Who we are

PlaySolitaire.io is a free online solitaire game published by MN Media (mnmedia.io), an EU-based publisher and the data controller for the processing described here. Contact us via the contact form on the homepage for any privacy matter, including exercising your rights below.

Game data stays in your browser

Your current game, settings (card size, theme, sound), first-game continuity record and your cookie choice are stored in your browser's local storage. If local storage is unavailable, a strictly necessary first-party cookie named ps_first_game may preserve a compact first-game continuity record for up to 12 months: assignment id, game variant/draw mode, selected first-deal seed when applicable, lifecycle status, timestamps and analytics sent flags. It does not store your card layout, move history or played-time totals. This is strictly necessary to provide the game you requested. Local storage stays on your device; the fallback cookie is sent to PlaySolitaire.io as a normal first-party request cookie and is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. Clearing browser data or site cookies removes it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and Hotjar to understand how the game is used: pages viewed, approximate location, device type, session length and in-game events such as games started and won. Visitors in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland see the cookie banner first; analytics loads only after consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Outside those regions, analytics may load immediately because prior consent is not required for this limited measurement use. You can still opt out any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer; if you refuse or opt out, analytics scripts stop loading and the game works exactly the same.

Analytics cookies: _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics, up to 400 days) and Hotjar _hj* cookies (up to 365 days). Analytics retention: 14 months (Google Analytics), up to 12 months (Hotjar). Both providers may process data outside the EU/EEA under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses; our Google Analytics endpoint collects via Google's EU infrastructure. Provider policies: Google, Hotjar.

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time.
