Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how TicTacToeFun (the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your browser when you visit it. Cookies let the site remember things about you — like your settings or whether you've been there before — and they let advertisers measure how their ads perform.
Some cookies come from us (first-party cookies); others come from third-party services we use, like Google AdSense and Google Analytics (third-party cookies).
How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
1. Strictly necessary
These cookies (and similar technologies like localStorage) are essential for the Site to work properly. They store things like your theme preference (light/dark) and the current state of any game you're playing. Without them, basic features won't function. These are set by us and stay on your device only.
2. Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our Site. These cookies collect anonymous information such as the number of visitors, which pages are most popular, and how long people stay. We use this data to improve the Site. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Advertising
We may display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site or other sites on the Internet. This is called "interest-based advertising" or "personalized advertising."
You can manage personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of personalized advertising from many third-party vendors at once via www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
Types of cookies we may use
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Preference (localStorage) | Remembers your theme and game settings | Until cleared |
| _ga, _gid (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes unique visitors | Up to 2 years |
| __gads, __gpi (Google AdSense) | Measures and serves ads | Up to 13 months |
| DSID, IDE (DoubleClick) | Personalized advertising | Up to 13 months |
Note: The exact cookies set by Google may change over time. For the latest information, see Google's cookie documentation.
