Cookies
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies Meya Games uses, what each one is for and how you can control them. We have kept it specific rather than generic, so you can see exactly what runs on this site.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember things between page loads, such as which language you chose. Alongside cookies, browsers offer local storage, which works in a similar way. We use both, and both are covered by this policy.
What we use, and why
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Essential | Our own session cookie. Keeps your visit working across pages. It expires when you close the browser and holds no personal data. |
| favGames | Preference | Local storage. The list of games you marked with the heart, so your favourites page works without an account. It never leaves your browser. |
| recentGames | Preference | Local storage. The games you played recently, used to show them again on the home page. It never leaves your browser. |
| Google Analytics | Analytics | Tells us how many people visit, which games are popular and where the site is slow. We look at totals, not individuals. |
| Google AdSense | Advertising | Serves the display ads that keep the site free and limits how often you see the same ad. |
| AdinPlay | Advertising | Serves the short video ad that plays before some games. |
We do not ask for personal data
Meya Games has no accounts, no sign-up and no login for players. We do not ask for your name, email address or payment details in order to play, and we do not sell data to anyone. Please do not send us personally identifiable information you do not need to share.
Server logs and IP addresses
Like almost every website, our server records requests it receives, including IP address, browser type and the page requested. We use these logs for security and for spotting technical faults, and we do not use them to build a profile of you.
Advertising and how to opt out
Our advertising partners may use cookies to make ads more relevant. You can turn personalised advertising off at any time without losing access to the games:
- Google ad settings: adssettings.google.com
- Industry opt-out tools: Your Online Choices and YourAdChoices
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies and local storage from its privacy settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working, and clearing local storage will empty your favourites and recently played list. Analytics and advertising cookies can be blocked with no effect on gameplay.
Children
Meya Games is made for a general audience and we keep the library family friendly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent and have a concern, write to us and we will act on it.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a service, we update this page. The technologies listed above are the ones in use today.
