Cookie Policy — John Purcell Out of the Woods

This Cookie Policy explains how John Purcell Out of the Woods ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on johnpurcelloutofthewoods.com, our free social casino website. By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings or declined non-essential cookies via our cookie banner.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remaining on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use browser storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage, which function similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data locally on your device without sending it to our servers.

Types of Cookies We Use

Our social casino platform uses a minimal set of cookies and storage technologies, categorised as follows:

Strictly Necessary

These are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features such as age verification and cookie consent management would not work. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under most privacy regulations.

age_verified (sessionStorage): Stores your age verification confirmation for the current browser session. This prevents the age verification modal from appearing on every page during a single visit. Expires when the browser session ends.

Functional

These cookies and storage entries enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They remember choices you make to improve your experience on our social casino platform.

cookie_consent (localStorage): Stores your cookie consent preference as a JSON object containing an "accepted" boolean and a "timestamp" value. This prevents the cookie banner from reappearing after you have made a choice. Persists until you clear your browser data.

Analytics (If Applicable)

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our social casino website. Any analytics cookies used would collect anonymised, aggregated data about page views, session duration, and navigation patterns. We do not use analytics data to identify individual users or for advertising purposes. If analytics cookies are deployed, they will be disclosed here and can be declined via our cookie banner.

What We Do Not Use

Our social casino does not use:

Third-party advertising or tracking cookies;
Social media tracking pixels;
Cross-site tracking technologies;
Cookies related to real-money payment processing (as we do not accept real-money transactions).

How to Manage Cookie Settings

You have several options for controlling cookies and local storage on our website and in general:

Cookie banner: When you first visit johnpurcelloutofthewoods.com, our cookie banner allows you to accept or decline cookies. Clicking "Accept" stores your preference in localStorage. Clicking "Close" also stores a preference indicating you have dismissed the banner.
Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options under "Privacy", "Security", or "Settings". You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality, including age verification.
Clear local storage: To reset your cookie consent and age verification status, clear your browser's localStorage and sessionStorage data for johnpurcelloutofthewoods.com through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
