Privacy Policy

Big Card Solitaire does not collect personal data, and we do not sell or share information about you. We do not set tracking cookies ourselves. The one measurement script we run is Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies or individual identifiers. We plan to show ads from Google on article pages; how that works, and how to opt out, is explained under Advertising below.

What we collect

The only information the site stores about you is a single setting in your own browser's localStorage: the card size you have chosen on the game boards. The key is named bigcardsolitaire:zoom and the value is a number between 0.9 and 2.0. We use it so the cards stay the size you picked the next time you visit. It never leaves your browser, and we cannot read it from our side.

If you clear your browser's site data for bigcardsolitaire.com, the setting goes with it.

What we do not collect

• No account, no signup, no email address.
• No traditional tracking scripts. We do not run Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or any other measurement service that sets cookies or collects personal information. We do use Cloudflare Web Analytics — a small (~3 KB) script that reports aggregate pageview counts and route popularity to our dashboard. It does not set cookies, does not assign individual identifiers, does not record what you click or how long you stay, and shares no data with third parties. We use it to understand which articles are useful and how the site is growing — nothing more.
• No tracking cookies.
• No social media buttons, embedded videos, or third-party widgets that would phone home on your behalf.
• No fingerprinting. We do not record your device, browser version, screen size, or any other identifying signal beyond what your browser sends to any web server (your IP address, which our hosting provider sees but we never look at).

Your rights under data protection law

As we operate in Iceland under EU/EEA data protection rules (GDPR), you have certain rights regarding personal data even when no personal data is collected. Since we do not collect, store, or process any personal data about you, there is nothing for us to provide access to, rectify, erase, or transfer. The only data stored locally on your own device is your card zoom preference, which you control entirely — you can clear it any time through your browser settings (Settings → Privacy → Clear site data, or equivalent for your browser).

If you ever have questions about how we handle data, contact us at info@bigcardsolitaire.com. We respond within reasonable time.

Third parties

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. When you load a page, Cloudflare sees your IP address and a request log, the same as any web host would. Cloudflare's dashboard surfaces aggregate request counts per page, and Cloudflare Web Analytics (described above) adds aggregate page-view counts. Neither uses cookies or identifies individual visitors — this is the only visibility we have into site traffic. Cloudflare may also set short-lived functional cookies named __cf_bm or cf_clearance to block automated abuse of the site. These are not tracking cookies and we do not control them; their full handling is covered by Cloudflare's own privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Apart from Cloudflare (hosting and Web Analytics) and, once ads are enabled, Google as our advertising partner (see Advertising), we do not use any third-party service that would receive information about you. No CDN for fonts, no other analytics, no embedded content from other domains.

Advertising

We plan to show ads from Google AdSense on article pages, to cover hosting costs and support continued development. Ads will never appear on or next to a game board. Until ads are enabled, no advertising script runs on this site. When ads are enabled:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Before any advertising cookie is set, visitors are asked for consent through a consent banner, and that choice can be changed at any time.

Children

Big Card Solitaire is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and the site is designed around an adult audience.

Changes to this policy

If the privacy practices on this site change, we will update this page and revise the date below. We do not have a mailing list to notify, so if this matters to you, please check back when something on the site looks new.
