This Cookie Policy explains what theindiegamesroom.com, the website of Tafløy Lofoten Resort & Casino, stores on your device and why you do not see a cookie banner here. The short answer: the website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third parties. It stores exactly one small display preference, and only after you ask for it.
1. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser. Websites can also keep information on your device in other ways, for example with localStorage or sessionStorage, which are part of every modern browser. The law treats these technologies alike: under Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the corresponding rules in the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (ekomloven), storing information on your device, or reading it back, requires your consent unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly asked for.
2. Cookies on this website
None. This website does not set any cookies, either its own or anyone else’s. In particular, it has:
- no analytics or statistics tools;
- no advertising, retargeting or conversion pixels;
- no social media buttons or embedded content from other platforms;
- no maps, videos or other embeds from third-party services;
- no fonts or scripts loaded from other servers. The typefaces and all images are served from this website itself.
The website’s Content Security Policy blocks connections to other servers, so even by accident it cannot send information about your visit anywhere else.
3. The one item we store
On narrow screens such as phones, the footer menu is shown as a set of sections that you can open and close. If you tap one of those section headings, the website remembers which sections you left open, so that the footer looks the same the next time you visit.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
tafloy-footer-accordion |
localStorage, first party | Remembers which footer menu sections you opened or closed on a phone-sized screen. | Until you clear this website’s data in your browser. |
A few details about this entry:
- It is created only after you tap a footer section heading on a narrow screen. If you never do, nothing is stored.
- It contains only the open or closed state of each section, for example
{"footer-panel-explore":true}. It holds no personal data and no identifier. - It stays in your browser. Unlike a cookie, it is never sent to our server or to anyone else.
4. Why there is no cookie banner
A consent banner is needed when a website wants to store or read information on your device for purposes that go beyond what you have asked for, such as analytics or advertising. The single entry described above is created only in response to your own action, only to remember a display choice you made, and it is never used for tracking or shared with anyone. It is therefore exempt from the consent requirement as strictly necessary for a function you requested, and asking you to accept a banner for it would add friction without protecting you.
If we ever add anything that requires consent, such as analytics, we will ask for your consent before it is used and update this policy first.
5. What the website does not store
- The games-evening planner shows its suggestion on the page and stores nothing.
- The interest list form does not save what you type. When you press the button, your own email app opens with the message, and nothing is sent until you send it.
- The room viewer, the gallery and the image viewer work entirely in your browser and store nothing.
6. How to remove it
You can delete the stored entry at any time by clearing the site data for theindiegamesroom.com in your browser settings, usually under a heading such as “Cookies and site data” or “Privacy”. Browsing in a private window also removes it when the window is closed. If you block storage completely, the website still works; the footer simply will not remember which sections you opened.
7. Server logs
Server logs are not cookies and are not stored on your device, but they do involve some technical data about your visit. They are explained in section 3.3 of our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes and contact
We will update this policy if what the website stores ever changes. The date at the top of the page shows the current version. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
