Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-26
SimpleCards (simplecards.net) is a free website for playing classic card games in your browser. This policy explains what information is and is not handled when you use the site.
Information we collect
SimpleCards has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no contact forms. We do not ask for, collect, or store your name, email address, or any other personal information on our servers.
Preferences stored on your device
The site uses your browser's localStorage to remember your chosen visual theme and card deck between visits. This data never leaves your device, is not transmitted to us or anyone else, and can be cleared at any time through your browser's site-data settings.
Advertising and cookies
SimpleCards uses Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
- You can opt out of some other third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Where required by law (for example in the European Economic Area and the UK), you will be shown a consent message before any advertising cookies are used, and non-personalized ads are shown if you decline.
Optional third-party card decks
The deck picker includes a few optional decks loaded from third-party hosts (deckofcardsapi.com and jsDelivr). If you select one of those decks, your browser fetches images from that host, which — like any web request — exposes your IP address to it. The default decks are served from simplecards.net and involve no third parties.
Server logs
Like virtually all websites, our hosting infrastructure may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security and reliability. These logs are not used to identify you.
Children's privacy
SimpleCards is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles data, this page will be updated and the date at the top revised.
