Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 12, 2026
New Old Gamer ("we") runs newoldgamer.com and its game subdomains (such as chess.newoldgamer.com and party.newoldgamer.com). We keep data collection to a minimum. This page explains what is collected and how you can control it.
No accounts
You don't need an account to play. We don't ask for your email, and we don't sell personal information.
Cookies and local storage
Our games don't use cookies to track you. Some games save small settings in your browser's local storage (for example, a display name you typed or your game preferences) so they're remembered on your device. That data stays in your browser, and you can clear it at any time in your browser settings.
Third parties, including Google, may set cookies when ads are shown (see below).
Advertising (Google AdSense)
The home page may show ads served by Google AdSense. There are no ads inside the games.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Anonymous playtime stats
To sort the home page by the most-played games, each game reports how many seconds it was actively played, along with the game's name. No user ID, cookie, name, or device identifier is sent or stored with it. We keep only running totals per game.
Online game rooms
When you play online (for example, Pixel Chess or Party Pack rooms), the display name you enter and your moves or answers are sent to our server to run the game. Room data is only kept as long as needed for the game to work.
Suggestion form
If you use the "What should we build next?" form, we store the game idea, any notes, and the name you choose to enter (optional). To prevent spam, we also keep a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address for a short time to rate-limit submissions. We don't keep your raw IP address. The game titles of ideas we plan to build may be shown publicly on the home page, without your name.
Server logs
Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may process technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.
Children
The site is made for families. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. Please don't enter real full names in name fields.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
