Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted) or "session-based" (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by other websites or services).

2. How We Use Cookies

Powerful Drive uses a minimal and privacy-respecting approach to cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking, profiling, or analytics purposes.

Our use of cookies is limited to ensuring the basic functionality of the Platform and respecting your consent choices.

3. Cookies We Use

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not place any third-party cookies on your device. Specifically:

• We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or any Google tracking services
• We do not use Facebook Pixel, Meta tracking, or any social media tracking
• We do not use Hotjar, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or any behaviour analytics tools
• We do not use advertising cookies from Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or any ad network
• We do not use retargeting or remarketing cookies
• We do not use fingerprinting or device identification technologies

Our Platform is designed to function without any third-party tracking whatsoever.

5. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage for the following purposes:

• Age Verification: The pd_age_verified key stores a simple "yes" value when you confirm you are 18 or older. This prevents the age gate from appearing on every page load.
• Chat State: Stores whether the chat widget was open or closed during your last visit, allowing us to restore the same state when you navigate to another page.

Local storage data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear local storage at any time through your browser settings.

6. How to Manage Cookies

6.1 Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit the Platform, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent. You can:

• Accept: We will store your consent preference in the pd_cookie_consent cookie
• Reject: No cookies will be stored, and only essential local storage will be used

Both choices are respected equally. The Platform functions fully regardless of your cookie consent choice.

6.2 Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete cookies individually or all at once
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies (note: this may affect website functionality)
• Set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions

6.3 Mobile Devices

On mobile devices, you can clear browser data (including cookies and local storage) through your browser app's settings or your device's settings menu. The exact steps depend on your device and browser.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to block or delete cookies:

• The age verification prompt may reappear on each visit (if you delete the local storage)
• The chat widget may not remember its open/closed state
• Your cookie consent preference may need to be re-selected

However, the core functionality of the Platform — including all games, pages, and features — will continue to work without any limitations.

8. Cookies and Children

We do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from children under 18. Our Platform is designed for users aged 18 and over, and our minimal cookie usage reflects this commitment to privacy.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or applicable regulations. When we make changes:

• We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
• We will post the revised policy on this page
• For material changes, we may display a notification on the Platform

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
