I went to go to cookie clicker and it auto-opened a new game and I Can't seem to get back my original game. It coincided with the server being down. I assume I just gotta dig up the last time I saved and there's no other way to retrieve it?

PSA ⚠️ due to the way our servers work, if there’s an outage somewhere that results in the http version not loading, it’ll serve you the https version instead! both versions use their own save slot, so if you were normally playing on http you’ll be greeted with a seemingly blank game! your save is still there on the other version. keep retrying the http url until it works!

in the future we’re considering phasing out the http version to prevent quirks like this (it’ll still be accessible but will periodically remind you to migrate your save to https, which is more secure anyway). for those who use this feature to have 2 different saves going on maybe we’ll just add the ability to have multiple save slots!
