Privacy Policy
Short version: your game progress is stored only in your own browser. We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate visitor stats (page views, country, device type) — this sets a small cookie but does not identify you personally. The longer version follows.
Information We Collect
We do not collect personally identifying information of any kind. The site does not have user accounts, login forms, email signups, or contact forms.
When you visit the site, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) records anonymous, aggregated request data — IP address, user agent, referrer, and request path — for the purpose of serving the page and detecting abuse. This is standard web server logging and is not tied to a user identity. We do not have access to logs that identify you personally.
Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies. We do not set any first-party tracking cookies of our own. Two third parties set cookies on this site:
- Google Analytics 4 sets
_gaand_ga_*cookies (typically 2-year expiry) to count unique visitors and sessions. These cookies do not contain your name, email, or any directly identifying data; Google describes their contents in its cookie reference. - Cloudflare may set a minimal security cookie
(
__cf_bmor similar) to distinguish humans from bots; it does not identify you and is not used for advertising.
Local storage. The game stores three things in your browser's local storage so your progress persists between visits on the same browser:
- infwordle.stats — games played, games won, current streak, max streak, and the distribution of guesses per win.
- infwordle.prefs — your theme choice (light / dark / system).
- infwordle.history — the last 20 answer words you have seen, used so the random picker can avoid repeats.
None of this data leaves your browser. Clearing your browser data will reset it. You will never be asked to opt in or accept tracking, because there is none to accept.
Third Parties
The site contacts three third-party services:
- Google Fonts serves the Fraunces display font on first visit. Google may log the font request as part of its standard CDN operation; their privacy notice covers that usage.
- Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID
G-12TKH3F7LM) records aggregate visitor data: anonymised IP, page path, country, device category, referrer, and basic engagement signals (time on page, scroll depth). We use these to understand which pages are read and to spot broken flows. We never view individual-user data and we never sell, share, or upload anything to ad platforms. - Cloudflare hosts the site and routes every request through its global CDN. Standard server logs (IP, user-agent, request path) are kept by Cloudflare for abuse detection; we do not access them under normal operation.
We do not use Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, or any other behavioural-tracking, session-replay, or remarketing service. If we add ad monetisation in the future, this policy will be updated and a standard ad-consent banner will appear for users in jurisdictions that require one.
To opt out of Google Analytics across all sites, install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or enable "Do Not Track" / equivalent in your browser settings.
Children's Privacy
The game is suitable for general audiences, including children, and does not collect data of any kind. We do not knowingly process any personal information of children under 13 because we do not process any personal information of anyone.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes — for example, adding ad monetisation or analytics — we will update the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page and call out the change in a visible notice on the homepage for at least 30 days. We will not start collecting new categories of data without notice.
