Your game data

Your progress, game history and personal statistics are saved in this browser. The daily game and each practice category keep separate progress and scores; practice does not count towards daily streaks. We also save your answer-mode assignment, daily search experiment group and experiment versions. Search pauses and remaining answer time are saved with your game. This static game has no account or gameplay backend. Clear this site’s browser data to delete these records.

Hosting and analytics

Our hosting provider processes technical information about website requests to serve and protect the site.

We use a separate Footbillion Umami website configuration to measure visits, category choices, game starts and resumes, answer-mode exposure, question stages and elapsed time, outcomes, finished questions, score views, copying, statistics, answer reviews, source visits and language changes. Daily search clicks, returns and completion are measured by experiment group; category practice is excluded from that experiment. Seven-question completion is compared with valid game starts; opening the score is separate. We also measure when each answer is shown, time spent on its result while this site is visible and focused, and source clicks from results or the final review. This includes the seventh result. It measures time here, not whether someone read the explanation. Time away, including search, is separate; whole-game elapsed time may include background and between-question pauses. Events include daily or practice mode, category, language, game date, question ID, content and experience versions, actual answer mode, experiment group and eligibility where applicable, attempts, scores and time. These Umami events do not send question text, search queries, answers, typed input, option text, identity identifiers, a saved game’s unique identity, full saved games or stored history.

Umami does not use cookies.

Google analytics tags and your choice

We use Google analytics tags to understand visits. The Google tag loads immediately on all domains, including previews, after consent defaults are initialized. It may measure page views and technical request information and send measurements without cookies before you accept or after you reject. Regional defaults and your saved choice control analytics cookies. Without a regional default, analytics cookies stay off until you accept.

Your choice is saved in this browser. Open “Cookie settings” in the footer to accept, reject or withdraw analytics consent. Withdrawing updates the consent state and deletes Google Analytics cookies; it does not unload tags that have already loaded, which may still send cookieless requests. Advertising consent stays denied.

Google search

If you use the daily game’s search button, Google receives the full current question in your selected language as a search query in a new tab. Your typed answer is not included. Google handles that visit under its own privacy policy. We cannot see your search results or activity there.
