Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Cookies are small files that a website asks your browser to store, so the site can remember something small between visits. This page explains what cookies are, which ones WordHint uses, and how you can control them.
What cookies this site uses
WordHint uses only the cookies it needs to work, if any. It does not use advertising cookies, and it does not use cookies to track you across other websites. If your browser stores a cookie from this site, it is there to keep the site working, not to watch you.
The Pips cookie is not a browser cookie
Players often ask about the Pips cookie, and it is worth clearing up the confusion: the cookie in the game is a speedrun badge in your share text, not a file stored by your browser. It has nothing to do with this policy, and earning one does not store anything on your device. You can read more about it in the cookie section of the homepage.
Third-party cookies
This site does not load third-party advertising or tracking scripts, so it does not set third-party advertising cookies. If that ever changes, this page will be updated first.
How to control cookies
You can control cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block cookies, delete cookies, or ask to be told when a cookie is set. Blocking cookies will not stop you from reading the hints or playing the solver, because the solver runs in your browser and does not need a cookie to work. The exact steps depend on your browser, so look under privacy or site settings in the browser you use.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new last updated date.
