Understanding our use of cookies

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

PlayBestWebGames.UK uses minimal cookies, focusing only on essential functionality. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across websites, or profiling users.

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies that are necessary for the platform to function properly:

  • Age Verification: Remembers that you have confirmed being 18 or older
  • Cookie Consent: Remembers your cookie preference choices

These cookies are essential for the platform to operate and cannot be disabled if you wish to use our services.

3. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save:

  • Game progress and virtual credit balances
  • Game preferences and settings
  • User interface preferences
