COOKIE POLICY

Last updated August 27, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how BrowserFun (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://browserfun.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, BrowserFun) are called “first-party cookies.” BrowserFun uses only first-party cookies — we do not set third-party advertising or analytics cookies.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies are used to remember your preferences (such as language) and to support the security and performance of the Website. We also use browser localStorage to store certain site preferences. The specific types of cookies and localStorage values used on our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the tables below.

Essential website cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Performance and functionality cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

__cfuvidSet by Cloudflare to enhance security and performance. Helps identify trusted web traffic and ensures a secure browsing experience.browserfun.comserver_cookieSession

Local storage

These are values stored in your browser's localStorage (not traditional cookies). They persist until cleared manually and cannot be controlled via browser cookie settings, but can be removed by clearing your browser's site data.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage cookies directly through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that choosing to reject or delete cookies may affect certain features or services of our Website.

The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

When someone uses a public page, the browser may send a first-party request with the page path, a duration bucket (for example 1–5 minutes), the hostname of the site that sent the visitor, and we classify the user-agent as phone, tablet, or desktop without storing that user-agent. Game starts may also send the game’s public slug. We increment anonymous daily counters that may include a country code derived by our CDN. We do not attach a user id, name, email, advertising identifier, IP address, full referrer URL, or visitor cookie to those counts. Automated crawlers are ignored. Cloudflare Web Analytics may also run if enabled at the CDN. Parent sign-in, sign-up, and contact forms may show a first-party math puzzle to block bots; that is security, not advertising analytics. We count how many puzzles were shown, solved, or failed, by form type, without storing the answer or IP.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

No. BrowserFun does not serve targeted advertising and does not use advertising cookies or share your data with ad networks for marketing purposes.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
