The short version
You can play every game on Bored4Games without giving us your name, email or any account. We show advertising, which uses cookies. We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which games are popular. If you choose to create an account, we store the minimum needed to save your progress across devices. We do not sell your personal information.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details. If you sign up, we store your email address and a securely hashed password, or a basic identifier if you sign in with Google. This is optional and only used to save your game progress, scores and streaks.
- Messages you send us. If you use the contact form or the "suggest a game" box, we receive whatever you type, plus any name or contact detail you choose to include.
Information collected automatically
- Usage analytics. We use privacy-focused analytics (Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights) that measure page views and loading performance in aggregate. These are designed not to use identifying cookies or build a personal profile of you.
- Advertising data. Our advertising partner may collect data through cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads. See the advertising section below.
- Local browser storage. Games save things like your high score, settings and progress directly in your own browser using localStorage. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us unless you are signed in and syncing it to your account.

- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
