Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Local storage keeps information for a website in the browser without using a cookie. Temporary page memory holds information only while the page is open. These technologies serve different purposes.
Storage used by the current tools
| Item | Purpose | Duration and control |
|---|---|---|
| ms_saved_words · local storage | Up to 50 words saved when you choose Save word. | No automatic expiry. Unsave words, use the clear button below or clear site data. |
| ms_analytics_consent_v1 · local storage | Remembers your optional analytics choice. | Up to 180 days. Change it through Privacy choices or clear site data. |
| Vocabulary Quiz · page memory | Current questions, chosen answers, progress and score. | Resets when you refresh or leave the page. The quiz does not set a score cookie or persistent score history. |
| Search filters · URL parameters | Words, meaning descriptions, letter filters and syllable choices. | Carried in the page URL, not stored by a separate filter cookie. URLs may remain in browser history and logs. |
Optional analytics cookies
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity can set cookies after you choose Allow analytics. These may include Google’s _ga and _ga_*, and Clarity’s _clck and _clsk. They support measurement of visits, sessions and interactions. Their lifetimes depend on the provider and configuration; they are separate from the 180-day consent preference.
The managed tracking scripts are blocked before a choice and when analytics is rejected. Reopen Privacy choices to allow or reject them. Withdrawing permission stops these services on subsequent page loads and removes accessible first-party tracking cookies. It does not erase data already held by a provider. Read Google’s cookie information and Microsoft’s Privacy Statement.
WordPress, audio and other services
WordPress can use authentication and security cookies for signed-in administration. Using the public word tools does not require an account. Audio providers receive connection information when their recordings load. External links open websites with their own cookie and privacy practices.
Clear saved words
This button removes only the saved-word list in this browser. It does not change analytics consent, clear all cookies or delete browser history.
Manage browser storage
Your browser settings let you inspect, block or delete cookies and site data. Clearing local storage removes saved words and the remembered consent choice. Blocking required storage may affect sign-in or preference controls. For questions about this policy, email [email protected].
