Local Storage: Virtual Coins Stay on Your Device
The core feature of the platform is its virtual coin system. When you play games like Mines, your balance and game state are stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage or sessionStorage). This data remains on your specific device and browser instance. It is not uploaded to a central server because there is no user account to associate it with.
- No Cloud Backup: If you clear your browser cache or switch devices, your virtual coin balance resets. This is by design, not a bug.
- No Personal Link: Since no account exists, your gaming history cannot be linked to your identity unless you voluntarily provide it for other purposes.
Anonymous Analytics Counter
The site uses a simple, anonymous analytics counter to track general traffic patterns. This tool collects data such as:
- Page views
- Referral sources
- Device type (mobile/desktop)
- General geographic region (country-level, not city-specific)
This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It is used solely to understand which games are popular and to ensure the site functions correctly. Personal profiles are not created.
Cookies: Essential vs. Analytical
The platform uses two main types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: These are required for the game to run. They store your current game state, such as the number of mines selected or the current multiplier. Without these, the game interface would not function.
- Analytics Cookies: These help the site understand how visitors use the platform. They are anonymized and do not track you across other websites.
You can manage these cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break the game demo.
Comparison with the Operator's Official Platform
Unlike the operator's official platform, which may require account registration for real-money play and thus collects more personal data (KYC, payment info), this independent demo site keeps your activity entirely local. The operator's official app or site may use more extensive tracking for marketing and regulatory compliance. For this demo, your privacy is preserved by design.
Quick Checklist: Protecting Your Privacy
To ensure your data remains local and private, consider these simple steps:
- Clear Cache Regularly: If you want to reset your virtual balance completely, clear your browser's local storage and cache.
- Use Incognito Mode: Playing in incognito or private browsing mode ensures that no local storage data persists after you close the tab.
- Disable Third-Party Cookies: Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, which can help limit analytics tracking.
