Privacy Policy

Overview

GeoRankle.io is a free daily geography game. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Data We Collect

We use Simple Analytics - a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not use cookies, does not track you across websites, and does not collect personal information. It only counts page views and general traffic patterns (e.g. which country a visit comes from, which pages are viewed). No IP addresses or fingerprints are stored.

We also use Google Analytics 4 to understand which games are played and how people find the site. In the EEA and the UK it stays switched off until you accept it in the consent window: before that, Google receives only aggregated, cookie-free signals and nothing is stored on your device. If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies to recognise returning visits. You can change your mind at any time via Privacy settings at the bottom of the page.

Your game progress (scores, guesses, streaks) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers.

Advertising

Our advertising partners may use cookies to measure ads and, with your consent, personalise them. You can change your choice anytime via Privacy settings at the bottom of the page.

Cookies

Advertising cookies are set only as described in the Advertising section above. We never sell your data. Besides them, the cookies that may be set are:

• i18n_redirected - remembers the language you picked so you are not redirected away from it. Set by the site itself and required for it to work as you asked.
• _ga and related Google Analytics cookies - only set after you accept.

Third-Party Services

• Simple Analytics - privacy-first analytics (their privacy policy)
• Google Analytics 4 - traffic and usage measurement, only active with your consent in the EEA and the UK (their privacy policy)
• Venatus - advertising, personalised only with your consent (their privacy policy)
• Cloudflare - Cloudflare may process your IP address for routing purposes (their privacy policy)

Your Rights

We hold no account for you and store no personal data on our own servers, so there is no profile to access or correct on our end. If you accepted Google Analytics, you can withdraw that consent at any time via Privacy settings at the bottom of the page. Clearing your browser's localStorage for this site removes your saved game progress.
