Understanding how ArcadeVirell uses cookies to keep your voyage smooth and secure.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — your computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners a basic understanding of how their platform is being used. Think of a cookie as a tiny message in a bottle: we send it to your device, and when you return to our shores, your browser hands it back to us so we know you have been here before and can pick up roughly where you left off.
Cookies do not contain viruses, do not run programmes on your machine, and cannot access any other data stored on your device. They are passive pieces of information and exist only to improve your experience aboard the ArcadeVirell platform.
ArcadeVirell is a free, points-based social entertainment platform. We use cookies strictly for the purposes described below and never for advertising profiling or the sale of your data to third parties.
These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They maintain your session state, remember your age-verification consent, and keep the card tables stable throughout your visit. Without them the site cannot operate at all.
We use anonymised analytics cookies to understand which sections of ArcadeVirell are most popular, how long players spend at the tables, and where technical errors occur. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
Preference cookies remember choices you have made — such as your preferred tavern room, language settings, or notification preferences — so you do not have to reconfigure things every time you return to the platform.
Cookies we place fall into two duration categories. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it — they handle things like keeping you logged into your current game round. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (typically between 30 and 365 days, depending on purpose) and allow ArcadeVirell to recognise you on your next visit so you can continue your voyage without starting from scratch.
All persistent cookies we set have a defined expiry date. We do not use cookies that persist indefinitely.
ArcadeVirell may use limited third-party services for anonymised performance analytics. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and process data only in aggregated, non-identifiable form. We do not permit third-party advertising networks to place cookies through our platform. ArcadeVirell is an ad-free experience and intends to remain so.
Responsible gaming partners whose logos appear in our footer may set their own cookies if you choose to visit their websites by clicking through. Those cookies are governed by the respective partner's policies, not ours.
You have full control over cookies. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner displayed on your first visit. You may also manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view all cookies currently stored, delete individual cookies, block all cookies from specific sites, or block third-party cookies entirely.
Please be aware that disabling essential cookies will prevent ArcadeVirell from working correctly — certain features such as session persistence and age-verification memory will no longer function. Analytics and preference cookies can be declined without affecting your ability to play. We respect whichever choice you make and will not penalise you for opting out of non-essential cookies.
Changes to this Policy: ArcadeVirell may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our platform practices. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the platform after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
