Last updated: 13 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how TroutArena.pro ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://troutarena.pro. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage (including localStorage and sessionStorage), which function in a similar way.
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieConsent |
Essential | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) to avoid showing the banner on every visit. | 1 year (localStorage) |
spinCount |
Functional | Stores the number of times you have spun the Fish Wheel during your current session. | Session (sessionStorage) |
spinHistory |
Functional | Stores your Fish Wheel catch history for display during your current session. | Session (sessionStorage) |
| Analytics cookies | Analytics | Collect anonymised data about how visitors use the Site (pages visited, time on site, referral source). No personally identifiable information is collected. | Up to 2 years |
Note: The Fish Wheel data (spinCount and spinHistory) is stored in your browser's sessionStorage, not as a traditional cookie. This data is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab.
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled without significantly affecting the Site's functionality. The cookieConsent cookie falls into this category, as it is required to remember your consent choice.
Non-essential cookies include analytics and functional cookies. These are only placed on your device if you click "Accept All" on our cookie consent banner. If you click "Decline", only essential cookies will be used.
At present, TroutArena.pro does not use third-party advertising cookies. If we introduce third-party services in the future (such as Google Analytics), this policy will be updated accordingly, and consent will be sought before placing any such cookies.
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the page. You can click "Accept All" to consent to all cookies, or "Decline" to reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser's localStorage.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options", "Preferences", or "Settings" menu of your browser. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and other websites you visit.
To clear data stored in localStorage or sessionStorage (such as your cookie consent preference or spin wheel data), you can use your browser's developer tools or clear your browsing data through your browser settings.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
