Privacy Policy
Short, because the site collects very little. Everything below describes what the software actually does.
Last updated September 2026
There is no account
Jumpcade has no sign-up, no sign-in and no password. We never ask for your name, your email address, your phone number or your payment details, and there is nowhere on the site to enter them.
The one cookie we set
The first time you do something the site has to remember — save a favorite, or open a game — our server issues a random identifier and stores it in a cookie called jc_uid. It is httpOnly, which means page scripts cannot read it, and it identifies a browser rather than a person.
Against that identifier we store:
- The games you marked as favorites.
- The games you opened, and when.
- Your daily streak: its current length, its longest, and the last day you played.
That is the complete list. We do not store your IP address against it, we do not build a profile from it, and we do not sell, rent or share it.
Games are third parties
Each game runs in a frame served by its publisher, not by us. Inside that frame the publisher and their advertising partners can set their own cookies and collect their own data, under their own policies — we have no visibility into it and no control over it. Currently games reach us through GameMonetize.
If that matters to you, the practical control is your browser: blocking third-party cookies leaves the catalog fully working and affects only what happens inside a game.
Server logs
Our servers keep ordinary request logs — the path requested, the response status, how long it took, and an identifier for the request — so that failures can be diagnosed. They are operational records, they are not joined to your cookie, and they are not used to profile anyone.
Analytics and advertising
We count page views, using Umami — an analytics program that runs on our own server. It sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device, so there is nothing here to consent to and nothing for you to clear. What it records is the page, the referring site, and the rough shape of the visit: country, browser, operating system, screen size.
It does not keep your IP address. To tell one visit from another it hashes the address together with your browser string and a secret that changes daily, keeps the hash, and discards the rest. That is deliberately a one-way door: the following day the same visitor is a different number, so there is no way to follow anyone across days and no identifier for us to hand over or to lose.
The data never leaves our server, and there is no advertising network of our own on these pages — no tracking pixel, no tag manager, no fingerprinting. If any of that changes, this page changes with it before the code ships.
If you would rather not be counted at all, the counter checks for a flag you can set yourself. Open your browser console on this site and run localStorage.setItem('umami.disabled', 1). It stays until you clear it, and it is the only thing either of us stores in your browser on our account.
Erasing what we have
Clear cookies for this site in your browser. The identifier is gone, and with it every way we have of connecting the stored favorites, history and streak to you. You can also write to the address published on our contact page and ask us to delete the record — send the request from the browser holding the cookie so we can tell which one to remove.
Children
The site is general audience and collects no personal information from anyone, including children. There is nothing here for a child to enter about themselves.
Changes
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes. We do not have your email address and so cannot notify you — checking this page is the only mechanism, which is a good reason for us to keep the policy this short.
