Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 September 2026
Cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser's local storage) store small pieces of information on your device. We sort them into three categories. Only strictly necessary ones are used without your consent; analytics and advertising load only after you allow them.
You can change your choice at any time: .
1. Strictly necessary
Needed for the games to work. They cannot be switched off, and none of this data is sent to us.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| gc:player:v1 (local storage) | Game progress, results, streak, statistics, settings, random player ID | Until you clear site data |
| gc:consent:v1 (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you change it or clear site data |
| gc:auth (local storage) | Keeps you signed in (only if you create an account) | Until you sign out |
| gc:ranks:v1 (local storage) | Remembers which results were sent to the leaderboard and your rank | Until you clear site data |
| gc:pwa:* (local storage) | Remembers whether you dismissed the “add to home screen” tip | Until you clear site data |
| Service worker cache | Makes the app load faster and installable on your home screen | Until updated or cleared |
2. Analytics (optional)
Help us see how many people play, which games they finish and share, and whether they come back – so we can improve the games. Providers: Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) and PostHog (EU cloud). No session recordings. Without your consent Google Analytics sets no cookies (Google Consent Mode).
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ph_*_posthog (cookie / local storage) | Pseudonymous ID to count visits and returning players | 1 year |
| _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes visitors and sessions to count visits and returning players | 2 years |
3. Advertising (optional, not active yet)
Ads are currently switched off. If we start showing ads (e.g. Google AdSense), advertising cookies would be used to show and measure ads, and – only if you allow it – to personalise them. We support Google Consent Mode v2, so Google tags respect your choice. Typical cookies set by Google include __gads, __gpi and IDE, stored for up to 13 months.
