What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They allow the site to remember information between visits, such as your preferences or game progress.

Third-party cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) to understand aggregate, anonymous usage patterns — for example, how many people visit the site. Google may set its own cookies (such as _ga) to distinguish visitors. These cookies do not identify you personally.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
