Cookie Policy
Effective Date: June 1, 2026
Word Puzzle World uses a small set of essential browser technologies and optional analytics controls. This page explains what they do and how you can manage them.
See also our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What this Cookie Policy covers
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.
2. Essential technologies
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 the site's optional analytics controls.
3. Analytics technologies
Word Puzzle World may use Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate usage. Plausible is designed to be privacy-friendly and cookie-less.
If optional analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, or Ahrefs Web Analytics are enabled, they are loaded only after you choose to accept analytics cookies or similar technologies in the cookie banner.
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.
4. Local storage preference
We store your optional analytics preference in your browser using localStorage under the key wordpuzzleworld_analytics_consent.
You can change this choice by using Cookie Settings in the site footer, or by clearing your browser's site data for wordpuzzleworld.com.
5. Third-party cookies and similar technologies
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. Optional analytics providers may use cookies or similar technologies only when enabled and applicable.
Third-party services process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and settings.
6. How to control cookies
You can use Cookie Settings in the footer to change optional analytics preferences. You can also 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.
