The short version
We use one cookie, to keep you signed in, and store your game in your browser so it's quick and works offline. We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and no one else sets cookies through LingoVale. Because everything below is strictly necessary for the game to work, the law doesn't require us to ask for your consent, so you won't see a cookie banner.
What we store
| Name | Type | What it's for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
sm_session | Cookie | Keeps you signed in, so the game knows it's you. It can only be read by our server, not by scripts in the page. | One year, or until you log out |
sobremesa | Browser database (IndexedDB) | A copy of your game progress, and any changes waiting to be saved, so the game loads fast and works offline. | Until you log out, delete your account, or clear your browser's data |
shell and audio | Offline caches | The game's files and the Spanish voice clips, so the game opens without a connection and doesn't download the same sounds twice. | Until the game updates, or you clear your browser's data |
| A small counter | Session storage | Remembers which animation you've already seen in this visit, so it doesn't replay. | Until you close the tab |
Controlling them
You can delete all of these from your browser's settings at any time. If you block or delete the sm_session cookie, you'll need to sign in again. If you delete the browser database while you're offline, any changes that haven't been saved to our servers will be lost.
