What cookies and browser storage are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to save and send back on later visits to the same site. Browser storage (“localStorage”) is a similar mechanism built into every modern browser: a website can keep small pieces of information on your own device. Unlike a cookie, localStorage is not sent to the server automatically with each request — it stays in your browser and is read only by scripts running on our pages.
LumenStride is a free social games website. You play with virtual credits that have no monetary value, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to cash out. Because playing needs no account, we keep things like your virtual credit balance and your language choice on your device rather than on our servers. This policy explains exactly what we store, why, and how you can remove it at any time.
What we store on your device
We set exactly one cookie and use a small set of localStorage keys. All of them are first-party (they belong to lumenstridee.com) and all start with the prefix lms_.
| Name | Stored as | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
lms_lang | Cookie (first-party) | Remembers the language you picked, so pages open in that language. Set only when you choose a language or open a link with ?lang=. | Functional | 12 months |
lms_lang | localStorage | The same language choice, kept in the browser so scripts on the page can read it. | Functional | Until you clear it |
lms_credits | localStorage | Your virtual credit balance between rounds and visits. Virtual credits have no monetary value. | Functional | Until you clear it |
lms_user | localStorage | Which optional local account is signed in on this device. | Strictly necessary (only if you register) | Until you sign out or clear it |
lms_users | localStorage | Details of optional accounts created on this device. Your password stays in this browser and is never sent to our server. | Strictly necessary (only if you register) | Until you clear it |
lms_age_ok | localStorage | Records that you confirmed you are 18 or older, so the age check is not shown on every page. | Strictly necessary | Until you clear it |
lms_consent | localStorage | Stores your choice from the storage strip (accepted or declined) and when you made it. | Strictly necessary | Until you clear it |
lms_free_refill_used | localStorage | Notes whether you have already used the free virtual credit refill. | Functional | Until you clear it |
lms_unsub | localStorage | Remembers on this device that you sent the unsubscribe form, so the page can confirm it. | Functional | Until you clear it |
“Strictly necessary” items are needed for the site to work the way you asked it to — for example, remembering that you confirmed your age, or remembering your storage choice itself. “Functional” items make the site more convenient, such as keeping your balance between visits. localStorage items have no automatic expiry: they remain until you clear them, use the reset button below, or delete site data in your browser.
What we do not use
We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media pixels, fingerprinting or any other tracking technology, and no third-party trackers are loaded at launch. We do not build visitor profiles, and we do not sell or share stored data with anyone. If this ever changes, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any such item is set.
Google Fonts
Our pages use typefaces served by Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser downloads a font file, it connects directly to Google’s servers, which means your IP address and basic technical information (such as your browser type) are transmitted to Google. Google Fonts does not set cookies for this purpose. You can read more in Google’s privacy policy and in our Privacy Policy.
How consent works
On your first visit a slim strip appears at the bottom of the screen. It asks whether you agree to functional storage. Strictly necessary items do not need consent and are always used; your choice applies only to functional items.
- Accept — functional storage is used as described in the table above.
- Decline — we keep only strictly necessary items. The games still work, but conveniences such as your saved balance or language may not be remembered between visits.
Your answer is saved in the lms_consent key so the strip does not reappear on every page. You can change your mind at any time: the button below deletes all LumenStride cookies and localStorage keys on this device (including your virtual credit balance and any optional local account) and shows the strip again the next time a page loads.
How to clear cookies in your browser
You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. Clearing “cookies and other site data” for lumenstridee.com removes both the lms_lang cookie and every localStorage key. Official help pages:
Most browsers also let you block cookies entirely or use a private window, whose storage is deleted when you close it. If you block all storage, the site still loads but cannot remember your balance, language or choices.
Changes to this policy
If we add, remove or change any stored item, we will update the table and the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
