Cookies and storage
Last updated: 14 October 2026
BroadRoads doesn't use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and doesn't load anything from third-party ad or analytics networks. Fonts and game files come from our own servers. The game keeps a few things in your browser so it works and remembers your choices; this is necessary for the Service you ask for, so no consent banner is needed. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings (you'll be signed out and settings reset).
| What | Where | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-in token and player name | Local storage | Keeps you signed in (guests: keeps your guest account) | Until you log out; the token itself expires after 30 days |
| Settings | Local storage | Graphics, sound, controls, accessibility, language and region choices | Until you clear it |
| Small flags | Local storage | Whether you finished the tutorials, saw the latest patch notes, were already offered the full download, a pending invite code | Until you clear it |
| Offline profile | Local storage | Your progress in offline mode (never leaves your device) | Until you clear it |
| Downloaded game files | Cache Storage and a service worker | Faster loading and offline play; only after you choose to download the game or HD pack | Until you remove the download in Settings or clear site data |
| Notification subscription | Your browser's push service | Only if you turn notifications on | Until you turn them off |
Staff who use our private admin tools (dev.broadroads.com) get a strictly necessary session cookie there; players never do.
