Andrew West runs this app. Contact admin@parent.games with questions. Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser. We use them for the player, messaging and admin features you request. We do not add advertising, marketing or audience-tracking cookies, or use local storage to track you.
Player and spectator cookies
- domino_session — a random identifier used by this app to remember the player on your device and authorise game actions. Set when a game action is saved, with a 90-day browser lifetime refreshed on saved actions. The player cookie alone never grants game access; you must also be signed in to the adult account managing that player.
- watch_session — a random identifier used by this app to limit repeated spectator messages. Set when you send a message and refreshed for seven days when you send again.
Simply viewing the public scores does not require joining or a player cookie. These cookies are sent over HTTPS and cannot be read by page scripts.
Account sign-in
Clerk uses necessary cookies to keep you signed in and protect sign-in requests, including __session (a short-lived signed session token, refreshed during an active session), __client_uat (session update information) and client/session cookies on the account service’s domain. Browser cookie lifetimes and account session expiry are different: our free Clerk plan uses a seven-day session lifetime. Signing out ends the active sign-in session. See Clerk’s cookie information. A selected social provider may also use its own cookies on its sign-in pages; its notices explain these. These account cookies support the sign-in service you request and are not advertising cookies added by this app.
Host access
__Host-domino_host — remembers approved host access on this device for up to 90 days after activating a private invitation. It is Secure, HttpOnly and necessary to let that host create a game. Signing out removes this device’s access; Andrew can revoke all devices or replace the invitation at any time.
Adding to your home screen
Installation is optional and managed by your browser. The install shortcut does not track visits or save a reminder preference. Any reminder preference left by an earlier version is removed on your next visit.
Admin sign-in cookies
- __Host-domino_admin — this app’s protected admin session. It expires with the current six-hour Cloudflare sign-in, or earlier if the token expires. Signing out removes it.
- CF_Authorization — Cloudflare Access verifies admin sign-in. The application cookie follows our six-hour session; the separate sign-in-domain cookie follows Cloudflare’s configured sign-in session.
- CF_Session and CF_AppSession — Cloudflare Access security cookies used during admin authentication to prevent forged sign-in requests. Cloudflare documents lifetimes of four hours and 24 hours respectively.
These Cloudflare cookies relate to admin sign-in, not advertising. See Cloudflare’s authentication-cookie information for its current details.
Optional table-check counting
If you opt into “Table twitcher” in Bragging rights, we also use your existing player cookie to associate deliberate visits to the standings with your profile and display your count. This is off by default and unavailable for supervised children. Switch it off there to stop counting and remove your counts. No extra cookie is created.
Your choices
Our cookies support necessary service and security functions; the optional table-check feature has its own separate opt-in, so we do not show an “accept all” banner. If we introduce optional tracking, we will explain it and provide the choices required before it runs.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser’s site settings. Removing the app’s cookies signs this device out or forgets its player; blocking them prevents signing in, joining, messaging or admin features from working correctly. This does not erase saved scores or profiles. For those, contact Andrew using Help & report. Read the privacy notice for information about your data and rights.
