Similar technologies include browser local storage, pixels, web beacons, and device or advertising identifiers.

3. Essential, analytics, and advertising purposes
- Essential or preference storage keeps local game statistics and records privacy choices.
- Analytics storage helps us understand site usage, diagnose problems, and improve pages and gameplay.
- Advertising storage may help deliver and measure ads and prevent abuse. Personalised advertising is used only where permitted and subject to applicable choices.
4. Third-party services
Google Analytics is used on the site. Google AdSense or another advertising service may also be enabled. These services may receive technical information such as the page URL, IP address, browser details, and cookie or device identifiers.
5. Managing cookies and local storage
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and site data. Blocking storage may prevent local statistics from being saved and may affect analytics or advertising.
You can clear Klondike Solitaire data in your browser’s privacy or site-settings panel. You can also use browser extensions or provider controls to limit analytics and advertising.
6. Updates and contact
Cookie names, providers, and durations can change when browsers or external services update their technology. We will update this page when the site’s material use of cookies changes.
