Third-Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies, such as the DoubleClick DART cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Cookies and Local Storage

In addition to advertising cookies, our site utilizes your browser's local storage (localStorage) to save your puzzle progress and to generate an anonymous player token. This ensures you can leave the page and return without losing your work. This data is stored locally on your device and is not shared with us or any third parties.
