This is an unofficial English translation of our Privacy Policy, provided for informational purposes and user convenience only. It has no legal force. In the event of any discrepancy between this translation and the German original, the German Privacy Policy shall prevail as the sole legally binding document. The same applies to the Impressum, which is available in German only.
The protection of your personal data is important to us. This Privacy Policy informs you in accordance with Art. 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about which personal data is collected and processed on this website, for what purposes, and what rights you have.

2. Data Collection on This Website
2.1 Server Log Files (Cloudflare)
This website is delivered via Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). Cloudflare automatically processes certain technical information transmitted by your browser when you access this site (server log files), including:
- IP address of the requesting device (stored in anonymised form)
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the requested file
- Previously visited website (referrer URL)
- Browser and operating system used
- Name of the internet service provider
- HTTP status code
These data are not merged with other data sources and are used solely to ensure stable operation of the website.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and stable website operation)
Retention period: Log files are retained by Cloudflare in accordance with their privacy policy. Further information: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
2.2 Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Technically necessary cookies enable basic website functions (e.g. storing your cookie consent) and are set without consent. All other cookies — in particular advertising cookies from Google AdSense — are only set if you have given your explicit consent.
You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time using the button in the "Manage Cookies" section below.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) for non-essential cookies; Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) for technically necessary cookies
Retention period: Until manually deleted via your browser settings (clear site data).
2.3 Encrypted Data Transmission (SSL/TLS)
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit. An encrypted connection is indicated by https:// in your browser's address bar and the padlock symbol. Data you transmit while visiting this site cannot be read by third parties.
3. Google AdSense
This website displays advertisements via Google AdSense. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Within the European Union, data processing is the responsibility of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Google AdSense uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to personalise ads and measure campaign effectiveness. Google may collect and process, among other things:
- Device and browser information
- IP address
- Cookie IDs and advertising IDs
- Pages visited and interactions (for interest-based advertising)
- Approximate location (based on IP address)
Data may be transferred to servers in the USA. Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, ensuring an adequate level of data protection for transfers to the USA (EU Commission implementing decision of 10 July 2023).
Personalised ads are only shown if you have given your consent. Without consent, AdSense displays only contextual, non-personalised ads.
This website uses Google Consent Mode v2. Consent signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage) are transmitted to Google before AdSense loads. Without consent, ad_storage is set to denied, preventing AdSense from setting personalising cookies. Further information: Google Consent Mode.
You can manage personalised ads via Google Ad Settings or opt out via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool. Further information on Google's data processing can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Without consent, no AdSense advertising cookies are set.
Retention period: The retention period of AdSense cookies is determined by Google. Further information: Google Cookie Policy.
4. IndexedDB and Local Storage
To provide an uninterrupted gaming experience, this website saves your game state (current puzzle, difficulty level, timer, moves) locally in your browser via IndexedDB.
This data is stored exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to us or any third party. It does not constitute personal data within the meaning of the GDPR, as no link to a specific individual is established.
You can delete locally stored data at any time via your browser settings (clear site data / cookies).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract — provision of the game function) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the functionality of the application)
Retention period: Stored locally on a permanent basis until manually deleted via browser settings (clear site data).
5. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the GDPR you have the following rights: access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability where applicable (Art. 20), and the right to withdraw a given consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). To exercise these rights, please contact the address given in the Impressum (German only).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR): Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz Brandenburg.
6. Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where your data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests) — on this website this applies to Cloudflare server log files — you have the right to object at any time.
Following an objection, we will no longer process the data in question unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Please direct any objection to the contact address given in the Impressum.
