Privacy Policy & Local Storage Disclosure
CrosswordsCheat.online is engineered on a privacy-by-design baseline. Our word finding, anagram unscrambling, and board puzzle tools operate locally in your web browser. We do not deploy tracking cookies, harvest personal data, or store your letter racks.
1. Analytics & GDPR Consent Mode v2
CrosswordsCheat.online uses Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-6THC6JFDD8) strictly to monitor aggregate platform usage, identify solver latency bottlenecks, and improve puzzle lookup accuracy. To safeguard your privacy under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive:
- Google Consent Mode v2: Analytics cookies and telemetry storage are denied by default upon arrival. No analytics tracking takes place until you explicitly click "Accept Analytics".
- IP Anonymization: Full IP addresses are never logged or stored by Google Analytics.
- Zero Commercial Profiling: Advertising storage, ad personalization, and cross-site remarketing pixels are permanently disabled.
2. Local Storage & Client-Side Cache
To deliver instantaneous word solutions, our application may store non-personal session configurations (such as your chosen dictionary standard, e.g., NWL20 or CSW21) in your browser's local storage (localStorage / sessionStorage). This data:
- Remains isolated within your personal browser storage sandbox
- Is never transmitted across internet networks to our servers
- Can be cleared at any time via your browser settings or the cookie preferences control above
3. Client-Side Anagram Processing
Every letter rack you type (including letters, wildcards, and length constraints) is computed directly inside your device's browser memory using our client-side JavaScript engine. Unlike competitors who transmit your keystrokes to remote servers, your gameplay queries are never logged, analyzed, or shared.
4. Infrastructure & Edge CDN Delivery
CrosswordsCheat.online is hosted statically on Cloudflare's global edge network. Cloudflare processes standard technical server connection logs (such as IP addresses and browser user-agent strings) strictly for security mitigation, DDoS defense, and edge routing compliance.
5. Your Statutory Rights Under GDPR & Global Frameworks
Under GDPR (Articles 15 through 22) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), you possess statutory rights regarding personal data:
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You may modify or revoke your analytics consent at any moment using our on-page cookie manager.
- Right of Access & Deletion: Because we collect zero personally identifiable information (PII) or accounts, your identity remains completely anonymous.
- Right to Object: You can browse the entire platform with analytics disabled ("Essential Only") without any loss of solver functionality.
6. Policy Updates & Contact
Any future modifications to this policy will be documented on this page. For privacy inquiries regarding our lexicographical utilities, contact our administrative team at [email protected].
