Cookies and local storage

What Nice Puzzles stores on your device

Nice Puzzles uses cookies for secure login and local browser storage to remember your language, game settings, and puzzle data you want to keep on this device.

Last updated: 30 August 2026

Current situation: storage needed for the website and requested features

According to the current technical inventory, Nice Puzzles does not load advertising cookies, tracking pixels, marketing profiles, or optional analytics. The storage described below is necessary for the website or for a feature you request yourself, such as logging in, remembering your language, or continuing to puzzle locally. No prior consent is required for this current setup, and we therefore do not display a consent banner. If we introduce optional tracking or analytics later, we will only load them after valid consent where consent is required.

Necessary cookies

A cookie is information that your browser stores for a website. Nice Puzzles cookies are created when you use an account or start signing in with Google. They keep your session working and secure the login process. Without these cookies, that chosen account feature will not work properly.

Google may use cookies on its own website after you have actively chosen to sign in with Google. Nice Puzzles does not load any Google script on regular puzzle pages before that choice. Google's own privacy and cookie terms apply to Google's own services.

Functional local browser storage

Local browser storage remains in the browser on the device on which you play. Nice Puzzles uses this to remember your language, preferences, daily puzzle metadata, open puzzles, completed puzzles, favourites and room settings. When you use account synchronisation, selected puzzle data can also be linked to your account.

No active visitor analytics or ad tracking

According to the technical inventory of the current release, Nice Puzzles does not use Vercel Web Analytics, Speed Insights, advertising pixels or comparable visitor scripts. The hosting does process technical request and security logs to deliver and protect the site; those logs are not stored on your device. This assessment must be repeated before any release adds optional analytics technology or tracking.

Clearing data on this device

You can clear local Nice Puzzles data via your account screen or your browser settings. Afterward, local progress, daily puzzle metadata and preferences on that device are removed, among other things. Clearing browser data does not automatically delete data already linked to an account. Logging out ends your session, but does not automatically clear all local puzzle data.

If the technology changes

Before Nice Puzzles introduces optional analytics, advertisements or other tracking technologies, we assess the purpose, data, vendor, retention period and legal basis. If consent is required, optional categories are disabled by default, options to accept and refuse are presented equally clearly, and you can withdraw your choice just as easily. We will then update this page.
