Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Wandering Nurse Games uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on thewanderingnurseblog.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. They let the website remember information between visits, such as your preferences or that you have dismissed a notification. First-party cookies are set by the site you visit; third-party cookies are set by services embedded on that site.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and the localStorage API. Our games use localStorage to save high scores locally on your device.
Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Enable core functionality like remembering your cookie-consent choice. | cookie_consent | Yes |
| Functional (localStorage) | Save game high scores and preferences locally on your device. | snake_best, rt_best | Optional |
| Analytics | Collect aggregate, anonymous data about how the Site is used. | _ga, _gid (Google Analytics) | Optional |
| Advertising | Serve and measure display advertising. | IDE, ANID (Google AdSense) | Optional |
Third-party services
Google AdSense
Google AdSense displays advertisements on the Site. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. Learn more at Google's advertising technologies page or opt out at Google Ad Settings.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
How to control cookies
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block all or third-party cookies, or delete cookies when closing the browser.
- Industry opt-outs. In the U.S., aboutads.info. In the EU, Your Online Choices.
- Do Not Track. We honor DNT signals for our own analytics, but we cannot guarantee third-party advertising partners honor them.
- Site consent. The cookie-consent banner on our homepage lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Consequences of blocking cookies
Blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the Site to malfunction. Blocking localStorage prevents game high scores from saving between sessions. Blocking analytics and advertising cookies does not affect playability; it only reduces our ability to improve the Site and serve relevant ads.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date indicates the most recent revision.
