Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide reporting information to site owners.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, GoldenReefTables — are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable services or functionality to be provided by a third party, such as analytics or advertising platforms.
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. We use both types on GoldenReefTables.

| Performance | Collect anonymised data about how visitors use the platform — which pages are visited most, where users encounter errors, and how long pages take to load. This helps us identify and fix performance bottlenecks. | Up to 2 years | Yes — via preferences panel |
| Functional | Remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred language, display settings, notification preferences, and whether you have dismissed certain in-game messages or tutorials. | Up to 1 year | Yes — via preferences panel |
| Analytics | Provide aggregated statistical data about player behaviour and platform usage patterns. This helps us understand how the Service is used at scale, measure the effectiveness of new features, and guide product development decisions. | Up to 2 years | Yes — via preferences panel |
