Privacy Policy
At Scrabble-Words.com, we keep the tool free by serving contextual Google Ads while respecting your privacy choices. This page describes what is collected, why it is collected, and how you can manage your preferences.
Information We Collect
We do not ask for names, accounts, or passwords. Letters you enter into the solver are processed in memory and never stored on disk. The only data collected comes from the third-party services listed below so we can keep the site running smoothly.
- Google AdSense: Uses cookies or device identifiers to show relevant ads and prevent fraud.
- Google Analytics: Records anonymized usage metrics (browser type, approximate region, pages visited).
- Server logs: Basic HTTP logs are retained briefly for security troubleshooting.
Advertising & Cookies
As a Google AdSense publisher we comply with the EU User Consent Policy. The cookie banner on the homepage gives you a clear opt-in for personalized ads; if you dismiss the banner we store that preference in localStorage so it is honored on future visits.
You may also manage Google advertising cookies globally at adssettings.google.com or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Analytics & Retention
Analytics data is aggregated, and we review it to understand which word-finder features are most helpful. Individual rack inputs are not tied to an identity. Server access logs are retained for up to 30 days and then automatically purged unless they are needed to investigate abuse.
Google’s processing of data is governed by their Privacy Policy.
Managing Your Choices
- Use the cookie banner to consent to or decline personalized ads. You can reopen the banner by clearing site data in your browser.
- Disable cookies entirely in your browser settings. The solver will still work, but we may show non-personalized ads.
- Contact us if you need a record of any server logs associated with your visit; we will verify ownership before sharing details.
By using the site, you acknowledge that these services may process information as described.
