We aim to use cookies only for legitimate purposes related to operating, improving, securing, and analyzing our website.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

3.1: Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be required for certain basic functions of our website.

These cookies can help with:

  • Website functionality.
  • Cookie-consent preferences.
  • Proper operation of certain features.
  • Maintaining necessary technical functionality.

Because these cookies may be necessary for the website to operate properly, disabling them may affect certain features or functionality.

3.2: Cookie Consent Cookies

We use CookieYes to help manage cookie consent and preferences.

CookieYes may use cookies or similar technologies to remember a visitor’s cookie preferences and help ensure that the website respects those preferences.

For example, when a visitor chooses our cookie-consent mechanism, information may be stored so that the website can remember that choice on subsequent visits.

The exact cookies and settings used by CookieYes may depend on how the service is configured on our website.

3.3: Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with 5letterrwords.com.

Google Analytics may collect information relating to website usage, such as:

  • Pages visited.
  • Page views.
  • General website interactions.
  • Session information.
  • Browser and device information.
  • General geographic or technical information.
  • Traffic sources and referring websites.
  • Website performance and usage patterns.

This information helps us understand which parts of the website are useful to visitors and where improvements may be needed.

Google Analytics can use cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish users and sessions and to support measurement and reporting.

Google’s documentation also explains that Google Analytics can derive information from browser/device-related identifiers and measurement technologies.

We use analytics information primarily to understand aggregated website usage and improve our website and its features.

3.4: Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may be used where necessary to support particular website features or remember certain preferences.

These cookies can improve the usability of the website by allowing certain settings or choices to be retained.

Not all features of 5letterrwords.com necessarily require functional cookies.

3.5: Advertising Cookies

If advertising services are displayed on 5letterrwords.com, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, personalize, or limit advertisements.

Advertising-related cookies may be used to:

  • Measure advertising performance.
  • Understand interactions with advertisements.
  • Limit repeated advertisements.
  • Support relevant advertising where permitted.
  • Measure conversions or other advertising activity.

The specific cookies used for advertising depend on the advertising services and configurations active on the website.

If advertising technologies are introduced or changed, this Cookie Policy may be updated accordingly.

4. Google Analytics

5letterrwords.com currently has the GA Google Analytics WordPress plugin active.

This plugin is used to add Google Analytics tracking to the website.

Google Analytics may process information about website visits and interactions to provide analytics and reporting. Depending on the configuration, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to recognize a browser or measurement instance and associate interactions with sessions.

Google Analytics can also receive information relating to device and browser characteristics for measurement purposes.

For more information about how Google processes information through its services, visitors should review Google’s applicable privacy documentation.

5. Word-Finding Tools and Search Queries

5letterrwords.com provides word-finding tools for different word lengths, including:

  • 3-letter words
  • 4-letter words
  • 5-letter words
  • 6-letter words
  • 7-letter words

Visitors can search for matching words by entering a single character, the first two characters, or other supported search criteria.

For example, a visitor may enter a letter such as A, or a two-character combination such as AB, and the website may display matching words from its word database.

The basic word-search functionality itself does not necessarily require a cookie.

However, if analytics technologies are enabled, interactions with pages or features may be measured by analytics services. The information collected through such technologies is subject to the applicable third-party service configuration and policies.

We do not consider a user’s ordinary word-search input to be a cookie simply because it is entered into a search field.

6. Third-Party Services

Some technologies used on our website may be provided by third parties.

These may include services used for:

  • Cookie-consent management.
  • Website functionality.
  • Advertising, where applicable.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services. Visitors should review the relevant third party’s privacy documentation for more information.

7. Cookies and Personal Information

Cookies themselves generally contain technical or identifier information rather than directly identifying information such as your name.

However, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may, depending on the service and configuration, be associated with other information held by a third-party provider.

We do not intentionally use cookies to collect sensitive personal information through our basic word-finding functionality.

8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Common browsers provide controls for deleting existing cookies, blocking future cookies, and managing third-party cookies.

If you choose to disable cookies completely, some website functionality may not operate as intended.

10. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, we use a cookie-consent mechanism to provide visitors with control over non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Your consent preferences may be stored so that we can remember your choice.

You may change or withdraw your consent where the relevant controls are available.

Essential technologies necessary for website operation, security, or compliance may continue to operate where permitted by applicable law.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through our website.

However, no website, online service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

12. Children’s Privacy
