1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At WordKing.eu ("we", "our", "us"), we believe educational word games and puzzle recreation should be clean, safe, and transparent. We take user privacy seriously and comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. What Information We Collect
You can enjoy all games on WordKing.eu completely anonymously without creating an account. Depending on how you interact with our platform:
- Game Progress & Preferences (Local Storage): When you play games like Word Hunt, Crosswords, or Sudoku, your progress, streaks, and settings (such as dark mode) are stored locally on your device via HTML5
localStorage. This data never leaves your browser. - Voluntary User Accounts: If you choose to log in to save high scores, XP, or avatar customizations across devices, your display name and email address are authenticated securely via Google Firebase.
- Technical Logging & Performance: Standard server access logs (such as request timestamps and general device browser types) are used strictly for network security and site reliability.
3. Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)
WordKing.eu uses technical cookies and browser storage to maintain your gaming sessions, streaks, language preference, and interface themes (light/dark mode).
To keep our educational games, puzzles, and tools completely free for all players, we may display advertisements powered by third-party networks, including Google AdSense. Under Google's publisher policies, we provide the following disclosures:
