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 efficiently and provide information to website owners.
Totem Cedar Grove uses minimal cookies and primarily relies on browser localStorage for functionality.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar storage technologies for limited, essential purposes only. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across websites, or building user profiles.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
- Cookie consent cookies: Remember your cookie preferences
Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for basic site functionality.
Local Storage
We primarily use browser localStorage (not technically cookies) to store:
- Your spirit coin balance
- Game progress and preferences
- Age verification status
- Daily reward tracking
This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

- Advertising cookies: We do not serve ads or use advertising networks

Expire when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies
Cookie consent preference is stored until you clear it or change browsers. This allows us to remember your choice not to see the cookie banner repeatedly.
Local Storage
Data in localStorage persists until you manually clear it through browser settings or site functions. It does not expire automatically.
