Cookie & Storage Policy

What We Store

Why We Store This Data

• Game continuity: Your coin balance and progress persist between sessions.
• Leaderboard: Rankings are stored locally to show a competitive environment.
• Age verification: Prevents the 18+ gate from appearing on every visit.
• Preferences: Cookie banner acceptance so it doesn't reappear unnecessarily.

Third-Party Storage

GameMahal loads fonts via Google Fonts CDN. Google may set performance/caching cookies. We have no control over these. See Google's Privacy Policy.
