Effective Date: January 1, 2026. GreatLakeRush uses only essential local storage and minimal cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking, or third-party analytics cookies that identify you personally.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information between visits. Alongside cookies, modern platforms often use localStorage — a browser-based storage mechanism that functions similarly but holds more data locally.
How GreatLakeRush Uses Local Storage
We primarily use your browser's localStorage (not traditional cookies) for the following essential functions:
- Age Verification: Remembers that you have confirmed being 18 or older, so you don't need to confirm on every visit.
- Cookie Consent: Stores your cookie preference so the consent banner doesn't reappear after you've made your choice.
- Virtual Coin Balance: Saves your current coin balance and refill eligibility between sessions.
- Game History: Stores a short log of recent game results for display in the game sidebar.
- Daily Refill Tracking: Records when you last received a daily coin refill to manage the 24-hour cooldown.
None of this data is sent to our servers or shared with third parties. It exists entirely on your device.
Cookie Categories We Use
Strictly Necessary
These are required for the Platform to function. They include the items listed above (age verification, consent preference). Without these, certain features of the Platform will not work correctly. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies while continuing to use the Platform.
Analytics (Anonymized)
We may use anonymized, non-identifying analytics to understand aggregate usage (e.g., how many visitors played slots this week). If used, these tools do not identify individual users and do not place third-party cookies on your device.
Cookies We Do NOT Use
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Third-party behavioral profiling tools
- Cross-site tracking mechanisms
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can clear your localStorage and cookies at any time by clearing your browser's site data for GreatLakeRush.com. Note that doing so will also reset your virtual coin balance, game history, age verification status, and cookie consent preference.
Most modern browsers also allow you to block or restrict cookies globally. Instructions vary by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
