Cookie Policy

1. Overview & Company Notice

This Cookie Policy explains how Zynga In. ("we", "us", or "our"), with corporate headquarters at 699 8th St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA, uses cookies and similar client-side web technologies on zyngagamess.com.

Our website serves as an independent game developer portal. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising cookies, gambling affiliate trackers, or commercial surveillance networks.

2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small alphanumeric text files stored on your browser when visiting websites. Similar browser storage technologies, including HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage, permit web applications to maintain functional state across multiple page interactions.

3. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

We restrict our use of storage to strictly necessary and basic operational utilities:

A. Strictly Necessary & Compliance Cookies

• Age Gate Token (age_ok / age_verified): Preserves your 19+ age verification response for 30 days so you are not prompted repeatedly during a single session.
• Session & Security Tokens: Ensures that forms submitted on our contact page are protected against cross-site request forgery and automated bot traffic.

B. Functional Game State Storage (HTML5 Local Storage)

• Simulated Gold Coin Counter: Stores your current virtual demo balance (starting at 5,000 GC) and in-game audio volume preferences locally within your browser's private sandbox. This data never leaves your device.

C. Analytical Telemetry (Anonymized)

We collect aggregate, non-personally identifiable technical telemetry (such as screen dimensions and browser types) to ensure our WebGL canvas modules render correctly across modern operating systems.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the right to accept, reject, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Strictly necessary storage (such as the age verification token) is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a lawful, age-restricted website. Any non-essential storage is used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, with your consent.

6. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

All cookies and storage entries described in this policy are first-party: they are set by zyngagamess.com and read only by our own scripts. Our games, sprites and audio are hosted on our own servers, so playing a game does not place cookies from external casino networks or ad exchanges on your device.

7. Cookie Retention Periods

• Age verification cookie (age_ok): up to 30 days, then deleted automatically by your browser.
• Local storage entries (age_verified, demo balance, sound settings): kept until you clear your browser data.
• Session storage: removed as soon as you close the browser tab.

8. No Advertising or Profiling Cookies

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, to retarget you on other websites, or to sell or share browsing data with data brokers. We do not use cookies to evaluate gambling behaviour or to promote real-money gambling services.

9. Cookies and Minors

Our website is intended only for adults aged 19 or older. We do not knowingly store cookies for the purpose of identifying or tracking minors. If you choose "No" in the age verification window, you are redirected to an information page and no game-state storage is created.

10. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control

Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking, our practices are the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. We respect these signals and will never use them as a reason to restrict access to the site.

11. Clearing Game Data from Your Device

You can reset your virtual demo balance, sound settings and age verification status at any time by clearing site data for zyngagamess.com in your browser settings or by using a private browsing window. Clearing this data does not affect anything on our servers, because the data never leaves your device.

12. International Visitors

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada and other regions are covered by the same minimal-storage approach described above. Where local law grants you additional rights regarding cookies, Zynga In. will honour those rights upon request.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features or when legal requirements change. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page will always show the date of the latest revision. Continued use of the website after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
