What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences — to make your next visit easier and the site more useful. Cookies cannot carry viruses or access information on your device.
PlayTopUK Social Games uses browser local storage as well as standard cookies to store your preferences. Local storage works similarly to cookies but stores slightly more data and is not transmitted with every HTTP request.
What We Store and Why
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ptuk_age_verified | Local Storage | Remembers that you've confirmed you are 18+ so you don't see the verification prompt on every visit | Until cleared |
| ptuk_coins | Local Storage | Stores your current virtual coin balance so it persists between sessions | Until cleared |
| ptuk_cookie_consent | Local Storage | Remembers your response to the cookie consent banner so it doesn't reappear | Until cleared |
We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking. We do not share any cookie data with advertisers or data brokers. Our cookies exist solely to improve your experience on our platform.
Third-Party Cookies
Our Platform may load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google may set their own cookies or use local caching when serving these fonts. We encourage you to review Google's privacy policy if you have concerns about this. You can prevent Google Fonts by using a browser extension that blocks CDN requests.
How to Manage Cookies
You have full control over the data stored in your browser. You can manage cookies and local storage through your browser's settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data
Note that clearing local storage will reset your coin balance and age verification status. You'll receive a fresh welcome coin allocation on your next visit.
