Fine print What your browser keeps
Cookies and local storage
By default, Reel Afterglow sets no cookies at all. The games remember a few small things in your browser instead, and they never leave your device.

No cookies by default
Cookies are small files a website asks your browser to store and send back on later visits. Reel Afterglow doesn't need them: there are no logins to remember and no advertising profiles to build. Unless the operator turns on Google measurement and you accept it, no cookies are set.
What the games keep in local storage
Local storage and session storage are areas of your browser where a page can save small values. Unlike cookies, they are not sent with every request, and ours are never sent to us at all. The games use them like this:
| Key | What it remembers |
|---|---|
| rag:credits | Your Dusk Coins balance |
| rag:age | That you confirmed you are 19+ |
| rag:stake:… | Your last stake in each game |
| rag:rc | Your reality-check interval |
| rag:lock | When a break you chose ends |
| rag:played, rag:secs | Session only: play time for reminders |
| rag:minor | Session only: closes games after an under-19 answer |
Local storage items stay until you remove them; session items disappear when you close the tab. These are strictly necessary for the games to work as you would expect, so they don't need consent, but you can delete them whenever you like.
If the operator turns on Google tags
The operator may enable Google Analytics or Google Ads measurement. If so, a banner asks for your choice on your first visit, and nothing is set until you select Accept. Your answer is stored in local storage as cc:consent. If you accept, Google may set:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Tells visits apart for Google Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Keeps the state of an Analytics session | 2 years |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads conversion measurement | 90 days |
If you reject, these cookies are not set and every game works exactly the same. The privacy notice explains what Google receives.
Changing your mind
To start over, clear this site's data in your browser settings (often under “Site settings” or “Cookies and site data”). That removes local storage and any cookies; if Google tags are on, the banner comes back on your next visit so you can choose again. The “Forget my settings” button on our responsible play page clears your balance, age confirmation and reminder setting in one tap; a break you have chosen stays in place until it ends.
