Essential storage

These local storage entries keep the game working and save your preferences. They aren’t advertising identifiers. Room and session details are also sent to the room server when you play.

showtime-name

Your last player name, so you don’t have to retype it. It stays until you clear site storage.

showtime-session-v1

Your room code, player name, player ID and random reconnect token. It lets the game restore your place after a dropped connection. The app removes it when you leave or when it finds that the session is invalid. Disconnected participants get a 30-second reconnect window; hosts can remove them sooner. The room server clears inactive rooms after 24 hours.

showtime-consent-v1

Your analytics choice and when you made it. The choice lasts six months before we ask again. You can change it sooner.

Optional analytics

If you allow analytics, we load Vercel Web Analytics. It helps us see whether people can join and finish games, which packs get used, and where the site needs work. It uses a short-lived hashed visitor identifier and doesn’t set analytics cookies.

Page views and our game events exclude names, room codes, passwords, reconnect tokens and answers. Query strings and fragments are removed from the current page URL before analytics events are sent. We don’t use advertising cookies, cross-site advertising profiles or session replay.

Choosing “Essential only” keeps the analytics script unloaded. If you withdraw consent after allowing it, we block future page views and game events, including from a script that has already loaded. This does not erase reports already collected.

Change your choice

Cookie settings to review or change your settings. The same control is at the bottom of every page. You can keep playing after declining analytics.

Browser settings can also remove or block site storage. Clearing storage signs you out of the room on that browser and removes your saved name and preference. Blocking all essential storage may stop reconnection from working.

Hosting and security

Vercel and Cloudflare deliver and protect the site. Their infrastructure may use strictly necessary security cookies or technical request records. These are separate from our optional analytics. See their privacy information and Cloudflare’s privacy policy for details.
