This Cookie Policy explains how LostStreet ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local browser storage, and similar technologies on https://www.loststreet.online.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone by websites you visit. They are widely used to make web applications function efficiently, preserve user preferences across sessions, and provide anonymous analytical and advertising data to website publishers.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary & Essential Cookies
These cookies and LocalStorage items are essential for core platform features. They enable you to log in via Firebase Authentication, save your audio/unit preferences (metric vs imperial), and keep your in-game daily streak intact. Without these, core game functions cannot be provided.
B. Performance & Analytics Cookies
We utilize Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics (GA4) to anonymously monitor page load speeds, Core Web Vitals, and aggregate traffic patterns. This telemetry helps our engineering team optimize Street View asset rendering and diagnose technical glitches.
C. Advertising & Google AdSense Cookies
LostStreet serves advertisements through Google AdSense to fund our cloud server hosting and keep the game 100% free with unlimited rounds. Google and its certified vendor partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve relevant advertisements based on a user's prior visits to our site or other websites across the Internet.
3. How to Opt-Out & Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over cookie usage and personalized advertising tracking:
- Google Ads Personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google My Ad Center.
- Industry Opt-Out Platforms: You can opt out of third-party behavioral advertising cookies through the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA).
- Browser Controls: Most web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling essential cookies may impact multiplayer or login functionality.
