The short version
- No accounts, no sign-up.
- We use Google Analytics to count visits. It sets cookies.
- We don't run ads.
- Your game progress stays in your own browser.
Data stored on your device
To remember your guesses, stats and streaks, the game saves them in your browser's local storage. This data is never sent to us. You can delete it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. Doing so resets your stats.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit and which pages they use. It sets first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_*) that last up to two years and collects data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type. Google processes this data on our behalf; we don't use it to identify you or for advertising. You can block it with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, your browser's cookie settings or a content blocker. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
Third-party services
When you load the Site, your browser also requests files from these providers. Like any web server, they receive your IP address, browser type and the page that made the request:
- Google Fonts and Google Hosted Libraries (font and script files). Google Privacy Policy
- cdnjs by Cloudflare (animation styles). Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- costcofdb.com and images.costco-static.com (product images).
Hosting
Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and to keep the Site running.
If you email us at contact@costcodle.io, we use your address and message only to reply. We don't add you to any mailing list or share your email.
Sharing your results
The Share button copies your result to your clipboard or opens your device's share menu. Nothing is posted anywhere unless you choose to paste or send it.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access or delete your personal data. Analytics data is held by Google and isn't linked to your name or email. For email you send us, contact contact@costcodle.io and we'll delete it on request.
Changes
If we ever add advertising or anything else that changes how data is handled, we'll update this page first and ask for consent where the law requires it.
