Cookie Policy
Last updated: 31 October 2026
This policy explains the storage used by TangoGameplay at https://tangogameplay.com. It lists only technologies found in the current game. It does not invent cookie names for tools that are not installed.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data a website can store through the browser and read on a later visit. They can be set by the site you are on or by another service embedded in the page. They can last for a session or for a longer period chosen by the site that set them.
2. Cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage
These are different mechanisms:
- Cookies are sent with later requests to the site that set them, depending on their settings.
- localStorage keeps data in the browser until script on that site deletes it. It is not automatically sent with every request.
- sessionStorage keeps data for one tab until that tab closes.
Temporary interface state can live in page memory; it is not a cookie. Saved puzzle progress is stored separately in localStorage, as described below, so refreshing the page does not itself delete a saved game.
3. Game and app storage
The game uses localStorage to save progress and player-specific history in your browser. The service worker also uses Cache Storage for same-site pages and assets. Neither mechanism is a cookie, and these browser values are not synced to a Tango account.
| Cookie or storage key | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
tango-saved-game | Current puzzle, board entries, notes, timer, move count, and hints used. | Game progress in localStorage. Not a cookie. | Until replaced by a later save or cleared in browser settings. |
tango-player-stats and tango-achievements | Solved-game totals, times, per-grid statistics, and achievement progress. | Player features in localStorage. Not a cookie. | Until updated or cleared in browser settings. |
tango-daily-stats | Daily completion dates, streaks, times, moves, and completed boards. | Player features in localStorage. Not a cookie. | Until updated or cleared in browser settings. |
tango-daily-puzzle-v2-[date] | Cached puzzle data for a calendar date. | Game feature in localStorage. Not a cookie. | Until cleared in browser settings. |
tango_pwa_dismissed_until | Time until a dismissed app-install prompt may appear again. | Interface preference in localStorage. Not a cookie. | Five days after dismissal, unless cleared earlier. |
Cache Storage: tango-pwa-v1 | Same-site pages and app assets for the installed web app. | Service-worker cache. Not a cookie or localStorage key. | Until the app updates or browser site data is cleared. |
Hosting providers may process connection data when they serve the site. Their technologies and retention are controlled by the provider, not by the game's browser storage settings.
4. Preferences
Board size and difficulty are part of the saved current puzzle. The game has no saved theme or sound preference and no account profile.
5. Analytics
Google Analytics and similar tools are not installed. No analytics cookie name is listed because none is set by this game.
6. Advertising and Google AdSense
Google AdSense is not loaded. The site does not set advertising cookies today.
If AdSense is added, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and to personalize them when your settings and the law allow it. Those cookie names and lifetimes would be added to the table above before the ads are shown. They would not be guessed in advance. Google describes its own technologies in the Google Privacy Policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
7. Third-party technologies
The font files are part of the site. They are not requested from Google while you play. The solved-puzzle animation uses code shipped with the page. Links on the legal pages go to other websites only after you choose them. Those sites may set their own cookies after you arrive.
8. Browser controls
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Doing that does not remove the in-memory puzzle. Refreshing the page does. Browser instructions:
9. Choices on this website
There is no cookie banner and no consent-management platform in the project. One is not shown as a control for ads, because ads are not loaded. Essential play does not depend on an optional cookie. The Manage Privacy Preferences page explains what you can change today and what a future consent tool would need to do.
10. Contact
