Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 November 2026
Like most websites, KoolGames stores small pieces of information on your device. We call them cookies here, although most are kept in your browser's local storage. This page lists every one, says which are optional, and explains how to change your choice.
You haven't chosen yet, so only necessary storage is in use.
The three kinds
- Necessary storage runs the site and the features you ask for. It is always on.
- Analytics helps us count players and understand how the site is used. It is off until you turn it on.
- Advertising lets our ad partners show and measure ads. It is off until you turn it on.
Nothing in the last two kinds loads, and no ad script runs, until you have chosen.
Necessary

| kg:save:… | Your saved progress in games. | Until you clear your browser data |
| kg:visitor:v1 | A random anonymous ID. We create it when you mark a notification as read or start logging in, so your choices are kept with you. It is also created if you turn on Analytics. | Until you clear your browser data |

Analytics
If you turn Analytics on, we create your anonymous ID (kg:visitor:v1) straight away and send the time you play each game to our database. We also use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and Google sets its _ga cookies, which last up to 2 years. Google Analytics only loads after you choose Analytics.
Advertising
When we show ads, our ad partner [Ad network] may set cookies on your device to show ads, limit how often you see them and measure them. We load their script only if you turn on Advertising. Their cookies are described in their own policy [link to the ad network's cookie information].
Cookies from games
Some games come from other companies and may set their own cookies, but only after you press Play on that game. We don't control those cookies, so check the game provider's own policy.
Changing your choice
You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings in the footer of every page, or the button above. Turning a choice off stops it from the next page load. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. That removes your saved games and likes from this device, and cookies set by other companies are removed there too.
