Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 23, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage (browser-side storage) for certain preferences.
2. Cookies We Use
Below is a complete list of every cookie and storage item used on WordlyPlay:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Maintains your login session. Without this cookie, you would need to log in on every page visit. | Session (deleted when you close your browser) | |
wd_guest |
Identifies you as a guest player so your game progress is tracked within a session, even without an account. | 1 year | |
csrf_token |
Security token that protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Ensures form submissions come from our website. | Session |
Preference Storage
These items remember your choices and customisations. They are stored in your browser's localStorage, not as cookies.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
wd_theme |
Remembers your dark mode or light mode preference so the page loads with your chosen theme. | Until manually cleared |
Analytics Cookies (Third-Party)
These cookies are set by Google Analytics 4 to help us understand how visitors use our website. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes unique visitors to our website. Used by Google Analytics to compile statistical reports on website activity. | 2 years | |
_ga_Z9KVRPJBQM |
Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. Tracks which pages you visit during a single session. | 2 years |
Analytics cookies are set by Google LLC. For details on how Google processes this data, see Google's Privacy Policy.
3. How to Control Cookies
You have several options to control or limit cookies:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Here are links for popular browsers:
Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and may affect game functionality.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
To specifically opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Clear localStorage
To clear preference storage (like theme settings), open your browser's Developer Tools (usually F12), go to the Application/Storage tab, and clear localStorage for this site.
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Service does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can opt out of analytics tracking using the methods described above.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Please check back periodically for any changes.
