Privacy policy

What Yaarcade keeps on your device, what it never collects, and how the ads that pay for it use cookies.

Last updated 3 October 2026.

The short version

You never create an account, and we never ask for your name, email address or phone number to play.
Game progress and settings are saved in your browser's local storage, on your device. We can't see them.
When ads are shown, they are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to choose and measure ads. You can turn off personalised ads (see Ads below).
We don't run our own analytics or tracking scripts, and we don't sell or share personal data.

What is stored on your device

Yaarcade uses your browser's local storage, not cookies, to remember things between visits. Everything we store starts with arcade. and includes:

saved games in progress, so you can pick up where you left off;
best scores, best times, wins and daily streaks;
settings such as sound on or off, difficulty and card or board style;
the time of the last ad break, so we don't show ads too often.

This data never leaves your device and isn't sent to us. It isn't shared between your devices or browsers. To delete it, clear this site's data in your browser settings; your scores and saved games will reset.

Ads and cookies

Yaarcade is free because of advertising. Ads are provided by Google AdSense. To show and measure ads, Google and its partners may place and read cookies in your browser, or use similar technologies such as device identifiers.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.
If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they won't be based on your interests. Non-personalised ads still use cookies for things like frequency capping and fraud prevention.
Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and how Google uses cookies in advertising.

Where the law requires consent before cookies are used for ads (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland), you will be asked first, and you can change your choice at any time.

Some games offer optional rewarded ads: you choose to watch one in exchange for a hint, an undo or an extra life. Skipping them never stops you from playing.

Information our servers see

Like every website, the servers that deliver Yaarcade receive basic technical information with each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page you asked for. Our hosting provider uses it to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We don't use it to identify you or build a profile. Fonts and images load from our own servers, not from third parties.

Children

Yaarcade is a general-audience site and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included, because the games don't ask for any.

Changes and contact

If how we handle data changes, for example if we add analytics, we'll update this page first and change the date at the top. Questions about privacy? Email kushal@muse-mesh.com.
