Privacy Policy

Stratego Online does not have accounts, does not ask for an email address, and does not collect names, addresses or payment details. This page says what is stored instead.

Playing the game

Nothing about a match is sent anywhere. The board, the pieces and the computer opponent run inside your browser, and the state of a game in progress stays in that tab until you close it.

Cookies and local storage

The site sets a cookie to recognise an anonymous player, so that a nickname you choose and a comment you write stay attached to you across visits. There is no login behind it: the cookie holds a random identifier, not who you are. Clearing your browser's site data removes it, and you will simply look like a new visitor afterwards.

Comments

Comments are stored on the site's server so that other players can read them. A comment carries the name you typed, the text, the time, and the anonymous identifier above. If you type an email address into a comment it is published with the comment, so do not type one. Comments that contain links are rejected automatically.

Visitor statistics

Aggregate statistics are collected: page views, which page was opened, the referring site, the country and the type of device. These are counts, not profiles, and they are not used to identify anyone. Search engines and AI assistants that crawl the site are counted separately.

Advertising

This site does not show advertising at the moment and does not run third-party advertising scripts. If advertising is added later, this page will be updated before any ad code goes live.

Children

The game is suitable for all ages. Because the site collects nothing but a random cookie and whatever a visitor chooses to type in a comment, it does not knowingly hold personal information about anyone, children included.

Asking for something to be deleted

If you posted a comment and want it gone, say so under that comment or in the comment box on the home page and it will be removed. Since there are no accounts, there is no profile to delete beyond that.

Questions about this policy go to the same place: the comment box under the board on the home page.
