Privacy choices

What you can control here, in the present tense — and what would change if advertising is switched on.

Where things stand today

No advertising is running on this site. No advertising script is loaded, no advertising network is contacted because of your visit, and no advertising cookie or identifier is set.

That is the reason this page is short. There is no consent banner to revisit and no personalisation to switch off, because there is nothing switched on. A control that pretended otherwise would be the opposite of a privacy choice.

Advertising controls

The line below is not a placeholder. It reports what this page can actually find: a control appears there only when a real consent tool is present and offers a documented way to reopen it. Nothing is drawn that would not work.

No advertising is running on this site, so there is no consent choice to revisit and nothing here to reopen. If that changes, a control will appear in this position — and if it does not, the browser and account controls described below are the ones that apply.

Where local law requires a consent choice before advertising cookies may be used — across the EEA, the UK and Switzerland in particular — that choice will be presented before any such cookie is set, not after. If advertising is enabled and no control appears here, the controls in sections 3 and 4 are the ones that apply, and they are not dependent on this site.

What you can control right now

  • Sound. Off from Settings on the main menu, or from the corner control during the game. The choice is remembered on your device.
  • Motion. Turn on your operating system’s reduce-motion setting and the game removes every displacement, shake, drift and blink while keeping the colour and texture.
  • Everything the game learned. Close the tab, or reload the page. The profile is held in memory only and is destroyed either way, with nothing left behind.
  • The two stored items. Clear this site’s data in your browser to remove the muted-sound preference and the session cookie. The game still works.
  • Cookies generally. Block them for this site if you prefer. The game remains playable; the server simply cannot keep the abuse limits attached to your game.

Browser and platform controls

Independently of anything this site does, your browser offers controls worth knowing about: blocking third-party cookies, clearing site data, private browsing, and extensions that block advertising and tracking outright. None of them will break this game.

Google offers account-level advertising settings at myadcenter.google.com. They apply across every site where Google’s advertising appears, they work whether or not advertising is ever enabled here, and they belong to you rather than to this site — which is exactly why this page points at them rather than trying to reproduce them. Following that link is the only thing on this page that contacts Google, and only if you choose to.

Analytics

Page views are counted by a cookieless analytics product, and a small set of anonymous product events records whether visitors start and finish a game. Neither carries your answers, your profile, your scores or the verdict — that restriction is enforced in code, not by policy. The detail is in section 9 of the privacy policy.

There is no per-person analytics record here, so there is no analytics profile to request or delete.

Contact

A contact address for hum(ai)n has not been published yet. One will be listed here before any advertising is enabled on this site.
