What is stored in your browser

The game saves your progress, statistics, streak, theme, colour setting and cookie choice in your browser's local storage under the key fg.v1. This data stays on your device. It is not sent to us and is not used to identify you. You can delete it at any time by clearing site data in your browser.

Server logs

When you open the site, the hosting provider receives technical data that your browser sends: IP address, date and time, requested address, browser and device type. This is needed to deliver the site securely and is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a working and secure website). Logs are kept for a short period set by the hosting provider.

Fonts

Fonts are served from this site. No request is made to Google Fonts or any other font service.

Advertising

The site may show ads from Google AdSense in the future. Ads would be loaded only after you accept in a cookie banner. Until then, no ad code is loaded and no advertising cookies are set.

Analytics, no accounts

There is no account system. The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure page speed. It does not use cookies, does not track you across sites and does not build user profiles. Data is processed by Cloudflare, Inc.

The site also counts anonymous usage events, for example that a puzzle was started or solved, how many tries it took, that a result was shared, and which campaign link or referring site a visit came from. An event contains the language, game mode, page path, number of tries, time taken, the country derived from your IP address and a device class (phone, tablet or computer). Your IP address, browser identification string and any visitor identifier are not stored, no cookies are set and nothing is saved on your device for this. Events are not linked to each other or to a person. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). No events are sent if your browser signals Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Events are processed on Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete and restrict processing of your personal data, the right to data portability and the right to object, as set out in the GDPR. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example in the country where you live.
