Cookies and HTML local storage use

Short version

The game saves your progress to the browsers HTML local storage. What is local storage?

The game integrates with 3rd party services provided by Google, Facebook and Twitter, which in turn uses cookies to provide social media features, analyse traffic and personalise content & ads.

Information gathering is only done by these services. These parties may know you visited this website, if you use their services. They may and probably will share this data with their partners. We can’t control them but we don’t believe this knowledge poses any threat to you.

Those are the key points. If you want to know more, keep reading.

Statistics tracking

This game measures visitors by using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within the game, how you arrived at the game and some basic information about your computer. All of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited the game.

The information collected from analytics helps us understand what parts of the game are doing well, how people arrive at the game etc. Like most games, we use this information to make it better.

You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish.

Advertising

To cover operating costs and development, advertising is provided and displayed by Google. To do so we embed code that Google provide and we do not control ourselves. Google does their own tracking of users and data collection in order to provide targeted advertising and other services. Since Google has a very reputable and common advertising service, we don’t believe this is a concern for most users.

Facebook, Twitter and other social networks

These services provide social buttons and similar features which the game uses – such as the “Like”, “Share”, “Tweet” and “Follow” buttons.

Social networks could know that you’re viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn’t to say they do, but their policies may change). As this is just a simple game / time sink, we imagine this is not a concern for most users.
