Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 26, 2026

Information We Collect

The Original Snake is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal data to operate the game and leaderboard:

  • Leaderboard entries: Nickname (chosen by you), score, difficulty, and submission timestamp. No email or account required.
  • Analytics: We use PostHog in cookieless mode for anonymous usage statistics. No personal data is collected or stored.
  • Local storage: Your high score and sound preference are stored locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.

Cookies

The Original Snake does not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. PostHog analytics runs in memory-only mode with no cookies or persistent identifiers.

Third-Party Services

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can manage your ad preferences at Google Ad Settings.

Data Retention

Leaderboard entries are retained indefinitely to maintain historical rankings. We do not store any personally identifiable information beyond the nickname you choose.
