Cookie & Storage Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ChitChat4U Games uses cookies and browser storage (such as `localStorage` and Session state) to optimize your playing experience.

1. Session State (Essential Cookies)

We use standard ASP.NET Core session keys (specifically `"GameState"`, `"TicTacToeState"`, `"PacManState"`, and `"GridRunnerState"`) to store active board configurations, current game difficulties, turn indicators, move logs, and win/loss tallies on the server side. These sessions are destroyed when you close your browser or after periods of inactivity.

2. Local Storage (Preferences)

We store toggle configurations locally in your web browser (via `localStorage`) to remember your personal game selections. Examples include:

• `chess_sound_enabled` - tracks whether you want to hear moves, captures, check alerts, or arpeggios.
• High scores - cached offline records for PAC-MAN or Grid Runner performance.

3. Third-Party Tracker Cookies

ChitChat4U Games **does not** load third-party ad networks, telemetry trackers, or profiling cookies. We respect user privacy and do not sell, track, or share any personal gameplay data with third parties.
