Strictly necessary: a login cookie, a short sign-in cookie, Google reCAPTCHA’s cookie (against bots) and your browser’s own storage for settings and progress. The game cannot work safely without them, so they need no consent.
Optional: Google Analytics, only if you press “Accept all”. You can change your choice any time: Cookie settings.
No advertising cookies, ever.

Google Analytics sees the pages you open, anonymous game events (a run started or ended, a room opened, the tutorial finished), your country and your kind of device; never your player name. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses. Google’s privacy policy.

Your browser’s storage (not cookies)

The game also saves things in your browser’s own storage. It never leaves your device, except where the Privacy policy says so.
