Privacy at Spider FreeCell

Last updated: 15 September 2026.

This notice describes how Spider FreeCell handles information on Spider FreeCell. For privacy requests, email frozengineer@gmail.com.

Ordinary games, preferences and personal statistics are saved in this browser. Offline storage holds the game’s public pages, code and artwork. Clearing site data removes these local copies. Settings offers an export and import backup.

Optional online play

Downloading the daily pack automatically creates a random guest identity, stored in an HttpOnly cookie for up to 90 days. The server stores a hash of its secret token, issued attempts, official daily layouts and verified results. Downloaded daily packs and attempt tickets are stored in your browser for offline play. Submission sends the attempt ID and move history so the server can check the game; the database keeps the resulting action count, not the full move history. The public board shows a generated Player label and action count.

Request IP addresses are hashed together with a minute bucket for short-lived rate limits; the rate-limit database entries expire after two minutes. Hosting infrastructure may process request metadata for operation and security. Your guest identity is specific to this browser; there is no account recovery or cross-device identity yet.

Analytics

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load automatically on the public site to measure visits, game usage and interactions. There is no analytics prompt. Localhost sends no analytics. The game marks the card-table content for Clarity text masking. Our custom game events report the game mode, offline status and whether a game was resumed; they do not include deal seeds, move histories or saved-game backups. Our manually sent page-view events omit query parameters. Analytics providers may separately collect page URLs, referrers and other browser metadata; do not put private information in a shared deal link. Previous in-game analytics choices and Global Privacy Control do not disable this site’s analytics scripts. Browser privacy settings and content blockers may also prevent analytics from loading.

Cookies and analytics providers

Google Analytics measures visits and game usage. Microsoft Clarity provides interaction analysis, including heatmaps and session recordings. These services can process page and referral URLs, clicks, scrolling, device and browser information, IP-derived location information, and cookie or similar identifiers. Masking text does not make an entire session anonymous or prevent collection of page metadata.

Analytics providers may read or write cookies and process information on infrastructure outside your country, subject to their configuration and regional restrictions. See how Google uses information from partner sites, Microsoft’s Privacy Statement, and Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy. This website’s analytics loader does not itself collect or record visitor consent.

Storage, retention and requests

Local saves remain on your device until you remove them or your browser clears them. Guest access expires after 90 days, but expiration of a cookie or submission ticket does not automatically delete historical database records. Official daily layouts and verified results are retained to support archives and rankings. Analytics retention follows the respective provider’s settings and policies.

You can clear this site’s cookies and storage through your browser, but doing so can remove saved games and access to your guest identity; it does not delete server records or provider-held analytics. Contact us about access, correction or deletion requests. We may need enough information to locate a record and verify the request, and we may be unable to link an analytics identifier to a particular person. Rights and available remedies depend on applicable law. Do not send guest tokens, passwords or full backups in an initial request.

Hosting

Spider FreeCell is hosted on Cloudflare. Official daily deals, guest identities and verified results are stored in a database dedicated to this game. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are configured specifically for this site.
