Palm CourtWhat cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to keep. Browser storage (local storage, IndexedDB and caches) works similarly but stays on your device and isn’t sent to a server with every request. This policy covers both, and explains what Palm Court and its ad partners store. It adds detail to our privacy policy.
Storage Palm Court uses
These items are strictly necessary for the features you use, or remember choices you make. None is used for advertising or analytics, and none is shared with ad partners. Each stays until you clear the site’s data.
| Name | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
palmcourt.v1 | Local storage | Your settings: display name, controls, graphics, sound, accessibility, and whether online backup is on. |
palmcourt.profile (and .bak) | IndexedDB / local storage | Your progress: level, XP, Fuzz, unlocks, match history and stats, plus a backup copy in case the main copy is damaged. |
palmcourt.consent | Local storage | Your in-game ad choice (personalised or non-personalised ads) and when you made it. |
palmcourt.cloud.session, palmcourt.cloud.sent | Local storage | Only when online backup is on: the sign-in token for your anonymous backup and which scores have already been sent to the leaderboards. |
palmcourt.racket.last, palmcourt.racket.prefs | Local storage (phone) | On the phone racket page: the last game the phone paired with, and its display preferences. |
| Phone racket cache | Service worker cache (phone) | Keeps a copy of the phone racket page so it opens quickly and works when installed to the home screen. |
Third-party cookies: advertising
The free web version shows ads from Google (AdSense on the website, and Google’s ads for games inside the game). Google and its partners may set and read cookies and similar identifiers to deliver ads, limit how often you see them, measure them, prevent fraud and, with your consent where required, personalise them based on your activity on this and other sites. See how Google uses cookies and how Google uses information from sites that use its services. If you play on a game portal, the portal and its partners set their own cookies under their own policies.
Palm Court uses no analytics cookies. The fonts (Google Fonts), libraries (jsDelivr) and database provider (Supabase) used by Palm Court don’t set cookies for us.
Your consent and choices
- EEA, UK and Switzerland: advertising cookies for personalised ads are only used after you agree in Google’s consent message or, in the game, in Palm Court’s own ad-choice prompt. If you decline, only limited or non-personalised ads are shown. Change your choice with “Change my cookie choices” on the privacy policy, or under Ad choices in the game’s main menu.
- Everywhere: opt out of personalised ads at Google Ads Settings, aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
- Your browser: you can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser’s settings. Blocking third-party cookies stops personalised ads. Clearing Palm Court’s site data also deletes the progress and settings saved on that device, and the sign-in token for any online backup, so that backup can no longer be reached from that browser (email us if you want it deleted).
Changes and contact
If what Palm Court stores changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Questions: palmcourt.game@gmail.com.
