Last updated: 7 April 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information about your visit. We also use browser local storage, which works similarly.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

Essential (Local Storage)

• tambola-session: Stores your username and room ID so you can reconnect if your connection drops. Cleared when you close the browser tab.
• tambola-theme: Remembers your dark/light mode preference.
• tambola-lang: Remembers your selected language.
• tambola-numHouses: Remembers your preferred number of tickets.

Authentication (Firebase)

• Firebase Authentication uses IndexedDB and cookies to maintain your sign-in session across page reloads. These are managed by Google Firebase.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

• _ga, _ga_*: Google Analytics cookies used to distinguish unique users and track anonymous usage patterns. These cookies expire after 2 years.

3. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential storage may affect your ability to reconnect to games or save preferences.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We may update this Cookie Policy as new features are added. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
