STORAGE NOTICE

Essential storage now. Privacy choices before advertising.

Clue XI uses essential browser and app storage to run gameplay and remember preferences. The iPhone/iPad app stores a local 16-or-over age-band choice before advertising consent; it never asks for a date of birth, and under-16 players receive no ad request. Eligible free players may be offered a Google advert after every third completed game. The Android app does not currently load native advertising. Clue XI does not use cross-app/cross-site tracking.

Advertising status — 26 September 2026

Advertising is currently disabled on the website. The standalone Android and iPhone/iPad apps (version 1.1.0) do not include an advertising SDK. References below to advertising, age checks and Google privacy controls describe conditional functionality, including older supported iPhone/iPad builds; they do not mean ads are currently running. Before advertising is enabled, the applicable consent controls must be available and tested. Essential gameplay does not require advertising consent.

Optional Google advertising

Clue XI limits Google advertising to free website players and supported iPhone/iPad builds at a natural break after every third completed game. The required Google-certified consent platform presents privacy choices before optional advertising is used. You can refuse optional advertising technology and continue using essential gameplay. Pro members and the current Android app remain ad-free. This notice and the privacy-choice panel identify Google, its approved partners, each purpose and the available controls.

First-party analytics stays separate

Clue XI records privacy-safe daily event totals on its own server, such as how many quizzes were started or completed. These first-party totals do not contain a player, device, IP address or browser identifier and are not combined with advertising-provider reports.

Your controls

You can clear essential site data through your browser or app settings. Doing so may reset guest access, language, locally cached points and access to the profile created on this device. If optional advertising is introduced, you will be able to reopen the Google-certified privacy choices from this notice and the site footer, change or withdraw your consent and keep playing if you refuse.
