Wardle Cookie Policy

Last updated October 14, 2026

This policy applies to wardlegame.com. Native Wardle mobile screens do not use browser cookies; the app stores its authentication credentials and preferences using protected device storage instead.

What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small values a website stores through your browser. Similar browser storage includes local storage and session storage. They can keep a session signed in, remember choices, protect requests, measure usage, or support advertising.

How wardlegame.com uses storage

• Essential: authentication sessions, security controls, database consistency bookmarks, language, accessibility preferences, and game progress. Disabling these values may prevent account or gameplay features from working.
• Advertising: NitroPay and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technology to deliver, limit, and measure website ads according to the choices made in the NitroPay consent manager or US privacy opt-out. Opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information saves a CCPAOPTOUT cookie that tells NitroPay to pass that choice on. Wardle also remembers, in local storage, when an ad break was last shown so breaks stay infrequent.
• Aggregate analytics: Wardle loads Simple Analytics on the production website for aggregate traffic measurement. Wardle does not use it to build individual player profiles.
• Optional discovery: Playlight website features may use operational storage when those features are opened.

Managing your choices

On wardlegame.com, use the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer, provided by the NitroPay consent manager where consent is required, to review or change advertising choices. Visitors in covered US states can use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer, or the opt-out control in the Privacy Notice, instead. You can also remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential storage can sign you out, reset game progress, or stop parts of the website from functioning.

Browser controls vary by product; consult your browser’s privacy or site-data settings for instructions. Removing Wardle site data clears information held by that browser but does not itself delete a registered Wardle account.

Mobile application

The Wardle mobile application is ad-free and does not embed the website advertising system. It stores account tokens in secure device storage and keeps settings, reminders, guest history, and saved rounds in app storage. These values are described in the Privacy Notice and can be removed by uninstalling the app or through the account deletion choices where applicable.

Updates and contact

This policy may change when Wardle or its providers change. The date above identifies the current version. Questions can be sent to info@wardlegame.com.
