1. What we use
The hub uses the browser's localStorage API, not HTTP cookies. The data lives only on your device and is not sent to any server.
2. Every key we write
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| northplayroom_age_verified | Remembers that you confirmed you meet the required age, so the age gate is not shown again on this device. |
| northplayroom_storage_choice | Stores your storage preference choice (essential only or accept all) for the session and future visits. |
| northplayroom_sound_pref | Remembers whether you prefer sound effects on or off in the games. |
| northplayroom_<game-slug>_coins | Holds the virtual coin balance for each of the three games. Virtual coins have no monetary value. |
| northplayroom_<game-slug>_last_daily | Timestamp of the last daily virtual coin top-up so the daily refresh can be granted once per 24 hours. |
| northplayroom_<game-slug>_state | Optional in-progress game state (e.g. selected bet size) so a refresh does not lose your seat. |
Where the key includes <game-slug>, the slug is one of maple-draw, northern-reels, or aurora-wheel.
3. What we do not use
- No third-party advertising cookies.
- No marketing or remarketing pixels.
- No analytics tracking that profiles individual visitors.
- No cross-site identifiers.
Public fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which sees your IP address to deliver the font files. That's the extent of third-party connections from the page.
4. Choosing essential only or accept all
The first time you enter the hub, a small notice asks you to accept storage or use only the essentials. Today, both options behave the same way because we don't load any non-essential storage. The choice is recorded so the notice doesn't appear again, and it gives us a clear consent record if non-essential storage is ever added.
5. Deleting locally stored data
- Open your browser's site-data settings (in Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → View permissions and data stored across sites).
- Find the entry for northplayroom.com.
- Choose Clear data. All keys above are removed.
- Reload the hub. The age gate and storage notice will appear again on your next visit.
You can also reset a single game's balance from its rules panel. That action removes only that game's coin-balance and last-daily keys.
6. Updates
If we ever add new keys (for example, a sound preference toggle), we'll add them to the table above. The list on this page is intended to be the authoritative one.
