Cookies & storage
No cookie jar on this pier by default. Here is exactly what the games do keep, and where.
Last updated: November 2026
The short version
Arcade Marigold sets no cookies by default. To remember your balance and settings, the games use your browser’s local storage and session storage instead. That information stays on your device and is never sent to us.
What the games store on your device
Each item is named with the prefix amg: so you can recognise it in your browser’s developer tools.
| Item | Where | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
amg:credits | Local storage | Your Marigold Tokens balance |
amg:age | Local storage | That you confirmed you are 18 or over |
amg:rc | Local storage | Your reality-check reminder interval |
amg:lock | Local storage | When a break you chose comes to an end |
amg:stake:… | Local storage | The stake you last picked on each game |
amg:played, amg:secs | Session storage | Whether you have played this visit, and for how long, for reality checks |
amg:minor | Session storage | Keeps the games closed for the visit if you said you are under 18 |
Local storage items stay until you remove them. Session storage items disappear when you close the tab.
Google cookies, only if switched on
The operator may decide to measure visits and advertising with Google tags. If that happens, a banner will ask for your permission first, and no Google cookies are set unless you press Accept. Your choice is remembered in local storage under cc:consent. If you accept, Google may set:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics: tells visits apart | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics: keeps track of the current session | 2 years |
_gcl_au | Google Ads: measures whether an ad led to a visit | 90 days |
If you press Reject, the games work exactly the same and no Google cookies are set.
Changing your mind
To start again, clear this site’s data in your browser settings (often under “Site settings” or “Cookies and site data”). That removes your stored choice, so the banner returns next time if Google tags are in use. It also clears your balance and game settings. To clear only the game data, use “Forget my settings” on the responsible play page. For step-by-step help with your browser, see aboutcookies.org.
