Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 17 September 2026

1. Purpose of this Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how RICCHAI SERVICES LTD utilizes cookies, HTML5 Local Storage, and equivalent tracking technologies to operate the browser-based game "Race to the Stars."

Because our game runs entirely within your web browser without requiring a dedicated software download, these local data storage technologies are fundamentally critical to delivering a stable and uninterrupted gaming experience.

2. Understanding the Technologies

2.1. Cookies

Cookies are minimal text files deposited onto your computer or mobile device when you access our website. They act as identification tags, allowing our servers to recognize your session as you navigate between the hangar, campaign map, and battle screens.

2.2. Local Storage

Given the complex nature of a strategic card game, we heavily utilize your browser's Local Storage. This technology allows us to securely cache larger amounts of game data—such as your active deck configuration or recent UI preferences—directly on your device, ensuring immediate load times and preventing data loss if your connection drops before syncing with our cloud servers.

3. Categories of Technologies Deployed

We deploy these local data tools exclusively for operational necessity, security, and performance.

3.1. Strictly Necessary (Authentication & Payments)

These tools are mandatory. They keep your account securely logged in, authenticate your identity during WebRTC matchmaking, and create secure, encrypted sessions when you purchase items like Card Packs or currency bundles via our payment provider, Katarun.

3.2. Functional (Game State & Mechanics)

These storage mechanisms remember your customized game environment. They buffer your deck builds, track your visual loadouts (like Ship Skins and Backgrounds), and save your campaign progression states locally before uploading them to the cloud.

3.3. Security and Fair Play

We utilize specialized diagnostic cookies to monitor connection integrity, prevent unauthorized bot access, detect scripted macros, and enforce our one-account-per-player rule during Daily Tournaments.

4. Third-Party Integrations

To process Premium Store transactions securely, our financial partner Katarun may inject secure, temporary cookies during the checkout flow. These are utilized strictly for payment tokenization, fraud screening, and compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The deployment of these specific financial cookies is governed by Katarun's independent privacy protocols.

5. Managing Your Preferences and Impact on Gameplay

Most modern web browsers allow you to clear cookies and wipe Local Storage through their privacy settings.

However, because "Race to the Stars" relies on these technologies as its foundational engine, we do not offer an option to disable strictly necessary or functional cookies while playing.

If you configure your browser to block all cookies or restrict Local Storage, the Game will fundamentally break. You will experience immediate logouts, the inability to save your deck, complete failure to load PvP matches, and errors when attempting to access the Premium Store.

6. Updates to this Document

As we patch the Game and introduce new multiplayer infrastructure, we may update the tracking technologies we utilize. Any significant changes to our local storage methodologies will be reflected in an updated version of this policy.
