🔒 Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 June 2026
Hi there! Welcome to Puzzling Fun (puzzling-fun.com). We know privacy stuff can sound boring, but it's really important — especially for a site that kids use. So here's the deal: we take your privacy seriously, and we've written this page to explain exactly what happens when you visit our site.
👋 Who We Are
Puzzling Fun is a free website that offers puzzle games for kids and families. It is published by Hamilton Digital Media Limited, registered in England and Wales with company number 15608219. Registered office: 13a Mill Lane, Wimborne, Dorset, United Kingdom, BH21 1LN.
If you ever need to contact us about privacy, you can email us at [email protected].
📦 What Information We Collect
We want to be completely upfront: we collect as little as possible.
- No accounts or sign-ups. You don't need to create an account to play any of our games. We don't ask for your name, email address, age, or any other personal details.
- No information requested from kids. We do not knowingly ask children under 13 (or under 16 in certain regions) to provide personal information. Our games are designed to be played without sharing a name, email address, or other contact details.
- Game data stays on your device. Any game progress (like puzzle settings or preferences) is stored locally in your web browser using standard browser storage. This data never leaves your device and is never sent to us.
- Limited technical and usage data. Google Analytics and Google AdSense may process information such as the page viewed, referring page, browser and device details, approximate location based on an IP address, consent choices, and interactions with ads. Google handles this information under its own privacy terms.
🍪 Cookies & Similar Technologies
Our games themselves do not set tracking cookies. However, here's what you should know:
- Essential browser storage: We may use your browser's local storage to remember things like your last-chosen grid size or difficulty level. This is stored on your device only and is not shared with anyone.
- Google Analytics: Google may use first-party cookies or similar technologies to measure visits and understand how the site is used when the relevant consent has been granted.
- Google AdSense: Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage, device identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, limit, and measure ads. Whether ads are personalised or non-personalised depends on factors including your location, consent choices, and age-related protections.
- Your choices: For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default until Google's AdSense consent management platform records a choice. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and manage personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings.
📊 Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit the site, which pages and games are popular, and how the site performs. Its reports include information such as pages viewed, general device and browser details, referring pages, and approximate geographic region. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Analytics storage is denied by default until consent is granted. When Analytics storage is denied, the Google tag does not read or write Analytics cookies, although it may send limited cookieless measurement signals. We use these reports to improve the site, not to ask players to identify themselves.
📢 Advertising
Google AdSense is installed on the site so that we can display advertising. Ads may not appear on every page or every visit. Google and its advertising partners may process technical information to select, deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads.
- We do not knowingly use personalised advertising for users known to be children.
- Only work with advertising partners that comply with children's privacy laws.
- Use Google's consent management platform in regions where consent is required.
Depending on your location and choices, Google may show personalised, non-personalised, or limited ads. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
🔗 Links to Other Websites
Our site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you (and your parents or guardians) to read the privacy policies of any website you visit.
👨👩👧👦 Information for Parents & Guardians
Puzzling Fun is designed to be enjoyed by children. Here's what parents should know:
- We do not ask your child to provide a name, age, email address, or other contact details to play.
- We do not require registration, sign-ups, or email addresses to play.
- Google services may process limited technical and usage information as described in the Analytics, Advertising, and Cookies sections above.
- We comply with applicable children's privacy laws, including the UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code), the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- If you believe we have inadvertently collected any personal data from a child, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
🔐 Data Security
We minimise the information we collect directly. Game preferences stored by the site stay on your device, and we use HTTPS encryption across the site. Information processed by Google is protected according to Google's security practices and privacy terms.
🌍 Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your data under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, or withdraw consent where applicable. You can use Google's consent message and Ads Settings for relevant choices, or contact us if you have a concern and we'll do our best to help.
📝 Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally.
