Cookies & browser storage

Updated 19 October 2026 · Bookie Lounge, Auckland, New Zealand

This page explains storage used by bookielounge.online and its community. See our privacy notice for personal information, requests and contact details.

Essential sign-in and security

• forum_session / bookie_session: signed account sessions, up to 30 days. Logging out removes sign-in cookies.
• forum_csrf: protects community forms; normally expires when the browser session ends.
• oauth_google_state / oauth_discord_state: checks a sign-in request when you choose that provider; up to 10 minutes.
• Cloudflare may use security cookies to protect requests. These depend on its security checks and are governed by Cloudflare's policy.

Optional embedded content

Kick players/chat and the Discord widget are blocked until you choose to enable external content. Enabling an embed sends connection details, including your IP address and browser information, to that provider; it may use cookies or account information under its own policy. You can use ordinary external links instead.

Your embed choice is remembered in this browser for up to 180 days under bookie_external_content_v1. If browser storage is blocked, the choice applies only to this page. Blocking embeds again stops future loads and removes currently loaded embeds here; it cannot undo information already sent or erase cookies held by another provider.

Arcade and offline features

Arcade preferences, local scores and reset markers may remain in browser storage until cleared. Shared leaderboard entries are server records and are not removed by clearing cookies. The optional installed website uses a service worker and browser cache for offline pages. Browser settings let you clear site data or remove the installed app.

Analytics and third parties

The reviewed public-page source does not contain a Google Analytics or advertising pixel installation. Operational server logs and Cloudflare security/delivery processing still occur. Our owner-only Workshop reads social-post performance from connected platforms; that is separate from visitor tracking. External social links and remote icon images can also send connection information when followed or loaded. This notice does not claim those services collect nothing.

Your choices and questions

Blocking necessary cookies can prevent sign-in and secure forms from working. You can clear this website's cookies and storage in browser settings. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions or account-data requests.
