Privacy
Last Updated: April 2026
At Dots and Boxes Online, accessible from your domain, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by us and how we use it.
1. Log Files and Analytics
Like most websites, we follow a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, and referring/exit pages. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies
Google is one of the third-party vendors on our site. It uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to our website and other sites on the internet. However, visitors may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy.
3. Firebase Real-Time Data
For our Online Multiplayer mode, we utilize Firebase Realtime Database. This service tracks temporary game states (line placements, scores, and player connectivity). Crucially: All room data is automatically purged from our servers once the match is finalized or all participants have disconnected. We do not store permanent records of your gameplay.
4. Advertising Partners Privacy Policies
Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Dots and Boxes Online. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see.
5. Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately.
6. Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its Terms and Conditions.
