Privacy & cookies
ColonyGuessr has no accounts, no sign-in and no newsletter. There is nothing to hand over, so this is short.
What stays on your device
Your browser's local storage holds your game: guesses, the colonizers you have found, your streak and your stats. None of it reaches our server. Clear your site data and it is gone, with no backup and no way for us to bring it back.
What the server records
The server checks every guess, and counts plays and wins per puzzle so the recap can tell you what share of players found all the answers. Those counts are totals for a puzzle, not a record of you. We rate-limit requests by IP address, and hold that address in memory only for as long as the limit runs.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Plausible Analytics to see how many people play and which pages they reach. Plausible sets no cookies and collects no personal data. Google Analytics may set cookies and process what it collects on Google's own infrastructure, under Google's privacy policy.
Advertising
The site is free and runs on ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve them. Those advertising cookies, the DoubleClick cookie among them, let Google and its partners serve you ads based on your visits here and to other sites. Other vendors may set cookies of their own to measure or personalise what you see.
- Turn off personalised ads from Google at My Ad Center.
- Opt out of many other vendors at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
- In the EEA and UK we ask for your consent before any of this happens, and you can change your answer whenever you like:
Children
ColonyGuessr is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.
