COOKIE POLICY
How CrossWordy uses cookies and browser storage
CrossWordy uses a small amount of browser storage to make the game work, remember your choices and support optional features such as analytics and advertising.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser when you visit a website.
Websites can also use similar browser technologies, such as local storage, to remember settings or maintain information between visits.
How CrossWordy uses browser storage
CrossWordy may use cookies or local browser storage where necessary to operate the game and remember your preferences.
This can include information such as:
- game and puzzle progress stored on your device
- language and spelling preferences
- difficulty selections
- accessibility settings
- other game preferences needed to provide the experience you have selected
Some of this information is stored only on the device and browser you are using.
Essential storage
Some browser storage is necessary for CrossWordy to work properly.
This may be used to remember game state, maintain settings or provide features you have requested.
Essential storage does not require advertising or analytics consent because it is needed to provide the service.
Anonymous gameplay tracking
CrossWordy can collect anonymous gameplay information to help us understand how puzzles and game features perform.
Gameplay tracking is disabled by default. You can choose to enable anonymous usage tracking in the game settings.
If enabled, this may be used to understand information such as puzzle completions, guesses, Reveal usage and other gameplay activity.
Allowing this tracking helps us improve puzzle quality and the overall CrossWordy experience.
Advertising cookies
CrossWordy may display third-party advertising between completed puzzles.
Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure or personalise advertising, depending on your consent choices and the services being used.
Where consent is required, non-essential advertising technologies should only be used in accordance with the choices you make through the site’s consent controls.
Third-party services
Some features of CrossWordy may rely on third-party services, for example website hosting, advertising or other technical services.
Those providers may set or access cookies where necessary to provide their services and where permitted by your consent choices.
Third-party services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.
Managing your choices
You can control cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings and, where available, through the consent options shown on the CrossWordy website.
Blocking essential browser storage may prevent parts of CrossWordy from working correctly or may cause settings and progress stored on your device to be lost.
Deleting browser data
You can remove cookies and local website data using your browser’s privacy or site-data settings.
Please be aware that deleting CrossWordy browser data may remove locally stored game progress and preferences if they have not been protected through a CrossWordy account.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as CrossWordy develops or if the technologies and services used by the site change.
The latest version will always be published on this page.
