Analytics and cookies

With your permission, Google Analytics uses cookies to help us understand how visitors engage with the site. It measures page visits, reading activity, referral sources, approximate location and device information. Google receives technical information, including your IP address on connection, and cookie identifiers. Analytics loads only after you accept; advertising features are disabled.

Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) and your saved consent choice last up to 180 days. Data already sent to Google is subject to the Analytics account’s retention settings. You can withdraw consent below or through the footer at any time; this stops future collection but does not delete earlier data.

Browser exclusion is saved on this browser until you remove it or clear browser data.

Newsletter and services

If you subscribe, Kit stores your email address and subscription status to send updates with your consent. You can unsubscribe in any email or contact Yinka to request deletion. Embedded signup forms contact Kit when they load, independently of your analytics choice. Optional tips are handled on Kit’s payment page; this site does not collect card details.

Videos use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player. It contacts YouTube only after you choose to load a video; YouTube then processes playback and technical information under Google’s privacy policy, independently of your analytics choice.

OpenAI Sites hosting and Google Fonts process technical information to deliver and protect the website. Analytics preferences do not control these services. Service providers may process information outside the UK. See Google’s privacy policy and Kit’s privacy policy for their data practices.

The game and leaderboard

Practice stays in your browser. Timed attempts send correct country answers to our server to check the score; unpublished attempts are removed after 24 hours on the next attempt. A first-party game cookie (nftb_player, up to 180 days) recognises this browser so each board shows your best result. A short-lived hash of your IP address helps limit abuse; the game database does not save your raw IP address.

Joining is optional. If you join, your chosen nickname, score and time are public and stored for the all-time and monthly boards until removed. Avoid personal details. Email Yinka to request removal of your entries. Game storage is separate from optional Google Analytics.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you can request access, correction, deletion or a portable copy of your personal data, restrict its use, or object to processing. Contact Yinka using the email above. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
