Privacy

Short version: your stats stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

What stays in your browser

Every game on Cards & Puzzles runs as code inside your browser. Your statistics (games played and won, streaks, best times, daily deals won), the game you are playing, the last deals you were given and your sound setting are saved in your browser's local storage on this device. They are not sent to us or to anyone else, and we have no copy. Clearing this site's data in your browser deletes them.

The site has no accounts and no ads. The only cookies are Google Analytics', described below.

What we count

We count how often each game is used. No cookies, nothing about you or your games. When you make the first move of a deal, and when you win one, the page sends our own server only the game's name (for example "spider-2") and "start" or "won". Never the deal, your moves, your time or anything that identifies you. If anything else is ever collected (for example ads), this page will say exactly what first.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to see how the site is used. We send these events: pages visited; that a deal was started (your first move) and that a deal was won, each with the game's name (for example "spider-2").

They never contain the deal, your moves, your times or your stats. Google also collects standard data such as your browser, device and approximate location from your IP address, and sets cookies to tell visits apart. See how Google uses this data.

Visitors in Europe are asked first, and Google Analytics is not loaded unless they accept. Everyone can turn it off with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage.

Offline play

After your first visit, your browser keeps a copy of the site's files so the games open without a connection. These are only the site's own files, nothing about you.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, it receives your IP address and basic request details to deliver pages and block abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
