1. What Are Cookies and LocalStorage Tokens?
Cookies are small text strings stored by your web browser when you visit a website, while HTML5 `localStorage` provides a lightweight client-side key-value store inside your browser profile. On ausobeliskrustloop.com, we rely primarily on `localStorage` tokens to remember your privacy choices without transmitting unnecessary tracking headers on every HTTP request.
2. How AusObelisk RustLoop Categorizes Browser Storage
Our Consent Mode architecture divides browser storage into two distinct categories that you can inspect and adjust at any time:
- Strictly Necessary Storage (Always Active): Essential for remembering whether you have dismissed our cookie notice, storing your selected telemetry preferences (`als_cookie_consent_v1`), and maintaining basic navigation stability. Because the portal cannot remember your privacy opt-out without storing that decision locally, this token cannot be disabled.
- Aggregated Performance Telemetry (Optional): When enabled, anonymous counters help our Melbourne engineering desk understand which browser genres (such as Racing, Strategy, or Physics Puzzles) receive the highest interest and measure page load latency across Australian broadband providers.
3. Inventory of Storage Keys Used on This Portal
Key Name: als_cookie_consent_v1
Storage Mechanism: Browser localStorage
Purpose: Stores a JSON record of your Consent Mode decision (Necessary Only vs. Analytics Enabled) and timestamp.
Retention Period: 180 days (or until manually cleared in your browser settings).
4. Third-Party Publisher Storage After Leaving Our Portal
As highlighted in our technical overview, many modern HTML5 and WebGL games use browser `IndexedDB` and `localStorage` on their own domains to save your guest game progress, vehicle setups, and audio volume settings without forcing account registration. Those storage buckets exist strictly on the external publisher's domain once you click "Play Now" and are never accessible to ausobeliskrustloop.com.
5. Modifying Your Preferences at Any Time
You can update or revoke your optional telemetry consent immediately by clicking the "Cookie Consent Settings" button in the footer of any page on our website. You may also clear all site storage directly through your browser controls (in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari under Privacy & Security → Site Data).
