Cookies and browser storage — details

Keep these details in view as you continue. A cookie is a small value a browser can send back with matching requests. Local storage is a separate browser feature used here for preferences and saved poker records. Clearing one type of data in browser settings may not clear the other, depending on the option selected. Keeping the full context in mind helps avoid misunderstandings.

The form-security cookie

This overview brings the relevant details together. The built-in FAQ feature uses a cookie named holdem_csrf to bind a form token to the submitting browser. It is created when the form requests a token for submission and expires after about one hour. Its request path is limited to the site's API endpoints. A careful reading can help you distinguish the different situations.

Security-cookie attributes — details

Here is the context for this part of the site. The form cookie is marked HttpOnly and SameSite Strict, and is marked Secure when the public site is configured for HTTPS. These attributes restrict how it is read and sent by the browser. Blocking it can prevent the protected form from accepting a question. A careful reading can help you distinguish the different situations.

Saving your poker position

Keep these details in view as you continue. With local saving enabled, the current table state is retained under this site's holdem-v1 storage prefix. Each game mode has its own saved position. This lets the browser resume a compatible table without a player account or a database-backed game session. A careful reading can help you distinguish the different situations.

Statistics and hand history — details

Consider these points when using this feature. Local records track hands dealt, completed-hand outcomes and a bounded recent history. They are used for the My Statistics and Hand History pages on this domain. The built-in application does not use these records to create a public player profile or cross-domain leaderboard. Read this alongside the related information on this site.

Remembering your choices — details

This overview brings the relevant details together. The preferences record stores whether game saving and sound are enabled. Turning saving off clears existing game records but retains that preference, so the site can honor it on a later visit. Game sounds are generated locally rather than downloaded from a tracking service. Use this explanation as a reference during your next visit.

Storage duration

The key details are straightforward. The preferences and saved table records do not carry a fixed browser expiry date in this application. They remain until cleared, replaced, removed by the browser or affected by a compatibility change. Detailed hand history is limited to the most recent 100 retained completed hands. A careful reading can help you distinguish the different situations.

Change or remove stored data — details

Keep these details in view as you continue. Use Privacy & Cookie Settings to disable local saving or clear poker records for this domain. Use browser controls to inspect or delete the form cookie and other site data. These actions do not delete a question that was already submitted to the operator. These details provide context for the choices described here.

Questions about storage — details

Here is the context for this part of the site. Contact [email protected] if you need help identifying the built-in records described here. Include the page or feature involved rather than sending complete browser storage contents. The Privacy Policy explains contact submissions and technical request information beyond cookies and local storage. These details provide context for the choices described here.
