Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Local storage keys perform a similar function in modern browsers. World of Digital Play uses these technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand aggregated usage where permitted.

Cookie Categories

1. Strictly necessary. Required for navigation, security, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
2. Preference storage. We store your cookie banner choice under the key cookie_consent in localStorage when you click Accept or Close, so the banner behaviour matches your selection.
3. Session management. Short-lived identifiers may be issued by our hosting provider to maintain secure connections during a browsing session.
4. Analytics (optional). If enabled in future releases, anonymised analytics would measure page performance. Such tools would only run after explicit consent where required by UK law.
5. Third-party embeds. Map iframes on the Contacts page may set their own cookies governed by the map provider’s policy. We load embeds lazily to reduce unnecessary tracking.
6. Affiliate links. Outbound booking links may append tracking parameters. Partner sites may place cookies when you land on their domains; review their notices at checkout.
7. Duration. Consent records persist until you clear site data. Session cookies expire when you close the browser unless otherwise stated by infrastructure vendors.
8. First-party scope. Primary cookies are first-party to worldofdigitalplay.pro. We minimise cross-site tracking on editorial pages.
9. Consent mechanism. The fixed banner at the bottom of each page explains cookie use and links to this policy and the Privacy Policy.
10. Withdrawal. You may withdraw consent by clearing localStorage and cookies for this domain through browser settings, then revisiting the site.
11. Browser controls. Major browsers allow blocking third-party cookies, deleting history, and sending Do Not Track signals. Behaviour varies by manufacturer.
12. Mobile devices. Operating systems provide advertising identifiers and reset tools separate from browser cookies. Consult device settings for details.
13. Updates. We will revise this list if new tools are deployed. Significant changes appear with an updated date above.
14. Contact. Questions about cookies may be sent via the Contacts form with the subject line “Cookie enquiry”.
15. Legal basis. Strictly necessary storage relies on legitimate interests; optional analytics would rely on consent under UK GDPR and PECR where applicable.
