Cookies

This site uses no cookies

None of our own and none from third parties. There are no session cookies, no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no personalisation cookies. That is also why you will not see a banner asking for your permission: there is nothing to consent to.

There are no third-party scripts of any kind either. We do not use Google Analytics or any other measurement tool, there are no social media pixels, and the fonts are served from our own server, so your browser never contacts Google when the page loads.

What your browser does store

The challenges and the rulebook assistant need to remember a few things between visits. For that we use local storage (localStorage), which is not the same as a cookie: it is never sent to the server. It stays on your device and we cannot read it.

Key	What it is for	How long it lasts
pg:<mode>:<date>	The day’s game in a challenge: which players you have already tried, so reloading does not start you over	Clears itself when the day changes
pg:pairs-men:game	The game in progress in the pairs challenge: lives and streak	Until the game ends
pg:pairs-men:best	Your best streak in the pairs challenge	Until you delete it
pg:rules-chat:<language>	Your conversation with the rulebook assistant, so it is still there if you reload	24 hours

None of this identifies you or is combined with anything else. It is games you have played and text you have written.

How to delete it

All of the above disappears if you clear the site’s browsing data from your browser. In most of them you get there from the padlock in the address bar, under something like “Site settings” or “Clear data”. Browsing privately also stops anything being kept from one session to the next.

Deleting it only means losing your saved games and your chat history. The site carries on working the same.
