Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This policy covers your use of https://2048cupcakes.live, a website dedicated to the game 2048 Cupcakes, which plays directly on the homepage, alongside a small number of related titles. It describes the information collected directly by this site through server interactions, visitor forms, comments, and site searches.

It also explains how third-party tools integrated into our pages operate, including embedded game frames, analytics, and advertising. This site lists and embeds these browser games, but it did not build, develop, or publish any of them. The games are served directly through iframes provided by external parties who maintain their own privacy practices. There are no visitor accounts, profiles, or registration steps required to play any game here, so this policy focuses primarily on technical records, user-submitted messages, and automated tracking technologies.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you browse this site, certain technical details are recorded automatically by our own servers. Every page view generates a first-party record containing the requested path, the page type, the game identifier when a specific game is viewed, a device class, the referring host name, and a timestamp. We never record the complete referring URL, and no external third party receives any part of these page view records.

To count visitors without tracking specific individuals over time, our visitor counter uses a hash calculation. It combines an internal secret, the current calendar date, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string into a single value. Your IP address is not stored in readable or raw form within this counter. Because the current date is included within the hash itself, a visitor generates a single count for that day and cannot be linked from one day to the next.

Raw page-view records generated by these requests are kept for 3 days before being deleted, leaving only aggregate daily totals stored over longer periods. Additionally, when you choose to like or favourite a game, your IP address is stored by the system so that the same action is not counted twice.

Information You Send Us

You can send information to us directly through two forms on this website. Our contact form stores your name, email address, subject, and the written message you submit. These submissions are readable by site administrators and remain stored until they are manually deleted. Alongside the message, the system stores your IP address and browser user-agent string to enforce rate limits of three submissions per hour and to block abusive senders.

Additionally, every game page includes a report form. Submitting a report stores the reason selected from a fixed list (including copyright), your written description, an email address if you choose to provide one, your IP address, and a timestamp. The IP address limits reports to three per item per address per day. Each report is stored with a review status in an administrative interface that logs which administrator handled the report and the time it was reviewed, resolved, or dismissed.

Comments You Post

Visitors may choose to leave public comments on individual game pages. When you post a comment, the site stores the commenter name you enter, your comment text, an optional email address if you decide to provide one, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string.

Comments are not deleted according to an automated schedule. A submitted comment remains stored on the site until it is manually removed. If a game is removed from the website, all comments associated with that specific game are deleted alongside it.

Search Queries

When you use the internal search feature on this site, your query is logged to help monitor internal search patterns. The search log stores the search text you entered, your browser user-agent string, the referring page, and your current session identifier.

Within these search logs, your IP address is processed and stored only as an irreversible hash. It is never stored in readable form, preventing the original IP address from being retrieved directly from the search records.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar local storage technologies are used on this site to allow core functions to operate properly. Our site sets its own session cookie so that your navigation holds together consistently as you move between different pages. This session cookie is restricted to HTTP requests, is transmitted across HTTPS connections where available, expires automatically after 30 minutes of visitor inactivity, and has its underlying identifier replaced every 30 minutes.

Beyond our own first-party session cookie, embedded third-party games may set cookies or use storage mechanisms within their respective frames. If analytics or advertising services are currently enabled on the website, those external platforms may also place their own cookies or identifiers on your device. We do not control the cookie deployment or data collection procedures implemented by these external entities.

You have control over these technologies through your browser settings, where you can inspect, block, or delete cookies at any time. However, some site features, advertisements, analytics or embedded games may behave differently when browser storage or third-party scripts are restricted.

Analytics

The site may use Google Analytics to measure visitor traffic and analyze how the site is accessed. When this service is active, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to collect information about your visits, operating under Google's own independent privacy policies.

Google Analytics operates independently from our own first-party server logs, which record page requests without transmitting them to external parties. You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data by reviewing Google's published privacy resources and adjusting any controls they provide.

Advertising

This site may display digital advertisements served by Google AdSense. When advertising is active on our pages, Google may use cookies and similar technological identifiers to deliver advertisements to your browser, governed by Google's own terms and privacy documentation.

We do not operate the advertising delivery systems, nor do we manage the specific identifiers or tracking mechanisms deployed by Google AdSense. Any data handling, collection, or profiling related to the delivery of these advertisements is managed by Google in accordance with its policies and the settings you maintain within your Google account or web browser.

Visitors can inspect or manage their preferences for Google-delivered advertisements through Google's Ads Settings page or through broader consumer opt-out mechanisms provided by industry advertising associations. External ad servers operate under their own independent standards, and you should review Google's advertising documentation to understand their data practices.

Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

All games presented on this website are delivered through embedded iframes hosted by third-party game providers. This site lists and embeds these games to provide access to 2048 Cupcakes and related gameplay; it did not build, develop, or publish any of the games found in the collection.

Because these games load directly from external servers inside an iframe, each provider receives your IP address when the game loads in your web browser. Embedded game providers also have the ability to set their own cookies and read local storage within their frame. We do not control these third-party providers, their underlying server environments, their cookie deployments, or the data practices they execute.

Our published catalogue contains 1 game categories: 2048 Games. Titles that stop functioning are promptly deactivated so the collection remains dependable. However, because we do not host or operate the game files ourselves, you should refer to the individual privacy notices of the respective game developers and hosting networks to learn how they manage user information.

Children's Privacy

The audience for this website includes school-age children who visit to play 2048 Cupcakes and related titles. Because young users visit the site, personal information is treated with extra care. Nothing collected directly by this site is ever used to build an advertising profile of a child.

Playing games on this site never requires registering an account, entering an email address, or submitting personal details. Parents or guardians who have questions about messages, reports, or comments submitted by a child may reach out to request review or removal of that stored information.

How Long We Keep Data

Different categories of data are retained for different lengths of time depending on their functional requirements. Raw page-view records are kept for 3 days and are then deleted, leaving only aggregate daily traffic counts. Our session cookies expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, and their session identifiers are replaced every 30 minutes.

Contact form messages and game reports are stored until manually deleted by site administrators. Public comments stay on the site until removed, and any comments tied to a specific game are deleted when that game is removed from the catalog. Information stored to track game likes is kept to prevent repeat counts.

Your Rights and Choices

You have several practical options to control how your data is handled when interacting with this website. Because there are no user accounts, logins, or saved passwords on this site, playing a game never requires creating an identity or maintaining a profile. You can play all titles anonymously within your browser.

You can manage or restrict cookies, local storage, and scripts through your individual web browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to inspect stored cookies, clear existing files, or block third-party cookies altogether. You can also utilize browser privacy extensions to manage external connections.

If you have submitted personal information through our contact form, game report forms, or public comment forms, you have the right to request access to the information you provided or request its deletion. You can direct any such requests to our designated email mailbox. We review and process submitted requests by inspecting the stored administrative records associated with your submitted name, email address, or relevant comment entries.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect operational modifications, technical adjustments, or changes to our data handling practices. The website has been running since 2026. Any revisions to this document will be posted directly on this page, and your continued use of the site after updates indicates your review of the current terms.

How to Contact Us

If you have questions, notices, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the personal information you have submitted to this site, you can write directly to privacy [at] 2048cupcakes [dot] live. That mailbox exists and is monitored for visitor requests.
