The short version
Pinicolla ("we", "us", "our") is a free-to-play entertainment website designed to need as little information about you as possible:
- Signing up takes only a name and, if you like, a nickname.
- Your profile, Coco Coin balance and progress are kept in your browser, not on our servers.
- We never ask for passwords, payment cards, bank details or other financial information.
- We don't use advertising cookies or track you on other websites.
What we use
Sign-up details
Your name and optional nickname let us say hello, show your name in the top bar and let you log back in on the same browser.
Gameplay and rewards
To run the site's features we keep your Coco Coin balance, which games you've played, time played, XP, level, badges, daily streak, milestones and a short list of recent coin activity.
Preferences
We remember choices like your rest-reminder setting and whether you've seen the cookie notice.
Contact form
If you contact us, you share your name, email address and message so we can reply — see "Messages" below.
Browser storage
Sign-up, gameplay and preference information is saved in your browser's localStorage and stays on your device until you clear it, so your profile and coins are still there next time.
| Key | Type | What it's for | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
pin.profiles.v1 | localStorage | Profiles saved on this browser: name, nickname, Coco Coin balance, progress and rewards | Until site data is cleared |
pin.activePlayer.v1 | localStorage | Which profile is signed in | Until you log out or clear site data |
pin.settings.v1 | localStorage | Preferences such as rest reminders | Until site data is cleared |
pin.cookieNotice.v1 | localStorage | Remembers that you've seen the cookie notice | Until site data is cleared |
pin.session.v1 | sessionStorage | When this visit started and minutes played | Until the tab is closed |
Session storage
We use sessionStorage for the current visit only — like when it started and how many minutes you've played — so optional rest reminders can pop up. It's cleared automatically when you close the tab or window.
Our embedded games
Our 39 games are hosted on pinicolla.com and load inside each game page. They can read your nickname and Coco Coin balance so you can play with your coins. Nothing else about you is shared with them.
Cookies
The site itself doesn't set advertising or tracking cookies. Our host may set strictly necessary technical cookies (for security or load balancing), and fonts are served by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when fonts load. See our Cookie Policy.
Messages
When you contact us through the form or by email, we use your name, email address and message only to reply, and keep the conversation only as long as we need to help you.
You're in control
Your information lives in your browser, so it's up to you:
- Log out from the sidebar or player menu to end your session on this browser.
- Delete your data any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings — your profile, coins and progress are permanently removed.
- In a private or incognito window, your profile disappears when the window closes.
We can't see, restore or move browser-stored profiles, because they never reach our servers.
Children
Pinicolla is intended for people aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Changes and contact
