Cookie Policy and Do Not Sell My Personal Information
This page explains what Solitaire.cx stores in your browser, why it is there and how to remove it. It also sets out our position on selling personal information. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. How the Site Uses Your Browser
Most of what the games save is kept in your browser's local storage rather than in cookies. Local storage is a standard browser feature that lets a site remember information on your own device. We use it so the games can remember your settings, keep the game you are in the middle of and track your statistics. This data stays in your browser. What our servers do receive, such as performance reports, analytics pings and the results you save, is described in the Privacy Policy.
2. What We Store in Local Storage
- Settings. Your card size, deck, table color and other preferences, so the game looks the way you left it.
- Game progress. The game you are playing and its moves, so you can close the tab and come back to it.
- Statistics. Your wins, streaks, best times and daily history on this device.
- A guest identifier. A random value for this browser profile. It cannot tell apart people who share the same profile.
- Your privacy choices. Whether you allowed or turned off analytics and whether optional usage measurement is on.
If you turn on optional usage measurement, a random identifier for your browser tab is kept in session storage and changes after 30 minutes without activity. Session storage may also hold a short list of recent page errors, which is cleared when you close the tab.
3. Cookies We Use
- Sign-in cookie. If you sign in, a cookie keeps you signed in until you sign out or it expires.
- Google Analytics cookies. Set only while analytics is on (see section 4). They are named
_gaand_ga_237VT03LBQand last up to one year.
We do not use advertising cookies.
4. Google Analytics Choices
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google Analytics starts with its cookies
turned off. Until you choose Allow analytics, Google receives measurement pings without cookies
and uses them only for overall and estimated traffic reports. Everywhere else, analytics is on from your first
visit and Google can set the two cookies listed above to measure visits and sessions. A Global Privacy Control
or Do Not Track signal keeps analytics cookies off. Your choice is saved in local storage as
solitaire.cx.google-analytics-consent.v1.
To turn analytics off, open Analytics preferences in the page footer or the game settings and choose Turn off analytics. This removes this site's analytics cookies, but it cannot erase information Google has already received. Section 3 of the Privacy Policy has the details.
5. Google Sign-In
The official Google sign-in button loads Google's script and button frame when it is shown. Google may use its own cookies or browser sign-in features under its own policies, and showing the button contacts Google even if you do not sign in. Seeing the button does not create a Solitaire.cx account.
6. Technical Logs
Like most websites, Solitaire.cx keeps ordinary server logs so the site can be delivered, protected and repaired when something breaks. These logs can include the address requested, the time, the browser type and the IP address. They are separate from the data stored in your browser.
7. How to Clear What Is Stored
You can clear what the site keeps on your device at any time in your browser settings, usually under a heading such as clear browsing data, cookies or site data. Clearing it resets your settings, your current game and your statistics on that device, and signs you out. The games keep working and simply start fresh the next time you open them.
8. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for money or for cross-context behavioral advertising. If a future feature would count as selling or sharing under a law such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, we will add a clear way to opt out before we turn it on. If you have a question about this, or want to make a request about your information, write to [email protected].
9. Changes to This Page
We may update this page as the site changes or the law requires. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
