Draw cards

The deck is shuffled and dealt in your browser, by the scripts listed below. Nothing leaves this page.

Enforced by your browser

This page's Content Security Policy allows a single destination, the site's audience measurement (connect-src https://stats.r-no.fr, see below), and forbids any form submission (form-action 'none'), so even a bug could not send what you type or draw anywhere. You can read the policy at the top of the page source.

Audience measurement

Like every page of the site, this one counts its visit with Umami, installed on R-no’s own server (stats.r-no.fr). It receives the address of the page, without parameters or anchor, the site you came from (its domain only), your browser, system, language and screen size, and the country, region and city deduced from your IP address, which is not kept. It never receives what you type, nor the result of the tool. No cookie, nothing stored in your browser; if your browser asks not to be tracked (Do Not Track), nothing is measured. The data is erased after 25 months.

• https://stats.r-no.fr/m.js: Umami’s tracker, open source (MIT), served by the measurement server. Its fingerprint is not shown here: it changes with each version of Umami, and you cannot check from your browser that it is the published code. For that part, you have to trust R-no.

What is stored

No cookie, and nothing in the address. The deck and the cards drawn are never stored: they disappear when you reload or close the page. Your language is given by the address itself (/en/ or /fr/): nothing is stored to remember it. Like any website, the server records the download of the page and its files in its access logs (IP address, date and time, address requested, browser name). It never receives what you type or draw.

Where the randomness comes from

Your browser's cryptographic random generator, crypto.getRandomValues (Web Crypto API). Draws that would favour some values are rejected rather than folded with a modulo, so every outcome is equally likely. The whole deck is shuffled once, when it is created, with the Fisher-Yates algorithm: every order of the cards has exactly the same chance. Cards are then dealt from the top, as at a table.

Check it yourself

Download a script and compare its fingerprint with the one above:
curl -s https://r-no.fr/random/cards/app.js | shasum -a 256

What a result proves

Nothing, to anyone else. A screenshot or a copied result does not show how many times the draw was repeated before this one, nor whether the page was modified. It is fine for deciding among yourselves; for a draw that others must be able to check (a contest, for instance), a verifiable draw tool is planned.

Limits

One deck at a time, and no hands dealt to several players. Changing the type of deck takes a new, full deck. Tarot suits use the usual spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs.
