Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 19, 2026
Overview
This privacy policy explains what data wordsaladanswers.info collects when you visit, how that data is used, and what controls you have over it. The site is a puzzle answer reference for the mobile game Word Salad. See the about page for background on who operates the site. It is independently operated and is not affiliated with Bleppo Games or any advertising network. The goal is to collect as little data as possible while still keeping the site running reliably.
Data Collected Automatically
When you visit any page on this site, the web server logs a standard set of request data: your IP address, the page you requested, the referring URL if any, your browser type and version, and the date and time of the request. This data is stored in server access logs and is used only for diagnosing technical problems and monitoring for abuse. Server logs are deleted on a rolling 30-day cycle. No personal profile is built from this data and it is not shared with third parties.
Cookies
This site uses a small number of cookies. The table below describes each one.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| zw_consent | Necessary (after interaction) | Stores your response to the analytics consent banner - either accepted or declined. Set only after you interact with the banner. | 365 days |
| ws-theme | Necessary (functional) | Stores your dark or light mode preference so the correct theme loads on your next visit. | Session or until cleared |
| _pk_id / _pk_ses | Analytics (opt-in only) | Matomo analytics tracking cookies. Set only if you accept analytics via the consent banner. Used to count page views and sessions in aggregate. | 13 months / 30 minutes |
No advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party marketing scripts are loaded on this site at any time.
Analytics
This site uses Matomo, a self-hosted, open-source analytics platform. Matomo is hosted on the same server as the site, at the path /mta/, and does not send any data to third-party servers. Analytics data is only collected if you accept the consent banner that appears on your first visit. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no page view data is recorded.
When analytics consent is granted, Matomo records anonymised page view data including pages visited, session duration, and general device type. IP addresses are anonymised before storage - the last two octets are replaced with zeros, so 203.0.113.100 is stored as 203.0.0.0. This data is used only to understand which pages are most useful to visitors so the site can be improved. It is not sold, shared, or used for advertising targeting.
You can withdraw analytics consent at any time by clearing the zw_consent cookie for this domain. If you block cookies entirely in your browser, no analytics data is collected regardless of any prior consent.
Comments
Some pages on this site have a comment form. If you submit a comment, your name (as entered) and the comment text are stored in the site database pending review. Comments are not published automatically - they are held in a moderation queue and reviewed before being made public. If your comment is not approved, the data is deleted. If you want a previously published comment removed, use the contact page to request deletion and include the page URL and approximate date of the comment.
Data Retention
Server logs are deleted after 30 days. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form and may be kept indefinitely. Published comment data (name and text only) is retained as long as the comment remains published. No payment data, account credentials, or sensitive personal information is ever collected or stored by this site.
Third-Party Links
Pages on this site link to external resources including the Word Salad app store listings and the Bleppo Games website. This site has no control over the privacy practices of those destinations. Clicking an external link means you are leaving this site and the privacy policy of the destination applies from that point. No affiliate tracking parameters are added to outbound links.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to any personal data held about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, and to request deletion of data that is no longer necessary. Because this site collects minimal data and retains it only for operational purposes, most requests can be handled by clearing your own browser cookies. For anything else, use the contact page.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy changes in a material way, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The most common reason for updates is the addition or removal of tools that affect what cookies are set.
