Introduction

Welcome to our cookie policy, puzzle solver! This policy works hand-in-hand with our privacy policy, which you can find on our website. Here, we’ll explain what cookies are, what we use them for, and how you can manage them while enjoying your visit to our website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are like little helpers we place on your device when you visit our website. These small text files don’t contain personal data, but they do have a personal identifier, allowing us to connect your data with your device. Many websites use cookies, and you can learn more about them at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies are like magical puzzle pieces that make your journey on our website smoother and more fun. They help us with:

  • Granting you access to restricted content;
  • Tailoring our website’s functionality to you personally by remembering your preferences, location, or device type;
  • Boosting our website's performance;
  • Understanding who our audience is, so we can provide the most relevant content just for you;
  • Allowing third parties to sprinkle their services onto our website; and
  • Delivering interest-based advertising where appropriate, all while staying within the rules.

The Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies on our website to make your puzzling experience as smooth as possible. Some cookies are our own secret ingredients, while others come from third-party plug-ins, suppliers, or advertisers. These cookies may vanish when you leave the website, disappear after a set time, or stick around until you decide to delete them.

Here’s the cookie lineup:

  • Essential cookies – These are the unsung heroes that keep our website running smoothly. Without them, some parts of our site wouldn’t work.
