COOKIES & PRIVACY / UPDATED 29 OCTOBER 2026
Your games.
Your privacy.
Geck Arcade is a public game hub created by @Playferkeeps69 with the help of AI.
What this hub stores
This site currently sets no cookies. It uses localStorage, a browser feature that keeps small amounts of information on your device. Optional storage is off until you choose to allow it.
| Storage key | Purpose | Choice and retention |
|---|---|---|
geck-arcade-privacy | Your essential/optional choice and when it was made. | Essential. Up to 180 days. |
geck-arcade-last-opened | The ID of the last game opened from this hub and when it was opened. | Optional, after opt-in. Up to 180 days. |
geck-arcade-player-v1 | Your arcade handle, private player key and signed session, created only when you join the board. | sessionStorage for this tab by default. localStorage for up to 30 days only if you select “Remember this player”. Forget this player removes the identity from this device. |
Your choices
Choose Essential only to browse without saving a last-opened game. Accept optional enables that convenience. Manage choices lets you decide before saving. You can reopen Privacy choices in the hub footer at any time. Turning optional storage off deletes the saved game preference. Expired records are ignored and cleared on your next visit. Clearing this site's browser data removes these records. If browser storage is unavailable, choices work for the current page and the prompt can return on your next visit.
CHANGE PRIVACY CHOICESOptional public leaderboard
Joining explicitly opts in to publishing your handle, per-game high scores, plays, finished runs and wins. Supported games receive a signed identity in a URL fragment, remove it from the address bar and keep it in sessionStorage for that tab for up to 30 days. Only actual gameplay sends play and score updates to the arcade. You can stop sharing from the in-game Arcade Board control. Forget this player clears the identity on this hub; already opened games have their own Stop sharing control. No game save files are uploaded. Back up player downloads your private player key and handle to a file you control; Restore a player backup lets you use that identity on another device.
Records are stored privately on Vercel; public API responses contain handles and ranking totals, never player keys. Request IP addresses are converted into hourly salted hashes for rate limiting; raw addresses are not stored in the leaderboard. Run IDs prevent duplicate counting and are pruned after seven days when a new play is recorded. When you join or update a player, we privately record the Terms of Service version you accepted and the acceptance time. This is separate from optional browser-storage consent. Published records remain on the board until removed; forgetting a local player does not delete already published scores. Contact the creator to request removal. Existing history from before leaderboard integration cannot be reconstructed.
Anonymous page analytics
Geck Arcade uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand visits to the arcade page. It collects aggregate information such as page views, referrers, country, browser and device type without using cookies. Our page-view integration strips query parameters and URL fragments before sending the page address. We do not send arcade handles, player keys, game saves or leaderboard scores as analytics events. The optional last-opened-game setting is separate from these anonymous page statistics. See Vercel Web Analytics privacy information for details.
Pages, hosting and external links
The hub has no email login, advertising scripts, wallet connection or embedded social widgets. An optional arcade player identity supports shared rankings. Its images and scripts are served from this site. Vercel hosts the pages and processes web requests to deliver them; see Vercel's privacy policy for its hosting practices.
Games, the creator's X profile, and official lore links open separate websites. Those sites have their own storage and privacy practices. Game saves stay on each game's domain and are not read by this hub. Your choice here does not change a game's own save settings.
