Cookie Policy

Buckvale stores a few things on your device to work, and uses analytics cookies only if you say yes.

Always on (strictly necessary)

These don't need consent because the game can't work without them:

• Your sign-in (local storage bv.token), so you stay signed in.
• Game settings such as sound, music and reduced effects (local storage), and your cookie choice itself (bv.consent).
• An offline copy of the game files (service worker cache), so it loads fast and survives a bad connection.
• For admins only: a secure session cookie for the admin panel.

Analytics (only with your consent)

If you choose "Allow analytics", we load Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to understand how players use Buckvale (for example which screens are visited and where people get stuck). They set cookies named _ga and _ga_*, kept for up to 14 months. Advertising features, ad personalisation and Google signals are turned off.

If you choose "Only necessary", or your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, none of these are loaded.

Changing your mind

Change your choice any time in Settings → Privacy → Cookie settings. Withdrawing consent removes the analytics cookies we set.

Questions: the Help & feedback form in the game’s Settings.
