No advertising profiles and no data sales — only what the site needs plus optional analytics.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can remember something between page views — that you dismissed a notice, or that your visit originally came from a particular referral link. Local storage works similarly but is not sent back to the server with every request.
2. Cookies from embedded content
There is none: no video players, no maps, no social buttons. Those are the usual route by which third-party cookies arrive on a page like this one.
3. Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Page delivery, security and remembering your cookie choices. The site cannot work correctly without them. | Session – 12 months |
| Preferences | Remembering interface choices, such as the sticky offer bar you closed or an expanded FAQ entry. | Session – 12 months |
| Analytics | Counting visits in aggregate and measuring which sections are read. Reports are statistical, never individual profiles. | Up to 26 months |
| Affiliate attribution | Recording that a click on an outgoing partner link came from here, so a referral can be credited. See our Affiliate Disclosure. | 30 – 90 days |
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles and we do not sell cookie data.
We cover the game itself: what happens in a round, what the numbers mean, and what changes when you move up a difficulty. Everything on this page is written to support that, not to pad the site out with documents nobody reads.
4. How to control cookies
You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time. Blocking the strictly necessary category may break parts of the site; blocking analytics or affiliate cookies will not affect the content you can read.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
- Android / iOS browsers: browser settings → privacy → clear browsing data.
Private or incognito windows discard cookies when closed, which is a quick way to browse without persistent identifiers.
5. Do Not Track
Browsers send Do Not Track signals inconsistently and there is no agreed standard for honouring them, so we rely on your cookie choices and browser settings instead.
6. Shared devices
A stored choice belongs to the browser, not the person. On a shared computer the next user inherits it until site data is cleared; a private window avoids that entirely.
This document is reviewed on a schedule and updated whenever the practice changes.
