This page explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) used on hearkle.com. You control non-essential categories via the consent banner and the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
| Category | Purpose | Set when |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Running the games (saving your game progress, streaks and your consent choice in local storage). The site cannot work without these. | Always |
| Analytics | Aggregate, privacy-friendly usage statistics so we can understand traffic and improve the games. Includes anonymous, cookieless usage events sent to our own server — no personal data, identifiers, or IP address. Once a day we also record the domain name of the website that linked you here (for example a search engine), never the full address. | Only after consent |
| Advertising | A single advertising slot served by Google AdSense, which may set cookies to show and measure ads. | Only after consent |
The feedback box below each game sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device.
Click Cookie settings (also in the footer) to accept, reject or customize non-essential categories at any time. You can also clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings.
We implement Google Consent Mode v2: Google's tags default to a denied state and only activate the categories you allow.
