Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your experience. READYCITY uses both cookies and browser localStorage to provide our game and website services.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

READYCITY uses the following types of cookies and storage:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly. They include:

  • Cookie consent preference: Remembers your cookie choice so we don't show the banner again
  • Session management: Basic website functionality

These cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to work.

2.2 Game Data (localStorage)

Our game uses your browser's localStorage to save:

  • City save data: Your entire city layout, buildings, zones, and infrastructure
  • Game settings: Your preferred visual mode, camera position, and game speed
  • Budget data: Tax rates, funding levels, and financial history

This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can opt out of game data storage, but this means your city progress will not be saved between sessions.

2.3 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

If you consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website. These help us improve the game and website by tracking:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • How you found our website (search engine, direct, referral)
  • Browser and device type
  • General geographic location (country/region level)

Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. It does not identify individual users.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage cookies in several ways:

3.1 Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit READYCITY, you'll see a cookie consent banner with three options:

  • Accept All: Enables all cookies including analytics
  • Essential Only: Only enables cookies required for the website to function
  • Reject All: Disables all optional cookies (essential cookies still required)

3.2 Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
  • Clear localStorage data
  • Set preferences for specific websites

Note: Blocking all cookies or clearing localStorage will delete your game save data.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If we integrate any third-party services in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect those changes.

5. Data Retention

Cookie consent preferences are stored indefinitely until you clear your browser data. Game save data in localStorage persists until you manually clear it or clear your browser data. Analytics data, if collected, is retained in aggregated form.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable cookies and localStorage:

  • The cookie banner will appear every time you visit
  • Your game progress will not be saved between sessions
  • Some website preferences may not be remembered

The game itself will still function — you just won't be able to save your city for later.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
