Cookies & Storage Policy

Effective Date: October 2026

01How BrowserTopia Utilizes Storage

Unlike traditional PC games that demand 50GB+ installation files, BrowserTopia runs natively inside your modern web browser using HTML5 Canvas2D and binary WebSockets.

To maintain your authenticated session, remember your audio levels, preserve your custom keybindings, and safeguard against bot attacks, we use standard browser storage mechanisms: HTTP Cookies and the Web Storage API (localStorage).

03Tracking Practices We Strictly Reject

Essential Functional Storage

Strictly needed to load worlds, save inventory, join clans, and play safely.

Zero Invasive Spyware

No cross-site tracking pixels, no keystroke loggers, zero data broker sales.

04Google Consent Management Platform (CMP)

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and European privacy directives, visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland are presented with Google's certified Consent Management Platform upon their initial visit.

Managing Your Preferences: You may modify or revoke your consent preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies or clicking the privacy options link presented in the game footer.

05How to Clear or Reset Your Local Storage

You maintain total control over your local browser data and can clear it at any time:

In Google Chrome / Chromium: Open Settings > Privacy and Security > Delete browsing data, or press F12 > Application > Clear site data.
In Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
In Apple Safari: Open Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data.

*Note: Clearing local storage logs you out of the current active session and restores default keybindings. Your character level, gems, and inventory remain safely stored on our server database.
