Last updated: 14 November 2026. Taste of China / 一箸山河 is an independently operated Chinese cooking browser game.
The online game uses an anonymous player ID and a secure, HttpOnly, SameSite cookie. The server stores a hash of the secret session token. No email, phone number, payment or compulsory signup is needed. Your editable chef name is public. Do not put personal details in it.
The server stores recipe draws, owned recipes, cooking inputs, completed scores, difficulty, scoring version and active cooking time. This allows it to verify scores and show shared rankings. Public records expose your nickname, pseudonymous player ID, dish, difficulty, score and time. Shared challenge links point to a specific record. The game stores local progress and pending synchronization in your browser.
The game can count starts, completions, successful cooks, loading failures and share actions. Share counters are aggregated by day; they do not contain message contents or the app you chose. Completing a share dialog does not prove a message was delivered. There are no third-party analytics scripts.
You may change your name, switch off sound, and play owned recipes offline. Offline scores are not shown as verified online records. Clearing cookies or browser data can lose access to an anonymous identity; this version has no cross-device recovery account. Old local scores are kept separate from the new ranking rules.
No advertising scripts are enabled. Advertising approval, consent requirements and provider-specific notices must be completed before ads are activated.
The public game uses Cloudflare Workers and D1 to serve pages and store game records. Requests are processed by Cloudflare infrastructure, which may be outside your country. Hosting providers process network information such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the service. Game records are retained for collection, score verification and rankings until removed in response to a valid request or as part of service maintenance. No automatic short retention period is promised.
Contact the Taste of China / 一箸山河 operator at support@whattoshoot.com for access, correction or deletion requests. Include your chef name and a shared record link if available. We may ask you to demonstrate control of the anonymous player identity before changing private records; never email a password or session cookie. If you have lost that browser identity, we may be unable to identify or verify ownership of its records. Removing browser data alone does not delete server records.
