Privacy

Last updated August 24, 2026

Shikaku has no accounts and no login, so there is nothing here that identifies you personally. This page explains the little that we do collect.

Puzzle progress

Daily-challenge progress — which rooms you have inked, your time, and your personal best — is remembered in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device unless you choose to share a result.

Visit statistics

We count page views with Umami, an analytics tool we run on our own server. It stores no cookie, no device identifier and no IP address, and produces only aggregated counts. That data is never shared with anyone.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to show ads. If you're in the EU, UK, or a US state with its own privacy law, Google shows its own consent message asking whether it may use cookies to personalise ads before doing so; elsewhere it may show ads without asking, in line with local requirements. Google's own privacy policy governs what it does with that data.

Cookies

We set one cookie of our own that remembers your language. It is not used to track you. The cookie page lists it in detail.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Because we hold no personal data, there is usually nothing to send you — but write to us and we'll confirm that in writing.
