Privacy notice
What Lobby Meadow knows about a visitor
Very little. The site is a set of static pages with no accounts, no forms, no advertising and no analytics script. This notice was last revised on 11 November 2026.
Who is responsible for this site
Lobby Meadow is an independent guide to browser board and card games, published at lobbymeadow.com. For anything about personal data, write to [email protected].
The server log
Like any web server, the computer that hosts these pages writes a line for each request: the IP address, the date and time, the page asked for, and the browser and operating system named in the request. The hosting company keeps this log for security and fault-finding under its own retention period. Lobby Meadow does not combine it with anything else and does not try to work out who a visitor is.
The legal basis under the UK GDPR is legitimate interest in keeping the site online and safe.
One item stored in your browser
When you press Accept or Reject on the cookie bar, the browser saves a single entry in its local storage under the name lmCookieChoice, holding the word “accepted” or “rejected”. It never leaves your device and is not a cookie. The cookies page shows the saved answer and has a button to clear it.
The picker and the compare table run entirely in the browser. The answers you tick are not sent anywhere and are gone when the page is closed.
If you send an email
An email to [email protected] arrives with your address and whatever you wrote. It is used to answer you and to correct the site, and is deleted within 12 months unless the correspondence is still open. It is not added to a mailing list. Lobby Meadow has no newsletter.
Fonts, pictures and links to game sites
The two typefaces, Gabarito and Atkinson Hyperlegible, and all pictures are served from lobbymeadow.com itself. Opening a page makes no request to Google Fonts or any other outside server.
A link to a game takes you to CrazyGames or Poki. Each has a privacy notice of its own and shows adverts. The links carry no referral codes, so the game site is not told you came from here beyond the standard referrer your browser may send.
Your rights under UK data protection law
You can ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to its use. In practice the only data Lobby Meadow can find by name is email you have sent. Write to [email protected] and expect an answer within one month.
If the answer does not satisfy you, the Information Commissioner's Office takes complaints at ico.org.uk.
