Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Caught Looking LLC ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and play Caught Looking at PlayCaughtLooking.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
The short version: Caught Looking uses your browser's local storage to remember your daily game so you don't replay the same puzzle, and may use basic analytics to understand how the game is used. We do not use cookies for advertising, ad-targeting, or selling your information.
What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
In short: small pieces of data your browser stores to help websites work.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information, such as your preferences or how you've used the site. Local storage is a similar technology built into modern web browsers that lets a website save small amounts of data directly on your device. Both let the site "remember" things between visits. Caught Looking relies primarily on local storage rather than traditional cookies.
How We Use Them
In short: to run the daily game and understand basic usage — nothing more.
We use these technologies for two purposes only:
- To make the daily game work. When you play the day's puzzle, we store a small record on your device — such as the date you last played and your results — so the game can show you your scorebook and so you aren't served the same daily puzzle twice. This is essential to how a daily game functions.
- To understand usage. We may use basic analytics technologies to learn how many people visit and how the game is used, so we can improve it. This information is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.
We do not use cookies or any tracking technology for advertising, ad-targeting, building marketing profiles, or selling or sharing your information.
The Technologies We Use
As Caught Looking grows and adds features, the specific technologies we use may change. We will update this policy and the table above to reflect any changes.
Third-Party Services
Some technologies are set by the third-party services we use to run the game, including our website host (Netlify) and our email newsletter provider (Beehiiv) if you sign up for emails. These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control those technologies, and we encourage you to review the relevant provider's policy for details.
How to Control Cookies and Local Storage
In short: you're in control through your browser settings.
You can control and delete cookies and local storage through your web browser's settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, clear local storage, and browse in a private/incognito mode that stores nothing after you close it. The steps vary by browser — check the "Privacy" or "Settings" section of your browser, or its help pages, for instructions.
Please note: because the daily-play feature depends on local storage to remember your game, clearing or blocking it may reset your daily progress or allow the same puzzle to be replayed. The core game will still work, but it may not behave as intended.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as the game evolves or as laws change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
