What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember information about your visit.
Our Minimal Use of Cookies
NorthernFernBay uses cookies and browser storage (localStorage) sparingly and only for essential functions. We do not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising.
What We Store
Essential Local Storage
We use localStorage (similar to cookies but more capable) to store:
- ageVerified: Remembers that you confirmed being 18+ so you don't see the age modal on every visit
- cookieConsent: Remembers that you accepted our cookie policy
- userCredits: Your current virtual credit balance
- Game statistics: Hands played, spins completed, etc.
All this data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to any server.
What We Do NOT Use
NorthernFernBay does not use:
- Tracking cookies
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.)
- Advertising cookies
- Social media cookies
- Third-party cookies of any kind
Managing Cookies & Storage
Viewing What's Stored
You can view all data stored by NorthernFernBay:
- Open your browser's Developer Tools (usually F12)
- Go to the "Application" or "Storage" tab
- Look under "Local Storage"
- Select NorthernFernBay.com
Clearing Stored Data
You can clear all NorthernFernBay data at any time:
- Go to your browser settings
- Find "Privacy" or "Clear browsing data"
- Select "Cookies and site data"
- Choose to clear data for NorthernFernBay.com
Note: Clearing this data will reset your virtual credits to 1,000 and remove your age verification.
Blocking Storage
You can configure your browser to block localStorage and cookies, but this will prevent NorthernFernBay from functioning properly. Essential features like credit saving and age verification will not work.
Third-Party Cookies
NorthernFernBay does not use any third-party services, so no third-party cookies are set when you use our platform.
Do Not Track
Since we don't track users, Do Not Track browser settings are irrelevant to our platform. We don't track whether you have DNT enabled or not.
Changes to Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
Contact Us
If you have questions about our use of cookies or localStorage, please contact us.
Summary
In Plain English: We use browser storage (localStorage) to save your game progress and remember that you confirmed your age. That's it. No tracking, no analytics, no advertising. Everything stays on your device.
