column of our site footer on any page to toggle analytical cookies on or off immediately.
  • Browser-Level Controls: You can clear cookies and localStorage data directly through the privacy settings of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
