No cookies by default
Out of the box, Play Jovaro sets no cookies at all: no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no tracking pixels. Our hosting provider may use strictly necessary security measures to protect the site from abuse, but we don't use cookies to recognize you or follow you around the web.
What the games keep in local storage
Instead of cookies, the games use your browser's local storage and session storage. These are small notes kept on your device and read only by the Play Jovaro pages. They are never sent to us. Each key starts with pjv:.
| Key | What it remembers | How long |
|---|---|---|
pjv:credits | Your Jovaro Coins balance | Until you clear it |
pjv:age | That you confirmed you are 19 or older | Until you clear it |
pjv:stake:… | The stake or chip you last picked in each game | Until you clear it |
pjv:rc | Your reality-check interval | Until you clear it |
pjv:lock | When a break you chose comes to an end | Until you clear it |
pjv:played, pjv:secs, pjv:minor | Session details: that you started playing, how long you have played and any "under 19" answer | Until you close the tab |
If Google tags are switched on
The operator may choose to turn on Google measurement tags. If so, a banner will ask before anything is set, and the cookies below are only stored if you press Accept. Your choice is remembered in local storage under cc:consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics: tells visits from different browsers apart | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics: keeps the state of the current session | 2 years |
_gcl_au | Google Ads: links ad clicks to visits for conversion measurement | 90 days |

Changing your mind
To start over, clear this site's data in your browser settings (often under "Site settings" or "Cookies and site data"). That removes the game notes above, any Google cookies and your consent choice, so the banner will ask again next time if tags are on. To clear only your balance, age confirmation and reminder setting, use "Forget my settings" on our responsible play page; a break you have chosen stays in place until it ends.
