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.

Plausible Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly and cookie-less and may load to measure aggregate usage and site health. When configured, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Web Analytics load only after you choose Accept in the analytics cookie banner.

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

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 stores your analytics choice in localStorage under the key wordpuzzleworld_analytics_consent.

This choice controls Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Web Analytics. It does not control essential technologies, cookie-less Plausible Analytics, or Google AdSense advertising choices.

You can use Cookie Settings in the footer to reopen the analytics banner, or 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.

Google AdSense, Google, its advertising partners, and other third parties may place or read cookies, use web beacons, or collect IP addresses and device or browser identifiers when ads are served. These technologies may be used to deliver, personalize, limit, secure, and measure ads, detect fraud, and produce reporting.

Depending on your location, consent choices, and Google settings, Google may serve personalized ads, non-personalized ads, or limited ads.

Before serving Google ads where consent is required in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, advertising choices will be handled by Google's certified consent management platform. This Google message will be separate from Word Puzzle World's analytics cookie banner.

Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services in its partner sites and apps notice.

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.

Use Cookie Settings in the footer to change the optional analytics choice. If Google's advertising consent message is enabled and applies to you, use its privacy options to manage or withdraw advertising consent.

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