Privacy Policy

1. Game Data & Local Storage

6orSticks uses browser local storage for settings and identifiers, including your pseudonymous player ID, active draft references, Hard Mode choice, and Daily Challenge or Quiz state. The player ID does not directly identify you, but it links records belonging to the same player.

Draft sessions, completed runs, lifetime statistics, achievements, and leaderboard entries may be stored on our server against that player ID. Public leaderboards can show game results and a shortened player identifier. You do not need to provide a name, email address, or phone number to play.

2. Advertising & Cookies

To keep 6orSticks free, we display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing history. Google Privacy & messaging must be enabled by the publisher to handle consent in regulated regions. When configured, a consent dialog will appear, and you can revoke or manage this consent at any time. You can also manage personalized advertising via Google's Ad Center.

3. Analytics

When analytics is enabled, broad usage events and technical information supplied by the browser or analytics service may be recorded. We use this to understand how the game is used and to resolve problems.

For new and returning player counts and D1, D7, D14, and D30 retention, we store a separate anonymous browser ID and first tracked UTC date in local storage. When analytics is enabled, this ID accompanies daily app opens and completed drafts, Daily Challenges, and Daily Quizzes. It does not identify someone across devices; clearing local storage resets it.

Clearing browser storage removes local identifiers and settings but does not automatically delete server records. Individual completed runs can be deleted from the Honours Board.
