What Are Cookies & Local Web Storage Tokens
Cookies are compact alphanumeric text files downloaded to your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. HTML5 local storage functions analogously by storing persistent data keys directly inside your browser cache. These technologies enable web platforms to recognize your device across multiple visits, remember your interface settings, and ensure essential security protocols operate smoothly.
- Cookies cannot execute code, transmit malware, or extract personal files from your hard drive.
- Local storage tokens are used primarily to record whether you have verified being 18+ and acknowledged cookies.

Applicable Legislative Framework (UK, EEA & Italy)

- Non-essential cookies require active, informed, opt-in consent before being deployed.

Strictly Necessary & Technical Security Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for our website to execute fundamental operations. These include session verification, load balancing, preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and maintaining connection stability with game demo providers. Because our platform cannot function securely without them, these cookies do not require prior consent under PECR and ePrivacy rules.

Functional Preferences & 18+ Age Verification Tokens
Functional tokens are utilized to remember your explicit choices and preferences across page transitions. These tokens store your confirmation that you are 18+ so that the age gate does not interrupt your subsequent page views, and store your cookie banner decision so that prompts are not continually displayed on every visit.
- Key: sga_age_verified - Stores 18+ affirmative adult verification status for 30 days.
- Key: sga_cookie_consent - Records your cookie preferences (accepted_all or essential_only).

Performance Analytics & Anonymized Telemetry
We utilize lightweight, aggregated performance telemetry to monitor platform stability, page load speed, and server response times. This operational telemetry is completely anonymized by masking IP addresses (truncating the final octet) and does not track individual user behavior across external websites.
- Telemetry is aggregated and used strictly to improve device compatibility on mobile and desktop.
- No analytical profiles are assembled or connected to user identity records.

Third-Party Demonstration Game Iframe Cookies
When launching demo games inside our on-site modal player (such as Hyper Gold All In, Ancient Tumble, Mermaid's Win & Spin, or Luck O The Irish Gold Spins), third-party game studio servers (ValueActive, Cloudfront, Inspired Virgo, NYX Malta) may set temporary functional session cookies required to render slot reel animations, manage virtual token balances, and handle sound assets.
- These cookies operate within isolated sandbox iframes strictly for free demo execution.
- Closing the game modal terminates active iframe communication with provider servers.

Impact of Blocking All Cookies on Platform Functionality
While you are free to block all cookies through browser settings, doing so may impact your user experience on solglimtas.com. Specifically, disabling functional storage tokens will cause the 18+ verification prompt to reappear on each navigation step, and third-party slot demo iframes may fail to initialize sound assets or keep virtual demo credits synchronized.
- Allowing functional storage ensures optimal speed and uninterrupted demo gameplay.
- Essential security protections remain required for basic web page delivery.
