Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies are stored by your web browser and can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits.

2. What Is Local Storage?

Local storage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device without expiration dates. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request — it stays entirely on your device.

Cricket ExpertPro uses local storage to save your game high score and preferences so your progress is retained between sessions.
