Cookie & Browser Storage Policy
How GameAccount.us uses cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage — including first-party attribution (no attribution cookie).
Cookies Versus Browser Storage
Cookies are small text files a browser may store for a website. GameAccount.us also uses HTML browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) for some features. This policy covers both cookies and browser storage.
First-Party Attribution Storage (Not a Cookie)
Durable anonymous first- and last-touch attribution uses localStorage (key ga_attr_v1). The current tab session source uses sessionStorage (key ga_attr_session_v1). There is no first-party attribution cookie.
Bonus Preferences
The browser may use localStorage only as an immediate display hint for the hourly wheel cooldown. Daily Offer eligibility, spin results, one-offer-per-email rules, and redemption status are enforced server-side and are not controlled by browser storage. Clearing localStorage does not create a valid additional server-authorized spin or offer.
Third-Party And Widget Technologies
The chatbot widget hosted at chatbot.sweepstakesnearme.com may use its own cookies or storage required for chat sessions. Google Analytics 4 may load and use analytics cookies only after a visitor grants analytics consent. GA4 is limited to allowlisted site-interaction events; Google advertising signals and ad-personalization signals are disabled. Meta Pixel is not enabled. Visitors can withdraw analytics consent at any time through Privacy & Analytics Settings and can clear existing cookies in browser settings.
Managing Storage
You can clear cookies and site storage in your browser settings. Clearing storage can reset attribution and bonus-wheel memory on that device. Blocking storage does not prevent you from opening the chatbot.
