The short version

This site sets no cookies. It uses your browser's localStorage to remember your scores, favourites and preferences. All of it stays on your device, none of it reaches us, and you can delete all of it with the button further down this page.

Cookies

Retro Arcade Hub sets no cookies of its own. There is no session cookie, no preference cookie and no tracking cookie, because there are no accounts and no server-side state.

If an advertising network is activated in future, it will set its own cookies. We will update this page to name the provider and describe what it sets before any such code is added.

localStorage

localStorage is a browser feature that lets a website store small amounts of data on your own device. Unlike a cookie, it is never automatically sent to a server — it can only be read by JavaScript running on the same site, in your browser.

Here is everything this site stores, in full:

KeyContainsPurpose
rah:best:<game-id>Your best score, time, level, wave and combo for that gameDisplays your personal record on the game page
rah:favoritesA list of game identifiers you have favouritedPopulates the favourites page
rah:recentGame identifiers and timestamps of games you startedPopulates the recently played page
rah:playsA count of how many times you started each gameOrders your own view of the popular games page
rah:prefsWhether sound is muted and whether retro screen effects are onKeeps your settings between visits

There is nothing else. No identifier, no session token, no personal information, and no data that could identify you.

What this means in practice

  • Your scores exist only in the browser you set them in. A different browser, a different device or a private window will show no records.
  • Clearing your browser data deletes them permanently. We hold no copy and cannot restore them.
  • If your browser blocks site storage, every game still works — you simply will not see saved records. The site is designed to handle this without errors.

Delete everything

This removes every piece of data Retro Arcade Hub has stored in this browser — scores, favourites, history and preferences. It cannot be undone.

You can also clear it through your browser's own settings, usually under “Cookies and site data” or “Clear browsing data”.

Analytics

No analytics service runs on this site at the time of writing. No page-view tracking, no behavioural analytics and no third-party measurement scripts are loaded.

Third-party content

The site loads no third-party scripts, fonts, images or trackers. Everything is served from this domain, which means no third party receives your IP address simply because you loaded a page here.

Advertising technologies

The site is built with clearly labelled advertising containers, currently empty. If advertising is activated, the network may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies according to its own policy. We will name the provider and link to its policy here before that happens.
