Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information BlockPuzzle ("we", "us") collects when you visit www.blockpuzzle.cc, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Server log data. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of the request. We use this data to keep the site running, diagnose problems and protect against abuse.
Data stored on your device. The games on this site save your best score using your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device, is not sent to our servers, and can be removed at any time by clearing your site data.
Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in the message. We use it only to reply to you.
We do not require accounts or registration, and we do not ask you for your name, address or payment details.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure how the site is used, and show advertising.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Third-party advertisers and ad networks may collect information directly from your browser. We do not control these technologies, and this policy does not cover their practices.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand in aggregate how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most popular). These tools may set cookies and collect information such as your approximate location and device details.
Consent for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies, including those used for personalized advertising, through a consent management platform. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the privacy settings link provided on the site.

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent.

Children's privacy
