Cookies & browser storage
What this browser remembers, and the choices you have.
Last updated 26 October 2026
Your choices
Choose Accept optional, Reject optional or Manage options in our privacy panel. Essential sign-in and security storage stays available. Remembering appearance and region between visits, and your YouTube playback preference, are optional and off until you choose them.
We remember either choice for six months in an essential first-party cookie. You can change or withdraw permission here or through Cookie settings in the footer. Closing the panel without saving does not grant permission. These choices apply to this browser; your account and games are unaffected.
Sign-in and security
Plydex uses first-party cookies to sign you in, protect Google sign-in and remember choices you make. We do not run advertising pixels or visitor analytics trackers.
New sign-ins use a session cookie by default. You can choose “Keep me signed in for 30 days” before signing in with email or Google. Leave it unticked on a shared device. Browsers may restore session cookies when reopening; always use Sign out on your profile to end access on that device. Sessions also expire on our server after 30 days.
Sign-ins made before this option was introduced may already have a 30-day cookie. Sign out and sign back in to change that choice.
What we store in this browser
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ql_session | Keeps your signed-in account authenticated. | Browser session, or up to 30 days if you choose. |
| plydex_google_flow | Protects the Google sign-in or linking request. | 10 minutes; cleared when the flow finishes. |
| plydex-consent | Records your optional-storage choices, their version and when you saved them. | Six months. |
| plydex-region | Uses the store region you select. | Browser session; with permission, until your six-month privacy choice expires. |
| ql-theme (local storage) | Remembers light or dark appearance when you allow preferences. | Until cleared or permission is withdrawn. Removed on your next visit if permission has expired. |
Control saved preferences
Clear your saved region cookie and appearance choice below. The theme will follow your device setting. Region prices use your account’s saved region when signed in, or the UK default otherwise. Clearing browser preferences does not delete account preferences or sign you out.
With optional preferences off, theme changes apply to the current page and region changes use a session cookie. Your account’s region preference remains saved on the server. Allowing preferences can remember your current choices again. Blocking sign-in cookies in your browser prevents account features from working.
Videos and other websites
YouTube players load only after you press play. With YouTube permission off, you can explicitly choose “Play this video once” without changing your saved choice. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain. Playing connects your browser to YouTube, which may store or access information on your device and process viewing information under its privacy policy. Saving new cookie choices closes active players. Your browser settings can clear storage already set by YouTube.
Game artwork, thumbnails and direct trailers may load from stores or media providers, which receive connection details such as your IP address. Google sign-in and retailer links take you to services with their own privacy and cookie controls.
