Privacy policy

This policy explains what information is collected when you visit WeaverGame.org (the "site", "we", "us") and play the Weaver game, who collects it and what choices you have. In short:

• You do not need an account, and we never ask for your name, email address or any other personal details to play.
• Your game progress, statistics and settings are stored in your own browser and are not sent to us.
• Google Analytics loads on every page to measure how the site is used.
• Ads are served by Ezoic and its advertising partners, including Google. Ad partners may use cookies and similar technologies, subject to the choices you make in the consent dialog.
• If you email us, we use your message only to reply.

The game saves its data in your browser's local storage on the device you play on. This includes your current and finished puzzles, your statistics and streaks for each language, word length and mode, your settings (such as dark theme, high-contrast colors and language), whether you have seen the tutorial and whether you dismissed the language suggestion. If you played before October 2026, the game also reads the data saved by the previous version once, to carry over your statistics.

This data stays on your device. It is not transmitted to our servers, it is not linked to your identity, and we cannot see or restore it. You can delete it at any time by clearing the site data for weavergame.org in your browser settings; doing so resets your statistics and streaks.

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-4KH9ELPNJ8), a service provided by Google, to understand how many people visit the site, which pages they use and how the game is played. The Google Analytics script loads on every page of the site, independently of the choices you make in the ad consent dialog.

Google Analytics sets first-party cookies and collects information such as the pages you visit, the time of your visit, the referring page, your browser and device type, screen size, language and an approximate location derived from your IP address. We also send a few game events, such as starting or winning a game, using a hint, sharing a result, switching modes and finishing the tutorial, together with the language, word length and mode. These events never include the words you type.

We use these reports in aggregate to improve the game and the site. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors. You can learn how Google uses this data in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in the Google Privacy Policy. To stop Google Analytics from collecting data in your browser on all websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or block analytics cookies in your browser settings.

The site is funded by ads. Ads are delivered by Ezoic Inc. ("Ezoic") and its advertising partners, which include Google. Ads appear around the game and in the page content, never inside the game board. When you ask for a hint, a short rewarded ad may play first, and the hint is given once it ends.

Google advertising cookies

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google in My Ad Center, and you can opt out of some other vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu. More information is available in How Google uses cookies in advertising.

Ezoic

This site uses the services of Ezoic, including to manage third-party interest-based advertising. Ezoic may use a variety of technologies on this site, including tools to serve content, display advertisements and enable advertising to visitors, which may use first-party and third-party cookies. Ezoic and its partners may place cookies, tags, beacons, pixels and similar technologies to monitor interactions with advertisements and optimize ad targeting. Disabling cookies may limit access to some content and features, and rejecting cookies does not remove advertisements; it results in non-personalized ads.

When personalized ads are served, the following information may be collected, used and stored in a cookie:

• IP address
• operating system type and version
• device type
• language preferences
• web browser type
• email address, in a hashed or encrypted form

Ezoic and its partners may combine this data with information collected independently to deliver targeted ads across platforms and websites. Ezoic's partners may also gather additional data, such as unique IDs, advertising IDs, geolocation data, usage data, device information, traffic data, referral sources and interactions between users and websites or advertisements, to create audience segments for targeted advertising across different devices, browsers and apps. The full list of Ezoic's partners and their privacy policies for this site is available at g.ezoic.net/privacy/weavergame.org, and Ezoic's own policy is at ezoic.com/privacy-policy.

Advertising consent is managed by Gatekeeper, the consent management platform provided by Ezoic. Depending on where you are, a consent dialog appears on your first visit and lets you accept or refuse advertising cookies and personalized ads, or choose individual purposes and vendors. You can change your choice at any time with the Privacy settings link at the bottom of every page. As explained above, this dialog controls advertising; it does not control Google Analytics, which loads on every page.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block or clear local storage for this site, the game cannot remember your progress and statistics.

If you write to us at hello@weavergame.org, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to answer you and to fix the problem you reported, we do not add you to any mailing list, and we delete the correspondence on request.

Like almost every website, our web server records basic technical information about each request, such as the IP address, the date and time, the page requested and the browser's user agent. These logs are used to keep the site secure and working, are kept for a limited time and are not used for advertising.

We do not sell personal information ourselves, and we do not pass on anything beyond what the services described above collect directly from your browser. Under some US state privacy laws, the use of advertising cookies by our ad partners may count as "selling" or "sharing" personal information; you can limit it with the Privacy settings link at the bottom of every page, which offers the choices available in your region, and with the opt-out tools linked above. Google, Ezoic and their partners may process data in the United States and other countries. When you use a share button, the site opens the chosen service (for example Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Telegram or Reddit) with a prepared message; what happens next is governed by that service's own privacy policy. The same applies to links to our other games, the Google Play store and other external sites.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or of targeted advertising, and to complain to a data protection authority. Because we do not keep accounts or profiles, most of the data related to your visit is held by your browser or by the third-party services named above. You can exercise your choices through the Privacy settings link, the opt-out tools linked on this page and your browser settings, and you can contact us at hello@weavergame.org with any request. We will answer within the time required by the law that applies to you.

Weaver is a general-audience word game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example by email, contact us and we will delete it.

The site is served only over an encrypted HTTPS connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but because we do not run accounts or store game data on our servers, there is very little personal information for us to protect in the first place.

We may update this policy when the site or the services we use change. The date of the latest version is shown at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will make it clear on the site.
