"Cookies" here means small data Storage items your browser keeps on Playjar's behalf or on behalf of a third party loading inside the page — actual HTTP cookies, localStorage entries, sessionStorage entries, and similar. Below is the complete list and how to turn each off.
From Playjar itself
Playjar doesn't set any first-party cookies. The site is static HTML; there's
nothing to remember server-side. Should you ever see a localStorage entry from
playjar.cc, it'll be a transient UI preference (e.g. dismissed
notification) that you can clear from your browser's storage settings without
affecting your ability to play games.
From Cloudflare
Cloudflare may set a __cf_bm cookie for bot management. It's a security cookie, doesn't track identity, and expires within 30 minutes. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is intentionally cookieless.
From Google AdSense
When AdSense scripts run, Google may set a handful of cookies, including:
- NID — used by Google across products to remember preferences and personalize ads (~6 months)
- IDE — used by DoubleClick to measure ad performance (~13 months)
- __gads / __gpi — used to limit ad frequency and measure ad-related actions
- FPID, FPLC — first-party identifier used in regions where first-party measurement is required
Manage these directly at Google Ads Settings. Setting personalization off there stops the personalized advertising behavior network-wide for your Google account.
From inside embedded games
Each game on Playjar runs inside an iframe served by a content partner (GameDistribution). That frame is a separate origin and can set its own cookies and storage under its own policy. Cookies from the iframe are blocked under modern browser third-party cookie policies in most cases.
How to refuse cookies, by category
- All cookies — browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) let you block per-site or globally.
- Advertising personalization — Google Ads Settings.
- Industry-wide opt-out — aboutads.info (NAI/DAA) or youronlinechoices.eu (EDAA).
What happens if you block everything
Playjar still works. Games still load and play. Ads will still appear but they'll be less relevant (which is sometimes more honest than the personalized version).
Updates
This policy is dated. If the set of cookies that Playjar or its partners use changes materially, we'll update both the date and the listing above, and post a notice on the home page for 30 days. Questions go to [email protected].
