Cookie policy
Emerald Fortune uses two pieces of browser storage in total, both strictly necessary. We run no advertising, analytics or social tracking of our own.
Last updated: 28 July 2026
1. What we use, in full
ef_sessionCookie · strictly necessaryIdentifies your logged-in account so your coin balance and daily bonus follow you. Signed with a secret key and marked HTTP-only, so it cannot be read by page scripts or forged.
Set: When you log in · Lifetime: 30 days, or until you sign out
ef-age-confirmed-v1Local storage · strictly necessaryRemembers that you passed the age gate so we do not ask again on every page. Stored in your browser only — it is never sent to our server.
Set: When you confirm you are 18 or over · Lifetime: Until you clear your browser storage
2. Why there is no cookie consent banner
Consent is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary — mainly analytics and advertising. We do not use any. Both items above exist solely to deliver something you asked for: staying logged in, and not being asked your age on every single page. Under the ePrivacy rules as applied in Republic of Ireland, storage of that kind is exempt from the consent requirement, so we do not interrupt your visit to ask for permission we do not need.
If we ever add measurement or marketing technology, we will ask for your consent first, before it loads, and we will list it on this page.
3. Cookies set by the game windows
Games in our lobby are free demonstration builds that load from the original studios' own servers inside a frame on our page. Those studios may set their own cookies or local storage inside that frame — for example to remember a demo balance, a sound setting or a language choice. We cannot read, control or delete that storage, and it is governed by the privacy and cookie notices of the studio in question, not by ours.
If you would rather avoid third-party storage entirely, you can block third-party cookies in your browser settings. Some game windows may then fail to load or forget their settings — that is a side effect of the block, not a fault on our side.
4. Fonts and other assets
Our typefaces are served from our own server rather than a font CDN, so loading a page on socialjackpotfun.comdoes not involve a third-party request for fonts. Game cover images are loaded from the game studios' image service; those requests carry no cookie of ours.
5. Managing and clearing storage
You are always in control. Signing out deletes the session cookie immediately. Clearing site data in your browser removes both items, including your age confirmation — the age gate will then appear again on your next visit. Every major browser lets you view and delete cookies and local storage per site, usually under Privacy or Site settings.
Blocking the session cookie will prevent you from logging in, since there would be no way to recognise you between page loads. You can still play every game in the lobby as a guest with cookies blocked.
