Cookies and Local Storage Policy
Last updated 2026-07-25.
The short version
Party Jam uses no advertising or tracking cookies and loads no third-party analytics such as Google Analytics or social media pixels. We do not follow you across other websites.
What we do need is kept in your browser's local storage and in a couple of strictly necessary technical cookies — values without which the Service cannot work.
What is stored in your browser
| What | Why | When it goes away |
|---|---|---|
| Access and refresh tokens | Keep you signed in between visits, if you have an account | On sign-out or when you clear browser data |
| Player data (name, room code, reconnect token) | Get you back into a game after a dropped connection or a page reload | After the game ends or when you clear browser data |
| Sound and volume settings | Remember that you muted the game | Until you clear browser data |
| Selected language | Show the interface in the right language | Until you clear browser data |
| Feedback widget state | Avoid re-showing something you already dismissed | Until you clear browser data |
Cookies
We set no first-party cookies for analytics or advertising. We do set two strictly necessary technical cookies:
| Cookie | Why | When it goes away |
|---|---|---|
party-game-lang | Remember the language you picked, so we don't switch you to the version that matches your browser language | After a year, or when you clear browser data |
pg_s_<room code> | Get you back into a game when local storage turns out to be unavailable — for example when the link opened inside a QR scanner's built-in browser | After 2 hours, or when you leave the room |
We also keep a copy of the same reconnect token in the address bar, after the #. That part of a URL is never sent to the server; it exists for the case where you carry the link from one app to another.
Some further service cookies may appear when you:
- sign in with Google — set by Google as part of its authentication flow;
- pay for a subscription — set by our payment provider Paddle on its checkout pages.
Those cookies are governed by the respective companies' policies.
Managing this
You can clear local storage and cookies from your browser settings at any time. Note that doing so signs you out, and a game you had joined will not resume after a reload.
Because everything above is strictly necessary for the Service to function, we do not show a consent banner. If we ever add optional analytics or marketing tools, we will ask for your consent before enabling them and update this document.
