Legal
Cookie policy.
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser; local storage is a similar mechanism without an expiry date. This page lists everything porticoplay.com may store on your device and how you stay in control.
1. In short
The website sets no cookies until you make a choice in the cookie banner. The only cookies it can set belong to Google Analytics, and only after you accept. There are no advertising or social media cookies.
2. What may be stored
| Name | Type | Purpose | Set by | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
porticoplay-consent | Strictly necessary (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics so the banner does not return on every page. | porticoplay.com | 12 months, then we ask again |
porticoplay-templates-unlock | Strictly necessary (local storage) | Remembers that you unlocked the playable demos on the templates, games and solutions pages, so you are not asked again. | porticoplay.com | 90 days |
porticoplay-event-preview:<event> | Strictly necessary (session storage) | Only when you open an event page with a preview link from Portico: keeps the link’s token for that page, so its “Open the preview” button works while the tab is open. | porticoplay.com | Until you close the tab |
_ga | Analytics (consent required) | Distinguishes one visitor from another with a random, pseudonymous identifier. | Google Analytics | 13 months |
_ga_<id> | Analytics (consent required) | Keeps the state of the current browsing session. | Google Analytics | 13 months |
3. How consent works
We use Google's Consent Mode with every signal set to "denied" by default. No Google script is loaded until you press Accept, so nothing is sent to Google and no analytics cookie exists before then. If you decline, or later withdraw consent, the site tells Google that analytics storage is denied and deletes the _ga cookies it can reach.
We load our analytics through Google Tag Manager, which is a container for measurement scripts rather than a measurement tool of its own. Tag Manager sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device; the cookies it can place on our behalf, once you accept, are the Google Analytics cookies listed above. The container itself is not loaded before you accept either.
4. Change your choice
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking every cookie does not affect this website, which works without them.
5. On Portico game pages
The games brands run on Portico Play, at play.porticoplay.com, on a brand’s own play domain or embedded on its website, keep the items below. The brand running the game is responsible for them and asks for your choice in the game’s banner; you can change it at any time under Privacy & cookies at the bottom of the game. Items marked “consent required” are only set after you say yes. Portico’s own measurement is described in the Portico analytics notice. A name ending in … stands for a family of names that start that way.
