No cookies: what we keep in your browser
Carthoryn uses no cookies. This page lists everything we keep in your browser, why, and for how long.
1. No cookies
Carthoryn sets no cookies of any kind: none for analytics, advertising, tracking or social media. No third party can set cookies through our pages, because our pages load nothing from other sites.
2. What we store instead
To make the games work we keep a few small entries in your browser's storage. They never leave your device and we cannot read them. The table below lists every one.
3. Your choice
The storage panel offers Accept and Reject with equal weight. Accept keeps your ink and logbook between visits. Reject keeps them only until you close the tab. Either way, the games work the same. You can change your mind with Storage choices at the foot of any page.
4. What is always kept
Your age answer, your storage choice, your Base Camp settings and any pause are kept whatever you choose, because they protect you: without them we would ask your age on every page and a pause could be undone by closing the tab.
5. Clearing it
Clear my logbook on the logbook page removes your ink and logbook. Clearing site data in your browser settings removes everything, including any pause; a firm pause is a promise you make to yourself on this device, and we would rather you kept it.
6. Server records
Our host keeps basic server records, described in the privacy notice. These are not cookies and are not used to follow you.
7. Changes
If we ever change what we store, we will update this page and ask for your choice again.
