Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Overview & Data Philosophy
At ChromaOracle ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible from chromaoracle.com, user privacy is fundamental to our platform design. This policy outlines how information is handled when you use our free color-sort puzzle solver.
You can access ChromaOracle anonymously without providing your name, email address, or identity details.
2. Local Storage & Cookie Usage
ChromaOracle relies on standard browser LocalStorage to preserve your non-identifying user interface preferences across sessions:
- Theme preference (light mode, dark mode, or system default).
- Status of the interactive onboarding tour.
- Temporary solver inputs to prevent lost board progress when switching pages.
3. Advertising & Google AdSense Policies
To support free operation of our solver engine, ChromaOracle displays advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense.
• Google Advertising Cookies: Google uses cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out: You can opt out of personalized ads at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
• Consent Mode v2: For visitors from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, advertising cookies remain denied by default until explicit consent choices are made via our integrated Google Funding Choices banner.
4. Analytics Tracking
We collect aggregate traffic patterns to monitor uptime and solver performance using Google Analytics (GA4) and self-hosted privacy-focused Umami Analytics. No cross-site personal profiles are created or sold.
5. GDPR & CCPA Privacy Rights
Under applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to request access, correction, or erasure of any personal data. Since we do not maintain registered user accounts, clearing your browser storage effectively removes all stored site data.
