Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This Cookie Policy applies to lionkinggamer.com, operated by Lion King Gamer Studios Limited. It explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. For information about your broader privacy rights, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have accepted our cookie notice. We also use similar technologies including browser localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data in your browser rather than as a traditional cookie file. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it covers all of these technologies.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep Lion King Gamer running, remember your preferences (such as whether you have dismissed the cookie banner or confirmed your age), and understand in aggregate how visitors navigate our games. We do not use cookies to build personal profiles, and we do not sell cookie data to anyone.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site running. Stores your cookie-consent choice and age-gate confirmation so we don't ask on every page load. No consent required. | __cc_v1 (consent preference), __age_ok (age-gate) | Session to 12 months |
| Performance / analytics | Anonymous traffic measurement — page views, session counts, device types — via Cloudflare Web Analytics. Data is aggregated; no individual users are identified. Set only with your consent. | __cf_bm (Cloudflare bot management, short-lived) | Up to 30 days |
| Functional | Remembers optional UI preferences — for example, game-widget volume settings or your mascot animation choice. Set only with your consent. | localStorage keys prefixed lgk_pref_ | Up to 12 months |
| Advertising / targeting | When you arrive at this site via a paid advertising campaign (for example, Google Ads or Microsoft Advertising), third-party ad-measurement cookies may be set with your consent. These are used to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns — not to build personal profiles. Providers: Google (see Google Cookie Policy) and Microsoft (see Microsoft Privacy Statement). Set only with your consent. | Google: _gcl_au, __gads. Microsoft: _uetsid, _uetvid | Up to 13 months |
4. Lawful Basis
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (IPP3) and the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, we collect personal information from cookies only where you have given informed consent or where we have a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your rights. Strictly necessary cookies (session management, security, consent record, age gate) are placed under legitimate interest — they are essential to deliver the service you have requested and require no consent. All other cookie categories (performance/analytics, functional, advertising) are placed only with your explicit opt-in consent, which you may withdraw at any time by clearing your browser storage or adjusting your preferences via the on-site banner.
5. How to Manage Your Cookies on Lion King Gamer
When you first visit the site, a consent banner offers two choices: Accept all (enables performance, functional, and advertising cookies in addition to strictly necessary ones) or Essential only (sets strictly necessary cookies only). Your choice is stored in localStorage.__cc_v1. To change your preference later, clear that key using your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage → lionkinggamer.com) or use the "Manage cookies" link in our footer if present. Clearing all site data from your browser will also reset all preferences.
6. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
Every major browser provides tools to view, block, or delete cookies. Instructions for the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari (macOS)
- Apple Safari (iOS)
- Microsoft Edge
- Brave Browser
- Opera
Note that blocking all cookies may prevent some parts of the site from functioning correctly.
7. Third-Party Cookies and Services
The following third parties may set cookies or process data when you visit this site (subject to your consent where required):
- Cloudflare — provides hosting, CDN, and security services. Cloudflare may set short-lived cookies for bot management and performance optimisation. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- Google — if you arrived via a Google Ads campaign, Google's ad-measurement cookies may be set (with consent). See Google's Cookie Policy.
- Microsoft — if you arrived via a Microsoft Advertising campaign, Microsoft's ad-measurement cookies may be set (with consent). See Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC header indicating that you do not wish to be tracked, we treat this as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and advertising cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be placed. The older Do Not Track (DNT) header is not a formally recognised standard and is not separately actioned by our platform, but GPC achieves the same result for users whose browsers support it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or the way we operate the site. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We recommend checking this page periodically.
