Short version: we don't need to know who you are to let you play Minesweeper, so we don't ask. We only count visits, with Google Analytics.
Your settings, statistics and best times are saved in your own browser, using what's called local storage. They never leave your device and we can't see them.
Want them gone? Use Reset statistics in the game, or clear the site data in your browser settings.
You don't need an account to play, and this site doesn't show ads or set advertising cookies.
We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit, which pages they read and roughly where they come from, like the country and city. To recognize returning visitors it sets cookies whose names start with _ga, and Google receives technical details such as your IP address, browser and device. We only see the totals, never who you are. Google handles this data under its own privacy policy.
Don't want to be counted? Block cookies for this site in your browser, or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on. The game works the same either way.
Like almost every website, our web server keeps standard logs: your IP address, the page you asked for, the time and the type of browser. We use these only to keep the site secure and running well, and they are deleted after a limited time.
When you send an email to our helpdesk, we receive your email address and your message. We only use them to answer you, and we don't share them with anyone.
Some pages link to other websites, like our Minesweeper sites in other languages or the sources we mention. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
