Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Minesweeper Classic collects, how Google Analytics is used, and how your best times are stored.

Last updated August 31, 2026TermsAbout Us

Overview

minesweeperclassic.com (“we”, “us”) operates the free browser game at minesweeperclassic.com. We keep the experience lightweight: you can play without an account, and your records are stored on your device.

Information we collect

We do not require you to sign up or provide a name, password, or payment details to play.

  • Local game data: best times, games played, win rate, and streaks per board size may be saved in your browser (for example via local storage) so your record persists between visits.
  • Usage analytics: we use Google Analytics to collect aggregated information about how the site is used.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to measure traffic and engagement — for example page views, sessions, and gameplay events such as starting, clearing, or losing a board. Google may process data such as:

  • Approximate location derived from IP address
  • Device and browser type
  • Pages visited and time spent on the site
  • Events we send related to gameplay (for example board start or win)

Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies where supported by your browser. Google's processing of this data is governed by Google's own policies. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and manage analytics preferences through your browser settings or Google's opt-out tools where available.

We use this information only to understand how Minesweeper Classic is used and to improve the game and site. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and similar technologies

In addition to any cookies used by Google Analytics, your browser may store local data needed for gameplay records. You can clear cookies and site data at any time through your browser settings; doing so may reset your best times and affect analytics measurement.

How we use information

  • To operate and improve Minesweeper Classic
  • To understand which board sizes and features are engaging
  • To maintain site reliability and diagnose issues

Data retention

Local records remain on your device until you clear them. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics configuration and Google's retention settings.

Children

Minesweeper Classic is a general-audience logic puzzle. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a way that requires parental consent under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through means outside normal gameplay analytics, please reach out via our About Us page.

Third-party links

The site may link to third-party resources (for example Google policies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates means you acknowledge the revised policy.
