Cookie Policy
Last updated
This Cookie Policy explains how Aurora Flow uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website. It applies to visitors aged 21+.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have seen certain messages.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies (they expire when you close your browser), or
- Persistent cookies (they stay on your device for a set period, unless you delete them).
Similar technologies we may use
We also use similar tools that store or read information on your device.
- Pixels/tags: small pieces of code that help measure activity (for example, whether a page loaded or a feature was used).
- localStorage: browser storage that can keep information such as your cookie consent choices so the banner does not show on every visit.
- sessionStorage: browser storage that lasts for the current browser session. For example, it may store an age-gate confirmation during a session so you do not have to confirm again on each page.
Like cookies, these technologies can be essential for the site to work, or optional depending on their purpose.
How we use cookies and similar technologies
Aurora Flow is a free-to-play social casino game library. We do not offer real-money gambling and there is no cash-out. Cookies and similar technologies help us:
- run the site securely and reliably,
- remember settings you choose,
- understand how the site is used so we can improve it, and
- support marketing/advertising where you allow it.
Cookie categories
Essential (strictly necessary)
What it does: These cookies and similar technologies are required for core site features and security. Without them, the site may not function properly.
Optional? No. These are used because they are necessary to provide the website.
Practical examples:
- keeping the site stable and protecting it from abuse,
- remembering basic choices needed to load the site (for example, whether you dismissed a notice in the current session),
- storing your cookie consent status so we can respect it on future visits.
Performance / Analytics
What it does: These technologies help us understand how visitors use the website. We use this information to improve pages, navigation, and game performance.
Optional? Yes. We only use these where you consent (where required by law).
Practical examples:
- counting visits and identifying which pages are used most,
- measuring errors or load times to improve reliability,
- understanding broad usage patterns (for example, device type or browser version).
Functional
What it does: These technologies remember choices you make to give you a more consistent experience.
Optional? Usually yes. Some functional storage may be treated as essential if it is required to provide a feature you request.
Practical examples:
- remembering language or region-related preferences (where available),
- keeping settings for how content is displayed,
- remembering that you completed an age-gate step during your session (often stored in sessionStorage).
Marketing / Advertising
What it does: These technologies may be used to measure marketing activity and show more relevant ads on this or other sites.
Optional? Yes. We only use these where you consent (where required by law).
Practical examples:
- limiting how often you see the same advert,
- measuring whether a marketing campaign led to a visit,
- building audience groups based on general browsing behaviour (depending on your settings and the partner involved).
Consent and preference storage
When you set your cookie preferences, we store your choices locally on your device (for example, using localStorage or a cookie). This helps us remember your settings so you are not asked on every visit.
If you confirm the 21+ age-gate, we may store a temporary confirmation for your current session (for example, using sessionStorage). This is used to reduce repeated prompts during the same session.
How to manage cookies and withdraw consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
- On-site controls: Use our cookie banner or any cookie preference controls we provide on the site to review and update your choices.
- Browser/device settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Many browsers also let you clear site data, including localStorage and sessionStorage.
If you block essential cookies or clear required site data, parts of Aurora Flow may not work as expected.
Third-party services
Some cookies and similar technologies may be set by third parties that provide services such as analytics or advertising. These third parties may process information collected through their technologies under their own policies.
We aim to use third-party services in a way that supports privacy and choice, but we do not control how third parties operate their technologies once enabled.
Retention (how long cookies last)
How long a cookie or similar technology remains on your device depends on its purpose:
- Session storage ends when you close your browser (or when the session ends).
- Persistent storage remains until it expires or you delete it.
Retention periods vary. Some items are kept only for minutes or hours. Others may last longer to remember preferences or measure site performance over time.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or how Aurora Flow works. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
