Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Internet Solitaire uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit internetsolitaire.com.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser. We also use localStorage, a similar browser-based storage mechanism. Both allow the site to remember information between visits.
Storage We Use
Functional Storage (Always Active)
These are stored in your browser's localStorage and are essential for the game to work properly. No data is sent to our servers.
| Key | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
solitaire-analytics-consent | Stores your analytics consent choice (true/false) | Until you clear it |
solitaire-consent-timestamp | Records when you gave or declined consent | Until you clear it |
solitaire-consent-version | Tracks the consent policy version | Until you clear it |
solitaire-stats | Stores your game statistics (games played, wins, best times) | Until you clear it |
This storage never leaves your device. We cannot read it.
Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)
These cookies are only set after you accept analytics. They are placed by Google Analytics.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique users for analytics reporting | 2 years |
_ga_* | Used to persist session state for a specific Google Analytics property | 2 years |
_gid | Distinguishes unique users (shorter-lived) | 24 hours |
_gat | Throttles request rate to Google Analytics | 1 minute |
We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses and respect Do Not Track browser signals.
How to Manage Your Preferences
