Cookie Policy
At My Gaming World, we believe arcade gaming should be fun, fast, and respectful of your privacy. This policy explains in clear, plain language what cookies and web storage technologies we use, why we use them, and how you retain full control over your preferences.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can review or change your cookie consent choices at any time with a single click. Your settings take effect immediately across all games on this device.
1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. Similar browser storage technologies include HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage.
On My Gaming World, we use these technologies to provide instant, seamless arcade gaming without requiring you to create an account or sign in. For instance, LocalStorage allows your personal high scores in Neon Snake, your tile configurations in 2048 Merge, and your bounty trophies in Monster Contract to remain saved on your device when you return later.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize all storage technologies and cookies into three clear types:
- Strictly Necessary (Always Active): These cookies and LocalStorage entries are essential for the operation of the website and games. They remember your cookie consent preferences, preserve active gameplay state, record local high scores, and store your audio mute/unmute preferences. They cannot be disabled because the games cannot function without them.
- Analytics & Performance (Optional): These items help us understand how players interact with the arcade. They measure page load speed, canvas frame rates, gameplay duration, and general game popularity trends. All data is aggregated and anonymized. They only activate if you click "Accept all" or turn on Analytics in "Customize".
- Advertising & Marketing (Optional): We occasionally partner with gaming networks to present non-intrusive arcade announcements, new tournament notices, and relevant promotional content. These scripts only load after you grant explicit consent for advertising.

4. Consent Manager & Script Execution
Unlike websites that load tracking scripts unconditionally before asking for permission, My Gaming World employs an active Client-Side Consent Manager:
- Optional analytics and advertising scripts are blocked by default and cannot execute unless you explicitly opt in.
- When you select "Reject non-essential", only gameplay high scores and core functions run; non-essential trackers are completely excluded.
- When you select "Accept all" or toggle specific categories in "Customize", our consent manager verifies your choice before activating corresponding scripts.
5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent
You are always in control. To update your choices:
- Click the link located in the footer of any page or in the header navigation.
- Adjust the toggles for Analytics & Performance or Advertising & Promotions.
- Click Save Choices. Your updated preferences apply immediately.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that clearing all browser storage will reset your saved arcade high scores and game progress:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
7. Policy Updates & Inquiries
We may occasionally update this Cookie Policy to reflect new games, updated regulatory guidance, or improved technical capabilities. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated effective date.
If you have questions regarding this policy or our privacy practices, you can contact our arcade team via our canonical portal at https://mygamingworld.online/.
