01 / What this covers
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website can ask a browser to send back. Similar technologies include local storage, which keeps data on the device. The Underdogs studio homepage does not set cookies through document.cookie or use script-managed browser storage.
The separate browser game uses local storage for essential game functionality. No optional analytics, advertising or marketing storage is configured in the current studio or game code, so this site does not show a misleading accept/reject banner.
02 / Current storage
Storage currently used
| Name or storage key | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
pawball_v5_0_10_save | Underdogs game | Stores the active game, including local gameplay and Messenger state. | Local storage | Until replaced or cleared | Essential game function |
pawball5_saves_meta and pawball5_save_slot1 to pawball5_save_slot3 | Underdogs game | Stores metadata and up to three manual game-save slots. | Local storage | Until replaced or cleared | Essential game function |
pawball_ambient_audio and pawball_radio_v1 | Underdogs game | Remembers audio and radio preferences. | Local storage | Until replaced or cleared | Essential preference |
pawball5_hint_sends | Underdogs game | Remembers how often a local Messenger help hint has been shown. | Local storage | Until replaced or cleared | Essential interface preference |
pawball_v5_0_10_save_corrupt_recovery | Underdogs game | May preserve a malformed active save for local recovery. | Local storage | Until cleared | Essential recovery function |
These are storage keys, not HTTP-cookie names. Their technical prefixes are retained by the game code, while the data belongs to the current Underdogs browser game.
03 / Studio homepage
No optional storage on the studio pages
The current studio homepage uses no optional cookies, analytics or advertising storage, and there is no consent preference to save. The local-storage entries above are created only by the separate game when its relevant features are used.
04 / Controls
Managing data in your browser
You can clear site data or block storage through your browser’s privacy or site-settings controls. Clearing Underdogs site data removes local active progress, manual saves, settings and locally stored Messenger history from that browser. Blocking local storage can stop save and preference features from working properly.
Browser controls differ, so use your browser’s own help or privacy settings for exact steps. Removing local data does not establish whether the separate live Messenger service may retain request records; see Privacy for the current verified scope.
05 / Third-party requests
Requests that are not optional storage
When a player uses the game’s live Messenger feature, the game makes a request to a configured Supabase Edge Function. That request is not an analytics or advertising cookie. The source does not load an analytics, advertising or marketing cookie tool.
For the broader processing description, read the Privacy page.
