Cookies and browser storage
Here is what to know. A cookie is a small value a browser can send back with matching website requests. This page explains the storage used by the built-in features of pewtgssb.com. Both mechanisms can be managed through your browser's site-data settings. Local storage keeps data in the browser and is not automatically attached to each server request.
The contact-form cookie
The cookie contains a random value rather than your question or email address. The FAQ submission flow uses a cookie named spider_csrf to support request verification. The application marks this cookie HttpOnly and SameSite Strict, and uses the Secure flag on HTTPS. The cookie is scoped to /api/ and expires after about one hour.
Why form storage is used
Here is what to know. The server checks the form cookie together with a signed token when a question is sent. If the form expires, reload the page and submit again. The check helps reject requests that did not originate from the protected form flow. The token expires after approximately one hour.
Local game keys
Keep these details in mind. Turning off game saving removes those application game records. Game progress is stored under local-storage keys beginning with spider-v1:game-. One suit, two suits and four suits use separate saved game records. A saved record includes the card layout and recent undo history so that play can resume.
Statistics keys
Keep these details in mind. These records stay in the current browser profile and domain. Statistics can include started games, recorded wins and the best winning move count. Clearing game data removes the statistics stored by this application. Keys beginning with spider-v1:stats- hold game statistics for the selected difficulty.
Preferences storage
On this website, the following points apply. Preference storage is used to remember your choices on later visits in the same browser. The site reads these choices when the game or settings page opens. The spider-v1:preferences key stores the game-saving and sound choices. The clear-data action switches saving and sound off after removing earlier records.
Duration of local storage
The key details are straightforward. The game records remain until the application, you or your browser removes them. Private browsing may discard records when its session ends. Browser local storage does not have an automatic cookie-style expiration date. The site cannot restore local progress after that browser data has been cleared.
Manage or block storage
On this website, the following points apply. Blocking local storage can stop progress from being retained between visits. Your browser can also remove this domain's cookies and local storage. Privacy & Cookie Settings provides controls for this application's game records and preferences. Blocking the form cookie can prevent a contact submission from being accepted.
External share services
On this website, the following points apply. The built-in share buttons are links rather than embedded social-media widgets. An external service can apply its own cookie and storage practices on its destination page. The built-in application contains no advertising or analytics integration. Activating a share link opens the selected service with the current page information.
Questions about storage
Here is what to know. The operator should revise this policy whenever the storage used by the site changes. Contact [email protected] for a question about this website's storage practices. The Privacy Policy describes contact submissions and technical request information in more detail. Clearing browser storage does not erase a message already saved on the server.
