Cookies and storage
No cookies. Here is what there is instead
Last updated October 9, 2026
Alibi Town sets no cookies, of any kind: none of ours, none for advertising, none for analytics. That is why there is no cookie banner. The game does keep a few things in your browser's own storage so it can remember your town. Nothing in that storage is sent to us unless the Privacy page says so.
Kept until you clear it
| What | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Your town | The map, the case files and the residents' records. This is the game. |
| Your table | The names last typed for the players, and how many townsfolk sat in, so you needn't type them again. |
| Your Daily Alibi results | The last fourteen days and your streak. |
| Today's date | So one browser is not counted as a new visitor twice. |
| Whether the music is on | So it stays the way you left it. |
| Your key and the seasons it opens | Only if you bought or entered one. So the seasons play without asking the server each time. |
| A gift waiting to be given | Only if you bought one. The key, until you say you have handed it over. |
| Your town page's link and its pass | Only if you made one. The pass is what lets this browser update or remove the page. |
| A phone room's code and your seat's pass | Only while you are in a room. So a refresh or a locked screen comes back to the same seat. |
Kept until you close the tab
| What | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| That the welcome-back note was dismissed | So it doesn't reappear on every screen. |
| That a refund locked a season | So the game can tell you once, after reloading. |
Removing it
- "Start a new town" on the Town page erases the town.
- Clearing this site's data in your browser's settings erases everything above.
- Playing in a private window keeps nothing after you close it.
