Cookies are not the same as local storage or third-party requests

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of data stored by the browser and typically sent with later requests to the same service. They are often used for sessions, preferences, or analytics.

Local storage and third-party requests

Local storage is browser-side storage that can keep data on a device without behaving exactly like a cookie. A third-party request is a request from your browser to an outside service, such as font or analytics infrastructure, even if it does not create a cookie in the browser.

Current site behavior

What GeoQuizGenius uses today

Local browser storage currently in use

Local highscores saved on the device only after preference consent
Favorites ordering based on saved local play history only after preference consent
Fresh Picks personalization based on unplayed local history only after preference consent
Optional language-preference cookie only after preference consent

What GeoQuizGenius does not currently set for accounts

GeoQuizGenius does not run an account system, login session, or member area. As a result, it does not currently use first-party account or session cookies for sign-in behavior.

Current third-party requests

Google Fonts for typography delivery, only after external-services consent
Icons delivered as local first-party assets by GeoQuizGenius
Cloudflare Web Analytics for traffic measurement, only after external-services consent
Google AdSense for ads, ad measurement, and possible advertising cookies or similar identifiers, only after external-services consent

How to change consent later

GeoQuizGenius provides a cookie settings control in the site footer so visitors can revisit their decision later.

Rejecting non-essential options keeps search and core navigation available while optional browser storage, external services, analytics, and AdSense ads remain blocked.
