Cookie policy
Essential storage supports accounts and games. Optional Google Analytics cookies are used only after you accept analytics. Accept and decline are equally available, and you can change your choice in Cookie Preferences.
ifp_session — essential session cookie
The first-party ifp_session cookie is HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Strict. It identifies a random server-side session and expires after seven days. It supports sign-in and request protection without containing your password or email.
ifp:notice — essential local preference
This first-party local-storage record remembers that you dismissed the essential-storage notice, with a timestamp. It is checked for expiry after 180 days. You can review or clear it in Cookie Preferences.
ifp:round — temporary round recovery
Session storage keeps the request identifier and selected play level for an interrupted round. It contains no password, outcome seed or email. It is removed after a successful presentation, on sign-out, or when the browser tab session ends.
Changing your choices
Use Cookie Preferences at any time to accept or decline optional analytics. Declining or withdrawing consent does not affect sign-in or games. Withdrawing removes Analytics cookies and stops future measurement. Essential account and round-recovery storage remains active.
Server-side traffic services
