Cookie Policy
What this site stores on your device, why, and how to get rid of it.
Last updated 19 August 2026.
1. Cookies, and what we mean by them
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store and send back on later visits. Related technologies — local storage, session storage and pixels — do similar jobs and are treated the same way by Article 82 of French Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978, which implements Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, read alongside the GDPR and the CNIL's guidelines and recommendation on trackers.
Under those rules, storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has explicitly requested does not require consent. Everything else does — and we have chosen not to use anything else.
2. Everything this site stores
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
td_best | Local storage (first party) | Remembers your highest Drift Bang score so the game can display your personal best. Contains a single number. Never transmitted to us or anyone else. | Until you clear your browser data | No — strictly necessary for a feature you requested by playing |
td_progress_v1 | Local storage (first party) | Remembers which campaign missions you have completed, your best score and medal for each, which cars you have unlocked, which car you last selected, your top ten runs for the on-device leaderboard, and running totals (points, races, distance, near misses, cells, collisions and drift time) shown on your dashboard. Contains only mission and car identifiers, numbers and the timestamp of each recorded run — no personal data. Never transmitted to us or anyone else. | Until you clear your browser data | No — strictly necessary for a feature you requested by playing |
td_users_v1 | Local storage (first party) | Holds the optional racer profiles created on this device: for each profile, the username, the email address you typed, a random salt and a salted hash of the password (never the password itself), and the creation time. Profiles exist only in this browser — nothing is transmitted to us or anyone else, and we cannot see, verify or reset them. | Until you clear your browser data | No — created only when you choose to sign up |
td_session_v1 | Local storage (first party) | Remembers which of the profiles above is currently logged in on this device, and when it logged in. Removed when you log out. Never transmitted to us or anyone else. | Until you log out or clear your browser data | No — created only when you choose to log in |
That is the complete list. There is no second table hidden further down this page.
3. What we deliberately do not use
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, no self-hosted analytics, no page-view counters, no heatmap or session-recording tools.
- No advertising or conversion pixels. We advertise on Google Ads, but the Google Ads conversion tag, the Google tag (gtag.js) and the remarketing tag are not installed on this site — including on the pages people reach from our adverts.
- No remarketing or audience tags. We cannot follow you around the internet and we don't want to.
- No social media embeds. No share widgets, no embedded video players, no comment systems.
- No third-party fonts, scripts or CDNs. Every file the site loads comes from our own domain, so no other company sees your IP address as a result of visiting us.
- No consent-management platform, because with nothing to consent to it would be the only tracker on the page.
4. Server logs are not cookies
Our web server records requests in an access log — IP address, timestamp, URL, status code and user-agent. This is a server-side record, not storage on your device, so it isn't a cookie and Article 82 consent doesn't apply. It is personal data, and section 2.2 of our Privacy Policy explains how we handle and delete it.
5. Removing what we store
Clearing this storage removes it for good; we hold no copy.
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data → "Cookies and other site data".
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → select this site → Remove.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search and services → Clear browsing data → tick "Cookies and other site data".
- Safari (macOS): Safari → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → select this site → Remove.
- Safari (iOS): Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data → swipe this site → Delete.
Private or incognito browsing discards the entries automatically when you close the window. Blocking storage for this site entirely is fine too — the game plays exactly the same, it just won't remember your best score or your progress.
6. If this ever changes
Should we introduce any non-essential cookie or similar technology — including a Google Ads conversion tag — we will publish it in the table above, update the date at the top of this page, and ask for your consent through a banner before setting it, in line with the CNIL's recommendation: refusing as easy as accepting, no pre-ticked boxes, and your choice remembered and re-askable. Nothing non-essential will be set before you agree.
