Cookie Policy

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, SofaBreak uses cookies — small files that are downloaded to your device to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We also explain how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, though this may downgrade or break certain elements of the site's functionality.

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. In most cases there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to the site. We recommend leaving all cookies enabled if you are not sure whether you need them, in case they support a feature you use.

You can prevent cookies from being set by adjusting your browser settings (see your browser's Help section for instructions). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of SofaBreak and many other websites. Disabling cookies will usually also disable certain functionality and features of this site. We therefore recommend that you do not disable cookies.

Site preferences cookies

To provide you with a great experience on this site, we offer functionality to set your preferences for how the site runs when you use it. In order to remember your preferences we need to set cookies so that this information can be recalled whenever you interact with a page that is affected by your preferences.

Game session cookies

When you play games or complete daily challenges on SofaBreak, we use session cookies to maintain your game state during that session — for example, your current puzzle progress or game score. These cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser.

Daily challenge cookies

We use cookies to remember whether you have already completed today's daily challenge, so we can show you your result rather than prompting you to play again.

In some cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details the third-party cookies you might encounter on this site.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web. It helps us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit, so we can continue to produce engaging content. For more information on Google Analytics cookies, see the official Google Analytics page.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to manage the loading of scripts and tags on the site. GTM itself does not set any persistent cookies, but scripts loaded through GTM (such as Google Analytics) may set cookies as described above.

Third-party analytics

Third-party analytics are used to track and measure usage of this site so that we can continue to produce engaging content. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site or which pages you visit, which helps us understand how we can improve the site for you.

A/B testing cookies

From time to time we test new features and make subtle changes to the way the site is delivered. When we are testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure you receive a consistent experience while on the site, and to help us understand which optimisations our users appreciate most.

Advertising cookies

SofaBreak uses advertising to offset the costs of running the site and to fund further development. The behavioural advertising cookies used by this site are designed to serve you the most relevant adverts where possible, by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar things that may be of interest to you.

The Google AdSense service uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and to limit the number of times a given ad is shown to you. For more information see the official Google AdSense privacy FAQ.

Embedded game content

Some games featured on SofaBreak are embedded from third-party game providers. These providers may set their own cookies when their games are loaded. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party game provider whose content you interact with.

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:

• Browser settings — all modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Check your browser's Help section for instructions specific to your browser.
• Google Analytics opt-out — you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data being used by Google Analytics.
• Interest-based ad opt-out — visit Your Online Choices (EU/UK) or About Ads (US) to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
• Google Ad Settings — manage how Google uses your data for advertising at adssettings.google.com.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how SofaBreak functions, including your ability to track daily challenge progress or maintain game sessions.

Hopefully that has clarified things for you. As previously mentioned, if you are not sure whether you need a particular cookie, it's usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case they support a feature you use on the site.

For more details on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us:
