Privacy

Place the News has no accounts, no cookies and no tracking.

Stored on your device

Your browser keeps your game progress, your results and your settings (for example whether distances are shown) in its local storage. This never leaves your device. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Anonymous daily results

When you finish one of the two daily puzzles, the site sends which puzzle it was and how many headlines you needed. Only the totals per puzzle are stored, to show how everyone did. No name, user id, cookie or IP address is stored with it.

Services that load parts of the page

• Cloudflare hosts the site and, like any web host, processes your IP address to deliver the page and protect it from abuse.
• Fonts load from Google Fonts and the map libraries from jsDelivr. Those services receive your IP address when your browser fetches the files.
• Headlines link to the news sites that published them. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
