Transparency & Compliance Standard

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 • Compliant with EU GDPR, ePrivacy, US CCPA/CPRA, and India DPDPA

Your Privacy, Your Choice

You can review, modify, or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, provide a smoother experience, and supply analytical metrics to site administrators.

Word House (word.house), maintained by Lurnur Studio, uses browser cookies, HTML5 LocalStorage, and IndexedDB cache files. We operate under a privacy-by-design standard: non-essential tracking cookies are disabled by default until you grant affirmative consent.

2. International Policy Alignment

Our cookie architecture adheres to the world’s leading digital privacy frameworks:

European Union & United Kingdom (GDPR & ePrivacy Directive): Prior opt-in consent is strictly required for analytics and tracking cookies. We employ Google Consent Mode v2 so that analytical cookies are never loaded or stored without your express permission.
United States (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA): We do not sell your personal data. We honor opt-out rights for cross-context behavioral advertising and automatically respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal emitted by privacy browsers.
India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act - DPDPA 2023): Consent is affirmative, free, specific, informed, and easily revocable through our settings panel.
Canada (PIPEDA) & Brazil (LGPD): Purpose limitation and data minimization are strictly upheld across all platforms.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Category	Cookie / Token	Provider	Duration	Purpose
Strictly Necessary	wordhouse_cookie_consent_v1 wordhouse_consent __cf_bm / cf_clearance	Word House / Cloudflare	Up to 12 months	Preserves your cookie choices, routes traffic through Cloudflare’s secure global edge network, and protects against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) bot traffic.
Performance & Analytics	_ga _ga_*	Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)	Up to 2 years	Gathers anonymized telemetry on search speeds, error rates, and popular tournament anagram lookups so we can enrich lexicon definitions. Operates under Google Consent Mode v2 with IP masking enabled.
Functional & Preferences	wordhouse_theme wordhouse_a11y_prefs	Word House (First-party LocalStorage)	Persistent	Remembers your dark/light theme, custom Scrabble board multipliers, dyslexia-friendly typography, and color-vision deficiency reading ruler states.
Advertising & Marketing	_gcl_*, IDE, DSID	Google AdSense / Partners	Session to 13 months	Allows partner advertising networks to serve relevant contextual or targeted ads. Disabled by default unless explicitly activated by you.

4. Google Consent Mode v2 Technical Implementation

To uphold European and international privacy rulings, Word House embeds Google Consent Mode v2 directly into our HTML head. Before the Google tag (gtag.js) fires, the default consent signals are declared as:

gtag('consent', 'default', {
  'analytics_storage': 'denied',
  'ad_storage': 'denied',
  'ad_user_data': 'denied',
  'ad_personalization': 'denied',
  'security_storage': 'granted',
  'functionality_storage': 'granted'
});

Only when an affirmative "Accept All" or "Save Choices with Analytics" is confirmed do these parameters transition to granted.

5. How to Control or Revoke Your Cookies

You have full autonomy over your cookie preferences through three convenient mechanisms:

Interactive Cookie Settings: Click the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any Word House page or click the button below to toggle categories anytime.
Browser Settings: You can configure Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Brave to reject or delete cookies entirely via your browser's Privacy & Security settings.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): If you use a browser or extension that broadcasts a GPC signal, Word House automatically treats advertising and analytics tracking as opted-out.
