TacticalFoot public test · updated 13 October 2026
TacticalFoot is a free football tactics game made by Hand of Bot, an independent developer. You can reach us on X at @HandofBot.
What we keep
- The name you play under: a guest name the game makes up for you, or the nickname some players picked before sign-in with Google existed. A nickname is not an account: there is no password, and anyone who types the same nickname gets the same club. Please do not use your real name.
- Your Google account, if you sign in with it (the game offers it after your first match, and you can say no): only the number Google gives your account, so that your club is yours alone and comes back on any device you sign in on. Not your email address, not your name, not your picture. Your club then answers only a browser signed in with that account.
- Your game save: your club — with the name, the letters and the crest you give it —, your players and your progress, including the results of your last 30 matches (the day, the opponent, the score and who scored for you), so you can pick up where you left off on any device. The club's name is yours to choose: as with your nickname, please do not use your real name.
- How you play: the time spent playing (counted only while the game is on screen and in use), your visits and the days you came, the matches you start, finish or leave (with their mode, their score and the turn they ended at, and whether you left by closing the page), the steps of the guided first match you get through, whether your screen is a touch screen, and its size.
- Counts that say nothing about you: how many times the game is opened each day, how many of those visits come from our ads on X, and, when the game fails on a screen, the first words of the error, the name and version of the browser it failed in and of its system (for example "Safari 15 · iOS"), and whether that browser can draw 3D.
What we do not keep
No email, no password, no payment details, no contacts, no location. Your IP address is not stored. There are no advertising or analytics trackers. The game, its fonts and its images come from this site only — except Google's sign-in button, which is loaded from Google only when the sign-in card is on screen.
In your browser
The game keeps your save, the name you play under and your settings (the sound, the language, the graphics, the match speed, reduced motion) in your browser's
local storage, so it can open your club again as you left it. One cookie, set by this site only and for a year, holds that same name (tf_player), so the game
still knows you if that storage is cleared. If you sign in with Google, a second cookie (tf_session, for a
year) proves to our server that this browser is signed in, and the email address of the account is kept in your
browser only, to show you which account is signed in — it is never sent to us. Signing out, or clearing this site's
data, removes them.
To open without a connection, the game also keeps a copy of its own files (the game, its fonts and its icons) in your browser. It holds nothing about you, and clearing this site's data removes it.
Why
To save your progress, and to understand how the test is played — how long people play, where they stop — so we can make the game better. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone.
Where it lives
On our own server. The site is reached through Cloudflare, which carries the traffic and, like any network, sees your IP address as it passes (Cloudflare's privacy policy). Signing in with Google happens on Google's side, in Google's own window, under Google's privacy policy.
Questions
