Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. In the context of The Apex Circuit, cookies help us deliver a seamless and engaging social casino experience.
2. Operator's Use of Tracking Tech
Iconic Turns GmbH uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. We use these technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information, ensuring that your simulated progress, such as your APX token balance and VIP tier, remains consistent throughout your session.
3. Essential & Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or holding your virtual session state. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
4. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site.
5. Functionality & Customization Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. For example, they remember your preferred game layouts in the lobby or your audio settings. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
6. Advertising & Marketing Cookies
While The Apex Circuit is a free-to-play platform, we may occasionally use advertising cookies to deliver relevant promotional messages regarding our simulated events or VIP store updates. These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.
7. Session vs Persistent Cookies
We use both Session and Persistent Cookies. Session Cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when your web browser closes. We use these to track your current gameplay session. Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a pre-defined period or until you manually delete them. We use these to remember your preferences (like the 18+ age verification) for your next visit.
8. Third-Party Cookies on the Site
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service. These are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties. We ensure that any third-party providers we use adhere to strict data protection standards consistent with our own policies.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager that appears upon your first visit to our site. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your selection at any time.
10. Browser Settings & Opt-Outs
You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
11. Local Storage vs Cookies
In addition to cookies, we extensively use HTML5 Local Storage. Local Storage functions similarly to cookies but allows us to store larger amounts of data locally on your device without sending it to our servers with every HTTP request. We use Local Storage primarily to save your Guest Account progress, APX token balance, and game history securely on your device.
12. Policy Updates & Contact
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please email us at support@www.morningsuninn.com.
