This Cookie Policy explains how LostStreet ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local browser storage, and related web telemetry on https://www.loststreet.online.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text strings saved to your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites you visit. They are standard web mechanisms used to allow secure authentication, remember in-game user settings across sessions, and provide anonymous analytical and advertising insights to website operators.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary & Operational Storage
These cookies and HTML5 LocalStorage entries are essential for core platform features. They enable Google Firebase authentication, maintain sound and measurement unit preferences (metric vs imperial), and preserve your daily streak progress. Without these, core game functions cannot operate properly.
B. Performance & Analytics Cookies
We utilize Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics (GA4) to anonymously evaluate page rendering speeds, Core Web Vitals, and aggregate traffic trends. This telemetry helps our engineering team optimize Street View panorama loading and resolve platform bugs.
C. Advertising & Google AdSense Cookies
LostStreet displays advertisements via Google AdSense to fund our cloud server hosting and keep the game 100% free with unlimited rounds. Google and its certified advertising partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other websites across the web.
3. Managing Your Cookie & Advertising Preferences
You maintain complete control over how cookies and behavioral advertising tracking are applied:
- Google Ads Personalization: You can manage or disable personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google My Ad Center.
- Consumer Opt-Out Platforms: You can opt out of interest-based advertising from multiple networks via the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA).
- Web Browser Controls: Major browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge) provide settings to block cookies or notify you when cookies are set. Note that disabling necessary cookies may alter your game progress or session settings.
