We use cookies for the following purposes:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.
- Local Storage: We use browser local storage (similar to cookies) to save your FS points and game progress. This allows you to maintain your progress across sessions.

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

- Google Maps: When you view our map, Google may set cookies. Please review Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store your FS points and game progress. Local storage is similar to cookies but allows for larger amounts of data to be stored.
Data Stored:
- FS points balance
- Game progress and scores
- Quiz completion status
This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, limiting cookies may impact your experience on our website.
5.1 Browser Settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data

5.2 Clearing Local Storage
To clear local storage data (including FS points), you can:
- Use your browser's developer tools to clear local storage

Note: Clearing local storage will reset your FS points and game progress.
6. Cookie Consent (UK/EU Requirements)
Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we are required to obtain your consent for non-essential cookies.
Currently, we primarily use essential cookies and local storage for functionality. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will implement a cookie consent banner.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. As a result, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals.
