# Cow Hunter – Privacy

Cow Hunter is a free browser arcade. You have ninety seconds, a car of your choice and a pen full of cows. Nothing to install, no account, no ads. Scores are filed in a shared table that everyone reads from the same service.

## Privacy

Four things are counted, by a counter running on this site’s own server: the page opened, a round started, a round ended, a score was filed. No analytics service, no advertising pixel, no third-party script of any kind.

Your address, your browser’s user agent and today’s date are hashed together with a secret salt. The hash is kept, the address is thrown away, and only a country is taken from it. The hash changes at midnight, so joining the same person across two days is not something anyone can do, whoever holds the database included. Raw rows are dropped after thirty days.

No cookies at all. Local storage keeps your settings and your name, so the field is already filled in next time; nothing is ever read out of it and uploaded. The name leaves your machine once, with a run you file, alongside the vehicle you drove and the round itself. The fonts ship with the page, so your browser is sent to no other host.

## About

Cow Hunter was written by Sergei Vorniches, software engineer and product maker. The country theme over the menu came from Pixabay; the rest of the music was written by the author.

The game is free and there is nothing to buy in it. No account exists, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.
