Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 August 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. On the web version of Cropsicles we primarily use localStorage (a browser storage mechanism similar to cookies) to save your session and game preferences. This policy covers both cookies and localStorage usage on cropsicles.com.
2. What We Store
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cropsicles_token | localStorage | Authentication token -- keeps you signed in | 30 days |
| cropsicles_player | localStorage | Profile and progress cache -- avoids re-fetching on load | 30 days |
| cropsicles_cookie_consent | localStorage | Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again | Persistent |
| analyga.disabled | localStorage | Set only if you click Reject -- keeps analytics switched off | Persistent |
| cropsicles_vid | localStorage | Analytics visitor id -- recognises repeat visits. Set only if you click Accept | Persistent |
The first three are strictly essential for the Game to work and to remember your choice. analyga.disabled exists only to honour a Reject. cropsicles_vid is optional analytics and is only ever set after you click Accept; Reject deletes it.
3. What We Don't Use
We do not use:
- Third-party cookies of any kind
- Google Analytics or any analytics cookies (our analytics is cookieless, see section 4)
- Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or any advertising/marketing cookies
- Tracking pixels
- Browser fingerprinting
- Cross-site or cross-app tracking
- Retargeting or remarketing cookies
- Social media cookies or embeds
We believe in privacy by design. If we don't need it, we don't collect it.
4. Essential Storage and Optional Analytics
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), Regulation 6(4), strictly necessary cookies/storage are exempt from the consent requirement. Our essential items fall under this exemption -- without the authentication token the Game cannot keep you signed in.
We count visits with Analyga, a cookieless analytics service. It stores nothing on your device and sets no identifier; it records which page was viewed, the referring site, and your browser's screen size and language. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, it is respected.
Accept additionally sets the cropsicles_vid visitor id so we can recognise repeat visits and see which buttons get used. Reject Non-Essential switches all analytics off, including the cookieless visit count, and deletes that id. To change your choice later, clear this site's data in your browser and the notice will ask again.
5. Mobile Apps
The Cropsicles mobile apps (iOS and Android) do not use browser cookies. They store your progress locally on your device and, if you sign in, sync it to your account. The app stores may set their own identifiers for purchases and delivery, governed by Apple's and Google's own policies.
6. Payment Processing
If you make a purchase, the app store or payment processor may set their own cookies or identifiers during checkout. These are governed by their own policies and are not controlled by us.
7. Managing Your Storage
On the web you can clear localStorage at any time through your browser's developer tools (usually F12 > Application > Local Storage) or your browser's "Clear site data" settings. Clearing it will sign you out. On mobile you can clear the app's data through your device settings. You can inspect exactly what is stored at any time -- there are no hidden values.
