Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Word Puzzle World uses cookies, localStorage, and similar browser technologies to operate the site, remember privacy choices, measure aggregate usage, and support optional account features.

For more information about the information we process, please read our Privacy Policy.

Essential technologies are used to deliver the website, keep pages secure, route requests, prevent abuse, remember basic preferences, and operate features that you request.

If account or Google Sign-In features are enabled, essential cookies or similar technologies may be used to keep you signed in, verify OAuth state or nonce values, protect sessions, prevent CSRF attacks, support logout, and enforce OCR image scan usage limits.

Essential technologies are required for the service to work and cannot be disabled through site controls.

During a temporary early-launch measurement period, Plausible Analytics, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Web Analytics may load automatically when configured to measure aggregate usage, diagnose site health, understand search visibility, and improve the website. Plausible is designed to be privacy-friendly and cookie-less.

Microsoft Clarity page content is globally masked in code with an inherited root-page mask before Clarity records it.

The analytics consent banner and footer Cookie Settings control are temporarily hidden during this period.

Analytics events are limited to non-content usage signals. They must not include uploaded images, base64 image data, raw OCR text, puzzle grids, word lists, puzzle titles, emails, student names, school names, Google account IDs, or private classroom content.

The site may store an optional legacy analytics preference in your browser using localStorage under the key wordpuzzleworld_analytics_consent.

The cookie banner and footer Cookie Settings control are temporarily hidden. This stored preference does not currently control Plausible, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, or Ahrefs Web Analytics during the temporary early-launch measurement period.

You can clear browser-side values by clearing your browser's site data for wordpuzzleworld.com.

Cloudflare may process technical request data to deliver and secure the website. Google Sign-In or Google Identity Services may use cookies or similar technologies if account features are enabled. Analytics providers may use cookies or similar technologies when enabled and applicable.

Third-party services process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and settings.

You can control or delete cookies and localStorage through your browser settings.

Blocking essential cookies or clearing localStorage may affect sign-in, usage limits, saved preferences, and parts of the site that rely on browser storage.
