Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used so sites can work properly, remember preferences, and understand how people use the pages. Related browser storage (such as localStorage) can serve a similar purpose without sending data on every request.

This policy explains what we use on Wordscapes Answers, why, and how you can control it. It applies to our website only — not to the Wordscapes game app published by PeopleFun.

How we use cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the site working reliably as you browse.
• Remember site preferences or resume context (for example, where you left off on a previous visit).
• Measure traffic and improve content when analytics tools are enabled.
• Support advertising partners when ads are enabled on the site.

Site preferences and local storage

Wordscapes Answers may store a small amount of data in your browser’s localStorage so we can show a “Continue where you left off” link on the homepage. That record typically includes the path and label of a page you visited and a timestamp. It stays on your device; we do not use it to identify you across other websites.

You can clear this data anytime with the clear control next to the continue link (when shown), or by clearing site data in your browser settings.

Third-party cookies

When analytics or advertising features are enabled, third parties may set cookies on your device through our pages. Those parties process data under their own policies.

• Google Analytics — may be used to understand how visitors use the site (for example, pages viewed and approximate location). It may set cookies such as _ga and related identifiers when enabled.
• Google AdSense / DoubleClick — may be used to show ads and measure ad performance when advertising is enabled. Related cookies can help deliver and limit ads and may involve interest-based advertising subject to your browser and account settings.

Analytics and ads are planned for this site and are not necessarily active on every visit. When they are turned on, the providers above (or similar partners) may place cookies as described.

Managing and disabling cookies

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, and to clear local storage, through their settings or privacy controls. Blocking all cookies may affect how some sites work. When advertising is enabled, you can also review Google Ads Settings and YourAdChoices. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.

For more detail on cookies in general, see resources such as AllAboutCookies.org.

For how we handle information more broadly — including contact messages and practices that may apply if advertising or analytics are enabled — see our Privacy Policy.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time so it stays accurate as the site changes. The current version will always be available at /cookie-policy/ on wordscapesanswer.com.
