1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. We use them for four purposes: to make the site work (essential), and — only with your consent where the law requires it — to measure anonymous traffic (analytics), to measure our advertising (marketing) and to play videos hosted on YouTube (external media). turbogames.io has no user accounts and runs no profiling of its own.
2. Your choice
Visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland see a consent bar on their first visit with Reject all, Accept all and Settings, where each purpose can be switched on or off separately. Nothing is switched on in advance. Until you opt in, only essential cookies are used and Google tags run with storage denied (Google Consent Mode). You can change or withdraw your choice any time via Cookie settings in the footer; we ask again after six months.
YouTube videos load only when you press play. If you have not allowed external media, the player first asks whether to play the video once or always allow YouTube. Videos we host ourselves set no cookies.
Game demos are for adults: before the first demo starts we ask you to confirm you are 18 or older and remember the answer.
3. Cookies we use

|---|---|---|---|---|
| tg_consent | Essential | Stores your cookie choice per purpose so the bar is not shown again. | 6 months | Turbo Games (first-party) |
| tg_age | Essential | Remembers that you confirmed you are 18+ before playing a demo. | 6 months | Turbo Games (first-party) |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics 4 — distinguishes anonymous visitors and sessions to measure traffic. EU/EEA/UK/CH: only after you allow Analytics. | up to 2 years | Google (via GTM) |
| — | Marketing | None at present. Allowing Marketing lets Google tags use advertising signals (ad storage, ad user data); if we add ad measurement such as Google Ads, its cookies (e.g. _gcl_*) are set only after you allow Marketing. | — | Google (via GTM) |
| YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA | External media | Set by YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com player) when you play an embedded video — playback, bandwidth and abuse protection. | session to 6 months | Google / YouTube |
4. Managing cookies
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; essential cookies may be blocked but parts of the site may then not remember your choice. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle data.
