Last updated: July 30, 2026

1. What’s in this policy?

This policy tells you what information we might collect about you, how we use that information, how advertising cookies work on this site, and your choices about your information.

2. What does this policy cover?

This policy covers WhichAnimalToday only. It doesn’t cover other sites or services you might reach from here — including Wikimedia Commons and Google AdSense — which follow their own privacy policies.

3. What information do we collect?

We do not require an account or collect your name, email address, or other personal information. Game progress lives locally in your browser and never leaves your device. Google AdSense and its partners may use advertising cookies. Hosting providers may retain standard technical logs for security and operational purposes; we do not access or analyse these logs ourselves.

4. How does this site use cookies and advertising?

This site’s own code does not set cookies. Once active, Google AdSense may use cookies to serve and measure ads. Visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland will see Google’s consent banner for personalised advertising. You can also opt out through Google’s Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

5. What about children’s privacy?

This site is for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If the site is later found to attract a significant child audience, its ad settings will be updated to serve only non-personalised ads, in line with Google’s requirements.

6. What are your choices?

Clear your browser’s site data at any time to reset your local game progress and streak. Use your browser’s cookie settings or the advertising opt-out links in section 4 to control advertising cookies. Because we don’t hold personal information ourselves, there is no account to delete and no personal data for us to correct or hand over.

7. How long do we keep information?

We don’t hold your information ourselves, so there is nothing on our end with a retention period. Your game progress stays in your own browser for as long as you keep it there. Google AdSense cookies follow Google’s own retention rules.

8. What is our legal basis for this?

For visitors in the UK or European Economic Area, consent is the basis for personalised advertising cookies and can be withdrawn through Google’s consent banner. Legitimate interest is the basis for basic hosting logs, which help keep the site secure and operational.

9. Will this policy change?

It might, as the site grows. If it does, the “Last updated” date at the top will be revised. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
