Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 12 October 2023

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit Wind-Up Toy Arcade. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we must inform you about these files. We also utilize local storage, which acts similarly, to save your Tension Springs balance so you can resume playing Gilded Gear Match without starting over.

2. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function securely and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as requesting a page load or saving your consent preferences for Wind-Up Toy Arcade.

3. Functional and Performance Cookies

We use functional storage to remember your progress in games like Clockwork Grid and your total Tension Springs. Performance cookies help us measure how visitors interact with our mechanical workshop, allowing us to improve the site's layout and game performance anonymously.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the right to choose whether to accept non-essential cookies. You can manage your consent via the banner that appears upon your first visit. Additionally, you can modify your browser settings to block or delete all cookies, though this will reset your Tension Springs balance to the starting amount.

5. Consent Mechanism

Upon entering Wind-Up Toy Arcade for the first time, you will be presented with a clear consent mechanism complying with ICO guidance. You must affirmatively opt-in to non-essential cookies, and you can withdraw this consent at any time through the footer link.
