Cookies and storage
Last updated 12 October 2026
We do not use cookies. The game saves a few things in your browser's own storage so that it works. They are needed for the game you asked to play, so we do not need to ask first, but you can clear them at any time.
What the game saves on your device
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Today's game | So you can carry on where you left off | Until you clear it |
| Your daily stats (games played, streak, best score) | To show your stats | Until you clear it |
| Whether sound is on | To remember your choice | Until you clear it |
| Whether you closed the for-sale banner | So it stays closed for 30 days | 30 days, then deleted on your next visit |
| Whether you asked us not to count your visits | So we keep to your choice | Until you change it or clear your browser data |
None of this is sent to us or anyone else. There are no adverts and no cookies. We count visits anonymously, without storing anything on your device; see the privacy page.
