Cookie Policy
The short version
- Oop Town doesn't use cookies for advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking.
- The game saves your progress in your browser's local storage, which works like a cookie but never leaves your device on its own.
- One stored item, your random player ID, is also sent with game events so we can count activity. It doesn't identify you.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Websites can also use "similar technologies" such as local storage and offline caches. Privacy laws like the EU ePrivacy rules treat all of these the same way, so this policy covers every one of them on oop.town.
Oop Town is run by an independent developer based in Texas, USA. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data overall.
What we store on your device
| Item | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game progress, crew town, items, settings | Local storage (essential) | Remembers your game between visits. Without it, the game can't work. | Until you clear browser data |
| Random player ID | Local storage (essential and analytics) | Ties your crew and drops together, and is sent with game events so we can count players, see what's fun, and catch bots | Until you clear browser data |
| Offline game files | Service worker cache (essential) | Loads the game quickly and lets it work with a weak or no connection, such as on a plane | Replaced with each game update |
| Small "seen" flags (for example, how-to screens you've finished) | Local storage (preference) | Stops the game from showing you the same tips again | Until you clear browser data |
We don't use marketing or advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics services. Our host may set or read technical data needed to deliver the site securely, under its own policies.
Managing storage
You're in control. Most browsers let you:
- see and delete stored site data, for a single site or for all sites;
- block storage from specific sites or from all sites;
- clear stored data automatically when you close the browser.
Look for "site data", "cookies and site data", or "website data" in your browser's settings. If you clear or block storage for oop.town, your game progress and crew are erased, you'll get a new player ID, and the game may not work properly.
Consent
Essential storage is used without asking because the game can't run without it. If you're in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and you'd like us to stop using your player ID for activity counts, email us and we'll honor your request.
Changes to this policy
If we start using new cookies or storage, we'll update this page and the date at the top before we do.
