No cookies today
Word Finder Wordle does not set any cookies, first-party or third-party. There are no analytics, advertising or social media scripts on the site, which is why you do not see a cookie banner.
Local storage we use
To remember your settings between visits, the site saves a few values in your browser’s local storage. Unlike cookies, these values are never sent to our servers with your requests. They stay on your device.
| Key | Purpose | What it stores |
|---|---|---|
wfw-theme | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. | "light" or "dark" |
wfw-colorblind | Remembers whether the color-blind tile palette is on. | "1" or "0" |
wfw-board, wfw-board-3 … wfw-board-10 | Keeps your finder board and pattern for each word length so they are still there when you return. | The words, tile colors and pattern letters you entered |
If advertising is enabled in the future
If and when we enable ads, we expect to use Google AdSense. Google and other third-party vendors would then use cookies to show ads, including ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Before that happens we will:
- update this policy and our privacy policy;
- ask visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland for consent through a certified consent management platform before setting advertising cookies;
- give you a way to change your choice at any time.
How to control cookies and storage
- Clear site data: your browser settings let you delete cookies and local storage for any site, including this one. Clearing it resets your theme, color palette and board.
- Block cookies: most browsers can block all or third-party cookies. The finder keeps working, but your settings may not be remembered.
- Personalized ads: you can manage Google ad personalization in Google Ads Settings and opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info or, in Europe, Your Online Choices.
