1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. Local Storage is a web browser technology that stores key-value pairs locally on your device with no expiration date, enabling fast page transitions and offline memory without sending excess HTTP headers with every web request.

2. Essential Functional Storage (First-Party)

Key Type Purpose & Description
pv_theme_pref LocalStorage Persists your chosen visual theme (Dark or Light Mode).
pv_fav_list LocalStorage Stores your list of bookmarked favorite game IDs on your device.
pv_rec_list LocalStorage Stores timestamps and identifiers of recently launched games.
pv_consent_pref LocalStorage Remembers your consent banner preferences.

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies

When advertising is enabled, third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) may set cookies to measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and serve personalized or non-personalized advertising based on your geographic region and consent preferences.

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your preferences through our on-site Consent Manager or configure your browser controls to block or delete cookies. Note that clearing your browser's local storage will reset your saved favorite games and dark mode preference.
