Digital Storage Disclosure

Cookie Policy

Comprehensive breakdown of cookies, HTML5 local storage, and client-side caching mechanisms deployed across the Nuvanta Games web portal in full compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and EU ePrivacy Directive.

  • 01

    Purpose and Scope of This Cookie Policy

    This Cookie Policy explains how Sportix Ltd (trading as Nuvanta Games) uses cookies, pixel tags, local storage objects (Web Storage API), and related browser storage technologies across the nuvantagames.com domain. Our objective is to ensure complete transparency regarding what data is stored on your device, for what duration, and for what technical purpose, upholding the highest standards of the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

  • 02

    Definition of Cookies and Web Storage Technologies

    Cookies are small alphanumeric text files stored within your web browser directory when you access our website. Alongside standard HTTP cookies, modern interactive web gaming applications utilize browser-native Web Storage technologies, specifically sessionStorage and localStorage, as well as IndexedDB cache systems. These mechanisms permit lightweight technical data retention directly within the client terminal without sending identification headers on every server request.

  • 03

    Strictly Necessary Technical Storage

    Strictly necessary cookies and storage elements are essential for the fundamental operation of our portal. They enable security verifications, session stability, network request routing, and basic user interface state management (such as responsive menu toggling and iframe player viewport scaling). Under UK PECR Regulation 6(4), strictly necessary cookies are exempt from prior consent requirements because our services cannot function properly without them.

  • 04

    Client-Side WebGL Game State and Asset Caching

    When you load interactive demonstration titles in our in-house game player (such as Kingdom of Elves or Pharaonic Legacy), the underlying WebGL canvas engines utilize browser sessionStorage and temporary asset caches. This local storage retains your non-monetary virtual amusement point tallies, active sound volume toggles, reel spin animations, and preloaded sprite textures. This data is confined entirely to your local device sandbox and is never transmitted to advertising networks or third-party brokers.

  • 05

    Absence of Commercial Advertising and Retargeting Cookies

    Nuvanta Games operates exclusively as an independent creative game engineering studio. Our website does not host third-party programmatic display advertisements, retargeting pixels, commercial ad exchange cookies, or affiliate marketing trackers. We do not participate in behavioral cross-site retargeting or digital advertising arbitrage. As a result, no advertising identifier cookies from third-party ad networks are placed on your terminal.

  • 06

    Absence of Invasive Behavioral Profiling Beacons

    We strictly reject third-party behavioral profiling beacons, keystroke loggers, and invasive session-recording tools that monitor user interactions across disparate websites. Any telemetry captured is purely aggregate, non-personalized server diagnostic metrics (such as HTTP response status codes and bandwidth consumption) necessary to maintain uptime and mitigate denial-of-service disruptions.

  • 07

    Corporate Inquiry Form Security and Session Tokens

    When prospective clients submit development requests or project briefs via our RFP inquiry forms, short-lived cryptographic security tokens may be temporarily preserved in session memory. These tokens prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) automated spam exploits and preserve input values if a validation error occurs during transmission. These tokens automatically expire upon browser tab closure.

  • 08

    User Control and Browser-Level Cookie Management

    You possess the uncompromised right to inspect, restrict, block, or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, alert you before a cookie is placed, or wipe all cached site data upon closing your application. Instructions for managing cookie preferences are available across all primary browser engines:

    • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies > Clear browsing data.
    • Apple Safari: Preferences / Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Block all cookies.
    • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Clear Data.
    • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
  • 09

    Retention Lifespans and Automated Expiration Protocols

    We categorize all client storage according to strict lifespan limits:

    • Session Elements: Cleared automatically the moment your browser session concludes or the tab is closed.
    • Persistent Client Preferences: Stored for a maximum duration of 12 months, after which they automatically expire and require fresh re-initialization.
    • Game Asset Cache: Managed directly by your browser cache policies and purgeable at any time via standard browser cache cleanup commands.
  • 10

    Prohibition of Flash Cookies and Device Fingerprinting

    Nuvanta Games explicitly prohibits the deployment of Local Shared Objects (Flash cookies), HTML5 canvas fingerprinting, audio context fingerprinting, or battery status API sniffing techniques designed to construct covert hardware profiles of visitors. We uphold genuine privacy principles and do not deploy covert methods to circumvent your chosen browser privacy settings.

  • 11

    Cross-Border Data Transfers and International Regulatory Alignment

    Because our technical storage is client-terminal bound, no cookie identifiers or web storage payloads are transferred to third-party databases outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA). All server communications are encrypted via Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3), ensuring that communication headers cannot be intercepted or modified in transit.

  • 12

    Sandboxed Game Iframes and Origin Isolation

    Our in-house social games run within native sandboxed HTML iframe containers originating from the local `/slots/` directory. These frames respect the browser Same-Origin Policy (SOP). They do not access parent window authentication credentials, external browsing histories, or external device storage outside their designated game canvas container.

  • 13

    Policy Amendment Protocols and Version Governance

    We reserve the right to revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our technical architecture, browser privacy standards, or applicable statutory mandates (such as updates to the UK Data Protection and Digital Information framework). Any revisions will be published directly on this page with an updated effective date. Continued navigation of our portal following the publication of revised terms constitutes acknowledgement of the updated provisions.
