Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Flickosaur ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website at flickosaur.com (the "Service").

Flickosaur is a free, browser-based gaming platform that prioritizes user privacy. We do not require user registration, do not collect personal information, and do not use tracking-based advertising.

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Service, certain information is collected automatically through Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Analytics. This includes:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Referring website or source
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • General geographic location (country and region level only)
  • Screen resolution and viewport size

Important: We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization enabled and Cloudflare Analytics which is privacy-focused and does not use cookies or collect personally identifiable information. Neither service tracks users across websites or creates advertising profiles.

2.2 Information Stored Locally

We use your browser's local storage to enhance your gaming experience. This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. Locally stored data includes:

  • Game progress and state for the current session
  • Your game scores and statistics
  • Display preferences (if applicable)

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not collect:

  • Names, email addresses, or contact information
  • Account credentials or passwords (we have no accounts)
  • Payment or financial information
  • Precise location data (GPS coordinates)
  • Personal identifiers or advertising IDs
  • Social media profiles or connections
  • Any information from children under 13

3. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Service Improvement: Understanding how users interact with our games to improve user experience
  • Technical Optimization: Identifying technical issues and optimizing performance across different devices and browsers
  • Content Planning: Analyzing aggregate usage patterns to inform future game development
  • Security: Protecting our Service from abuse and ensuring availability

We do not sell, rent, or share any information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

4.1 Our Approach

We take a privacy-first approach to cookies and tracking. We do not use:

  • Third-party tracking cookies
  • Advertising cookies or pixels
  • Cross-site tracking technologies
  • Fingerprinting techniques

4.2 Essential Cookies

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and analytics (Google Analytics 4) may set essential cookies required for security, performance, and analytics, such as:

  • __cf_bm: Bot management cookie to distinguish humans from bots
  • cf_clearance: Security cookie set after completing a security challenge
  • _ga, _ga_*: Google Analytics cookies for aggregate usage analytics (with IP anonymization)

These cookies are used for the operation, security, and improvement of the Service.

4.3 Local Storage

We use browser local storage (not cookies) to save your game progress. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to any server. You can manage or delete this data through your browser settings.

5. Social Sharing Features

Our Service includes social sharing buttons that allow you to share your game results on social media platforms. Please note:

  • Social sharing is entirely optional and initiated only by you
  • We do not automatically post anything to your social media accounts
  • When you click a share button, you will be redirected to the respective social platform
  • Any information shared is governed by that platform's privacy policy
  • We do not receive any information from social platforms about your accounts

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any social media platforms you use for sharing.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our website:

6.1 Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare for hosting, content delivery, security, and analytics. Cloudflare may process technical data as described in their privacy policy. Cloudflare Analytics is designed to be privacy-preserving and does not track individuals across sites.

Learn more: Cloudflare Privacy Policy

6.2 Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization to understand aggregate usage patterns. Google Analytics helps us improve the Service by providing insights into how users interact with our games. We have configured it to minimize data collection and do not use it for advertising purposes.

Learn more: Google Privacy Policy

7. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal information, there is minimal data to retain:

  • Analytics Data: Cloudflare and Google Analytics retain aggregate analytics data according to their respective data retention policies
  • Local Storage: Data stored in your browser remains until you clear it or it expires
  • Server Logs: Basic server logs may be retained for up to 30 days for security purposes

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we process:

  • All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
  • Our website is protected by Cloudflare's security features including DDoS protection
  • We regularly update our systems and dependencies to address security vulnerabilities
  • Access to any backend systems is restricted and secured

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to implementing industry-standard protections.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is intended for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Since our Service does not require registration and does not collect personal information, children can safely play our games under parental supervision.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has somehow provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at contact@flickosaur.com, and we will take steps to remove such information.
