Cookie Policy

Last updated · applies to Arrow Puzzle 2.0.0 and the website

In plain language

No tracking cookies, no analytics. We use a small amount of local storage, and every key is listed below.

This box is a summary for convenience. The sections below are the operative text.

Cookies versus local storage

These two get lumped together, but they behave differently and it matters here.

  • Cookies are sent to the server with every request you make. That is what makes them useful for tracking, and why they attract most of the regulation.
  • Local storage stays in your browser. It is never attached to a request automatically, and the server cannot read it.

Arrow Puzzle keeps almost everything in local storage. There is exactly one cookie, it is not used for tracking, and it is only set if you take a specific action.

Cookies we set

Name When it is set Purpose Lifetime
PHPSESSID Only when you submit a drop code for checking. Counts how many codes have been tried recently so the code space cannot be brute forced. It holds a random session identifier and a list of attempt timestamps. Nothing else. Until you close your browser.

That is the complete list. If you never enter a drop code, this site sets no cookies at all.

The browser extension sets no cookies under any circumstances, because it makes no requests.

Local storage we use

Every key we write, and what is in it:

Key Purpose Necessary?
arrowpuzzle_profile Display name, score and the highest level you have unlocked. Yes, this is your save file.
arrowpuzzle_sound Remembers whether you muted the music. Preference.
arrowpuzzle_used_tokens Drop codes already redeemed, so the same code cannot be reused. Yes, for the drop feature.
arrowpuzzle_storage_notice Records that you dismissed the notice, so it stops appearing. Preference.
amazego_profile A save file from before the game was renamed. It is read once, copied to arrowpuzzle_profile and then deleted. Legacy, removed automatically.

What we do not use

For completeness, none of the following appear on this site or in the extension:

  • Analytics of any kind, including self-hosted analytics.
  • Advertising or retargeting pixels.
  • Social media buttons or embeds.
  • Third-party fonts or CDN-hosted libraries.
  • Session recording, heatmaps or A/B testing tools.
  • Device fingerprinting.

How to clear it

Clearing site data removes your saved progress along with everything else. We cannot recover it, because we never receive a copy.

Chrome and Edge

Open the padlock or tune icon at the left of the address bar, choose the site settings or cookies entry, and delete the data for this site. Alternatively use Settings, then Privacy and security, then Clear browsing data.

Firefox and Safari

Both offer a per-site data option in their privacy preferences. Look for "Manage Data" in Firefox or "Manage Website Data" in Safari.

The extension

Removing the extension removes its storage with it.
