Cookies and browser storage

Consider these points when using this feature. 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. The same principles apply each time you use this part of the site.

The form-security cookie — details

The key details are straightforward. 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

This overview brings the relevant details together. 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. Revisit the relevant section if a detail is unclear.

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. The same principles apply each time you use this part of the site.

Statistics and hand history

For this topic, keep the following in mind. 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

The key details are straightforward. 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. If a question remains, the FAQ form provides a way to contact the operator.

Storage duration

The explanation below covers the main points. 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. Read this alongside the related information on this site.

Change or remove stored data — details

This overview brings the relevant details together. 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. Use this explanation as a reference during your next visit.

Questions about storage

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. Use this explanation as a reference during your next visit.
