Cookies and local storage

This page lists what is stored on your device, why, and how to refuse it. "Cookies" is used loosely here to include local storage, which is what this site mostly uses instead.

Strictly necessary

These are needed for the game to work and cannot be switched off. No consent is required for them because without them there is no game.

Advertising

Adverts are served by Google AdSense to visitors who are not members. Advertising and measurement cookies are only set if you agree to them. If you decline, you still see adverts, but they are chosen from the content of the page rather than from anything about you.

Visitors in the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland are asked through a Google-certified consent tool. You can change your answer whenever you like using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

Members see no adverts and no advertising cookies at all.

Payments

If you buy a membership, our payment provider sets cookies necessary to process the transaction and prevent fraud. This only happens if you start a purchase.

What is not here

There are no third-party analytics or tracking pixels on this site. No social network buttons that phone home — the sharing links are plain links that do nothing until you click them.

Turning things off

Use the Cookie settings link in the footer to revisit advertising consent. Clearing site data in your browser removes everything listed above, including your nickname and settings. Becoming a member removes advertising cookies entirely.
