Tiltrio — Cookie & Storage Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-05-09
This document explains what client-side storage Tiltrio uses, and why a traditional cookie consent banner is not displayed.
TL;DR
- Tiltrio does not use cookies.
- Tiltrio uses your browser's local storage for two functional purposes: remembering your audio/theme preferences, and remembering which tutorials you've dismissed.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, or any third-party tracking scripts.
- Under EU / UK ePrivacy law, the storage we use qualifies as strictly necessary / functional and does not require user consent before being set. That is why no cookie banner is displayed.
1. What is stored, and where
| Storage type | Key | What it is | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|---|
localStorage |
tiltrio.audio |
A JSON object recording your active visual theme, sound-effects on/off, and music on/off. | On your device only. |
localStorage |
tiltrio.tutorial.seen.<mode> |
A simple "1" flag per game mode that prevents the in-game tutorial from auto-opening every time. | On your device only. |
That is the complete list. Tiltrio does not set any cookies, IndexedDB databases, Service
Workers, Cache Storage entries, or other persistent client-side state beyond the two
localStorage entries above.
2. Why no cookie consent banner
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (and UK PECR equivalents), consent is required to store
information on a user's device except when that storage is strictly
necessary for a service the user explicitly requested. The two localStorage
entries above are used purely to remember user preferences — they:
- Do not contain personal identifiers.
- Are not transmitted to any server.
- Are not used for analytics, profiling, or advertising.
- Are not shared with any third party.
Industry practice and ICO guidance treat preference-only localStorage entries
of this kind as functional / strictly necessary, requiring no banner. If you disagree with
this characterization, you can clear or block the storage (see §4) and the Service will
still load — you'll just see the tutorial again next time and have to re-pick your theme.
3. Server-side logging
Separate from client-side storage, our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically logs each HTTP request — including your IP address, the requested URL, your user agent, and a timestamp. This is standard hosting telemetry and is described in our Privacy Policy. It is not "cookies" or browser storage; the logs are produced by the server when your browser makes a request.
4. How to clear or block the storage
You can clear our localStorage entries at any time without affecting the
Service's basic functionality:
- Chrome / Edge: DevTools → Application → Local Storage → select the site → Delete all.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → select the site → Remove.
- Safari (macOS): Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → select the site → Remove.
- Mobile browsers: Settings → Site Settings (or equivalent) → clear storage / cookies for the site.
You can also block site data globally in your browser's privacy settings; Tiltrio will still run, you'll just lose the convenience of remembered preferences.
5. Changes to this disclosure
If we ever add cookies, analytics, or any tracking technology, this document will be updated before that change is deployed and the change will be noted in the alpha-tester changelog. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
