No statistics are counted. If they are added, they will count visits on our own server, and only with your permission.
1What we store
| Name | What it does | How long | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| __Host-refresh | A cookie that keeps you signed in on this device. Only the site's server receives it; the site's pages cannot read it. | 30 days | Essential |
| signed_in | A cookie that tells the site's pages you are signed in on this device, so that they ask who you are only then. It holds the number 1 and nothing about you. | 30 days | Essential |
| lang | A cookie that remembers your language before you sign in. | 1 year | Essential |
| belote.pref.* | Kept on this device: your table preferences (the light room, the four-colour deck, reduced motion, the sound). | Until you clear it | Essential |
| belote-assets-1 | Kept on this device: the site's own files, so that it opens faster and can be installed as an app; the oldest are removed as new ones arrive. | Until you clear it | Essential |
| belot.check.* | Kept in this tab only: what the table showed your browser in your last 20 matches, about 2 KB each, so that it can run the fair-deal check and the replay can compare against it. None of it is sent. | Until the tab closes | Essential |
2Set by Cloudflare
Cloudflare delivers the site and protects it from attacks, and may set two cookies of its own in your browser. The site neither sets them nor uses them. They are needed for that protection to work.
| Name | What it does | How long | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Helps Cloudflare tell a person's browser from an automated program. It is renewed while you use the site. | 30 minutes | Essential |
| cf_clearance | Records that your browser passed one of Cloudflare's security checks, so that it is not checked again for a while. | 30 minutes | Essential |
