Cookie policy

Short answer first: by default, Velvet Reel Club sets no cookies at all. The games remember your chips and settings using your browser’s local storage, which stays on your device and is never sent to us. This page explains what is stored, what could change, and how to clear it.

What the games keep on your device

Local storage and session storage are small private notebooks your browser keeps for each website. The Club writes only these entries, all starting with vrc::

Key	What it holds	How long
vrc:credits	Your Velvet Chips balance	Until you clear it
vrc:age	That you confirmed you are 18 or over	Until you clear it
vrc:stake:<game>	The stake you last chose at each table	Until you clear it
vrc:rc	Your reality-check interval	Until you clear it
vrc:lock	When a break you chose ends	Until you clear it
vrc:played, vrc:secs, vrc:minor	Session notes: that you started playing, minutes played, and an under-18 answer	Session storage, gone when you close the tab

These entries are strictly necessary for the games you choose to play, so they don’t need a consent banner. None of them identify you.

If Google measurement is switched on

The operator may decide to measure visits with Google tags. If so, a banner will appear on your first visit, and no Google cookie is set unless you choose “Accept”. Your choice itself is remembered in local storage as cc:consent. With consent, these cookies may be set:

Cookie	Purpose	Lifetime
_ga	Google Analytics: tells visits apart, for aggregated statistics	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics: keeps track of the current session	2 years
_gcl_au	Google Ads: measures whether a visit came from an advert	90 days

If you decline, the Club works exactly the same. More on how Google handles data is in our Privacy notice.

Changing your mind

To start again, clear this site’s data in your browser: in most browsers, open the padlock or site-information icon next to the address, then choose to clear cookies and site data. That removes any Google cookies, your consent choice and your game data, and the banner will ask again on your next visit if measurement is switched on. You can also use “Forget my settings” on the responsible play page to remove the game entries only.
