Privacy

Short version: your game progress never leaves your device, our analytics are privacy-friendly, and any ads are kept clearly separate from play.

What stays on your device

Pattern Atlas, Lantern Grove, Signal Stack, Pebble Choir, and Tideweave save your progress and best scores in your browser's local storage. That data stays on your device. We cannot see it, and it is never sent to our servers.

Analytics

This site uses Vercel Web Analytics, which collects aggregated, privacy-friendly usage statistics—page views, referrers, and rough geography—without personal identifiers or cross-site tracking cookies.

Advertising

To keep the site free, some pages—mainly the Field notes articles—may show advertisements served by Google AdSense. These ads may use cookies to personalize what you see. During gameplay we show no ads, in keeping with this site's "quiet games" promise.

You can manage ad personalization and opt out at Google's Ads Settings and through YourAdChoices.
