Back Porch Games has no accounts and no sign-up. Here's everything the site stores.
Cookies and browser storage
When you first visit, a banner asks which optional cookies you allow. You can change your answer any time with , which is also at the bottom of every page.
| Type | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Your game in progress, your settings, your theme and your stats (games played, best times, daily streak), plus your cookie choice. They're kept in your browser's local storage on your own device and never sent to us. If you play a friend, local storage also keeps that game's code and your random player key, so you can come back to it. Clearing your browser data deletes them. | Always on |
| Analytics | Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without following you to other sites. It only loads if you allow analytics. | Off until you say yes |
| Advertising | The site shows no ads today. If that changes, ad partners may use cookies to show ads, including ads based on your visits to this and other sites, but only if you allow advertising. This page will be updated before any ads run. | Off until you say yes |
On our servers
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes basic request data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and block attacks.
Games with a friend
When you play a friend, the game runs on our server at Cloudflare so you both see the same table. The server keeps the cards, the moves, the score between the two of you and a random key for each player. It doesn't ask for or keep names, accounts or messages. A game is deleted 14 days after its last move. We also count how many friend games are started, joined and finished each day, with nothing about who played.
