10 Cards Rummy uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies to provide essential website functionality, maintain secure player sessions, support free Practice games, preserve gameplay progress, and ensure the proper operation of the platform.
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a web browser. Other browser technologies, such as local storage, may retain information necessary for gameplay and user convenience.
10 Cards Rummy does not use cookies for third-party behavioral advertising or to sell users' personal information.
Our aim is to use only the cookies and browser storage reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and improve the platform.
This Cookie Policy explains which technologies we use, their purposes, how long they may remain stored, and how users can manage them.
This policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
2. Essential Cookies and Login Sessions
2.1 Essential Cookies
10 Cards Rummy uses essential cookies necessary for the proper functioning, security, and operation of the platform.
These cookies support player authentication, secure sessions, free Practice games, and gameplay recovery.
2.2 Registered Player Login Cookie
When a registered player logs in, 10 Cards Rummy uses a cookie named rummy_session to recognize the authenticated account.
The cookie contains a randomly generated authentication token. Only a cryptographic hash of this token is stored in the platform's database.
The cookie may remain in the browser for up to two years unless removed, expired, or invalidated earlier.
Users are not required to retain this cookie for the full two-year period and may remove it at any time.
2.3 Free Practice Session Cookie
Visitors using free Practice may receive an essential session cookie that allows the platform to recognize their Practice session and restore an unfinished game.
This functionality does not require registration, an email address, or other personal account information.
2.4 Cookie Security
The platform uses security measures for its authentication cookies, including HttpOnly protection, SameSite restrictions, and secure transmission over HTTPS.
These measures help protect authentication information against unauthorized access and misuse.
2.5 No Advertising Purpose
Essential login and Practice cookies are used for platform functionality and security, not for third-party behavioral advertising or commercial tracking.
2.6 User Control and Early Removal
Users may delete cookies stored on their devices at any time through their browser settings.
Registered players may also contact 10 Cards Rummy at 10cardsrummy@tuta.io to request early invalidation of their login authentication token.
Removing or invalidating an authentication cookie may require the player to log in again.
Cookie removal does not automatically delete the player's registered account, tournament results, or other information retained in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
3. Browser Local Storage and Gameplay Preferences
3.1 Purpose of Browser Storage
In addition to cookies, 10 Cards Rummy uses browser local storage to support gameplay functionality, improve convenience, and maintain certain game settings.
This information is stored in the user's browser and helps the platform operate without requiring repeated actions from the player.
3.2 Gameplay and Card Arrangements
Browser storage may be used to preserve a player's preferred card arrangement and relevant gameplay settings.
This helps players maintain a consistent playing experience when refreshing the page or returning to an unfinished game.
Game progress may also be maintained on the server to support recovery of interrupted hands.
3.3 Restart Countdowns and Security
The platform may store temporary timing information to enforce restart restrictions and prevent abuse of gameplay functions.
This includes information associated with the 90-second restart restriction and relevant login security measures.
3.4 Previous Visits and Messages
Browser storage may remember whether a visitor has previously accessed the platform or viewed certain introductory messages.
This helps avoid displaying the same introductory information unnecessarily.
3.5 One-Time Practice Confirmation
When implemented, browser storage may remember a visitor's confirmation of the Terms & Conditions and minimum age requirement for free Practice.
This allows returning Practice visitors to continue playing without repeatedly completing the same confirmation.
A new confirmation may be necessary if the visitor clears browser data, uses another browser or device, or the applicable Terms are materially updated.
3.6 User Control
Users may remove locally stored information at any time through their browser settings.
Removing this information may reset certain preferences, confirmations, or countdown displays and may affect gameplay convenience.
Deleting browser storage does not automatically delete registered accounts or tournament records retained by the platform.
3.7 No Advertising Purpose
Browser local storage is used for platform functionality, security, and user convenience, not for third-party behavioral advertising.
