Operational note. This Cookie Policy is drafted as a full standalone website document for deployment by SAUNA PISCES LTD. It explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on Isle Craft, how consent is obtained where required, how users can manage preferences, and how cookie-related records may support security, fraud prevention and legal compliance.

Important: non-essential cookies should only be activated after a valid consent signal where consent is required under applicable law. The cookie inventory in this policy should be reviewed whenever the site stack, consent manager, analytics setup, checkout integrations or embedded features change.

1. Introduction and Scope

This Cookie Policy explains how SAUNA PISCES LTD uses cookies, pixels, software development kit identifiers, local storage objects and similar technologies on the Isle Craft website, related landing pages, user account areas, support forms and browser-based game services.

This policy applies when a user visits the public website, plays the game through a browser, interacts with support tools, proceeds to checkout, signs in to an account, or otherwise engages with pages or features that rely on device-side identifiers.

This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and End User Licence Agreement, Refund Policy, Payment Policy, Cancellation Policy and Digital Product Fulfilment Policy, where applicable.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device when a user visits a website. They can store or retrieve limited information that allows the service to remember settings, maintain sessions, improve security, measure usage patterns or support product functionality.

Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software identifiers, device identifiers, server-side event markers and other technologies that perform comparable functions. For simplicity, this policy refers to all such tools collectively as cookies unless the context requires otherwise.

Some cookies are set directly by the Company. Others may be set by carefully selected third-party providers acting on the Company’s behalf, for example infrastructure providers, analytics providers, consent management vendors, anti-fraud tools or embedded service providers.

3. Why the Company Uses Cookies

The Company uses cookies only where there is a legitimate operational, security, performance or measurement need. Cookies help the Company run the website, maintain user sessions, remember user choices, keep services secure, investigate payment and access anomalies, detect abuse, and understand how the Service is used so it can be improved.

The Company does not state that it currently uses advertising or behavioural retargeting cookies on Isle Craft. If the Company later introduces marketing cookies or third-party advertising technologies, this policy and the consent mechanism should be updated before those technologies are activated.

4. Cookie Categories Used on the Service

The table below summarises the main categories of cookies and similar technologies that may be used on the Service. This is a functional classification table, not the full inventory.

CategoryPurposeConsent usually required?If disabled
Strictly necessarySupports core page delivery, login persistence, session continuity, consent memory, fraud prevention, load balancing, security checks and payment workflow integrity.No, where genuinely necessary for the requested service.Site may not function correctly without them.
PreferencesStores user choices such as language, interface preferences or similar convenience settings.Usually yes, unless the preference is inseparable from the requested service.Loss of saved settings and repeated prompts.
Analytics / performanceMeasures traffic, usage trends, gameplay access patterns, page performance and service quality so the Company can improve operations.Yes, where required by law.Reduced visibility into service performance and product improvement.
Security / anti-abuseHelps detect bots, suspicious behaviour, repeated failed access attempts, transaction anomalies or other misuse.Usually no where strictly necessary for security; otherwise assess case by case.Lower fraud detection capability and weaker abuse monitoring.
Embedded content / social featuresMay be activated by third-party widgets, social plug-ins or embedded content if such features are used.Yes, unless technically essential.Embedded content may not load as expected.

5. Lawful Basis and Consent Approach

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent where they are genuinely required to provide the requested website function, maintain account security, preserve a session, process a transaction, balance load, remember a consent signal, or prevent fraud and abuse.

Preference, analytics, performance and other non-essential cookies should only be placed or read after the user has provided a valid consent choice where applicable law requires consent. Users should be able to accept, reject or customise non-essential categories through the site’s consent layer.

Where non-essential cookies are disabled, some optional features may not function as intended, but essential service access should remain available to the extent reasonably possible.

6. Cookie Inventory and Example Technology Table

The table below provides a deployment-ready baseline inventory for Isle Craft. Because website configurations can change, the Company should periodically confirm the live cookie scan and align this table to actual production use. Where a cookie is listed as “if enabled”, it should only be active if the corresponding feature has actually been implemented and, where required, properly consented to.

Security or anti-bot token cookieSecurity / anti-abuseUsed to distinguish legitimate traffic from automated abuse or hostile requests.Short-lived to persistent depending on toolSecurity or fraud prevention provider

Inventory caveat. The Company should remove any cookie that is not actually deployed in production and add any additional cookie that appears through the consent manager, analytics implementation, checkout integrations, embedded media, anti-fraud tooling or game client architecture.

7. Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Services

Certain pages or workflows may involve third-party technologies, for example hosting tools, checkout integrations, analytics services, embedded media, security filtering or social plug-ins. Where a third party places a cookie through the Service, that third party may act as an independent controller for its own purposes or as a processor acting on the Company’s instructions, depending on the integration design and applicable law.

Users should review the privacy and cookie notices of third-party providers when interacting with third-party content, redirections or embedded features. The Company is not responsible for external third-party sites beyond the scope required by law, but seeks to use reputable providers and to configure them appropriately.

8. How Users Can Manage Cookie Preferences

Users can manage non-essential cookie preferences through the cookie banner or preference centre made available on the website. Where available, users may return to the preference tool at a later time to change their choices.

Most browsers also allow users to block, delete or restrict cookies through browser settings. However, blocking all cookies may impair account sign-in, session continuity, checkout flows, gameplay stability, language selection, consent memory and other service functions.

Users may additionally manage device-level permissions, use private browsing modes, or clear local storage and cached data. These actions may sign the user out, remove saved preferences or affect delivery of certain browser-based game features.

9. Retention and Review of Cookie Data

Cookie duration varies according to purpose. Session cookies expire when the browser is closed unless technically preserved for a short restore period. Persistent cookies remain for the period specified in the table below or until the user deletes them earlier.

The Company should review its cookie inventory on a regular basis and after material changes to the website stack, consent manager, analytics tooling, embedded services, account systems or checkout providers. When the actual cookie inventory changes materially, the Company should update this policy accordingly.

10. Do Not Track and Similar Browser Signals

Browser “Do Not Track” signals do not currently operate under a single uniform technical standard. Unless and until a legally binding standard applies, the Service may not respond to every such signal in a uniform way. Users should rely primarily on the website’s consent controls and their own browser settings.

11. Children and Age-Related Considerations

The Service is not knowingly designed for children below the minimum permitted age under the Company’s Terms and applicable law. Where the Company becomes aware that cookie-based data has been collected inappropriately from a child in breach of applicable standards, it may take reasonable steps to delete the relevant data and limit or terminate associated access.

12. International Data Flows

Information associated with cookies may in some cases be accessed or processed outside the user’s jurisdiction, including where infrastructure, analytics, support or security providers operate internationally. Where required, the Company seeks to use appropriate transfer safeguards described in its Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to this Cookie Policy

The Company may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, operational or business changes. The updated version should be posted on the website with a revised effective date. Material changes should be communicated in an appropriate manner where required by law.

14. Contact

Questions, complaints or requests relating to cookies or similar technologies may be sent to SAUNA PISCES LTD using the contact details published on the website, including info@isle-craft.com. Users should provide enough detail about the relevant browser, device, page and issue so the Company can investigate efficiently.
