# Privacy and browser storage

## Game downloads

Choosing Play opens the edition selector, and selecting Regular or Lite requests the configured Cricket 07 resource manifest and downloads its files from our Cloudflare R2 storage (cdn.cricket-07.org) through a same-origin entry. Compressed game parts are inflated in your browser and written to your browser’s Origin Private File System (OPFS). No local game folder upload is required. Hosting and CDN providers receive standard HTTP request metadata such as IP addresses and headers when delivering files.

## Local storage

Installed Cricket 07 game files live in the c07game directory inside your browser’s Origin Private File System (OPFS), while immutable WebAssembly engine files use a dedicated Cache Storage entry when available. Your in-game profiles, rosters, tournaments, and match saves are stored separately in the OPFS userdata directory. Browser storage belongs to this domain, device, and browser profile.

## Backup and removal

Export saves reads your OPFS userdata directory locally and downloads a portable JSON backup (cricket-07-saves.json). Import saves restores a selected backup locally into OPFS without uploading your files to any server. Clear downloaded files removes only the c07game data directory and runtime cache while keeping your userdata saves intact. Using your browser’s Clear site data action can remove both game files and saves.

## Plausible analytics

On our production website, Plausible collects visit statistics across all HTML pages, including this privacy page, the about page, and error pages. The analytics script and collection service are provided through our configured Plausible endpoint. These statistics help us understand page usage without tracking personal identities.

## Adsterra advertising

When advertising is enabled, Adsterra banner and native ads load on the home page, game details, guides, and FAQ pages. Ads are excluded from the about page, this privacy page, error pages, and the game runtime. Loading an ad sends technical request information to third-party advertising providers, which may use cookies and process device and browsing information to deliver and measure advertising. Their privacy practices also apply.

## Accounts and gameplay telemetry

This implementation has no account system. It does not send in-game gameplay telemetry or save data to external analytics services.

## Third-party links

Links to external documentation or reference websites follow their own privacy practices. Visiting an external link is separate from playing a locally running game in this site’s browser player.
