Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-14

This privacy policy describes how Rarest Answer ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit this website. Rarest Answer is a free trivia game you play in the browser.

No account

You do not create an account. The site does not ask for a name, email address, or password to play or to read the guides. Streak and round stats stay in localStorage on this device. The game does not upload those stats to a Rarest Answer server. Answer checking runs in the browser against prompt data this site publishes. Clearing site data clears the stats. A different browser does not have them.

What this browser stores

localStorage on this device may hold:

  • Game streak and round stats.
  • Theme choice (key theme).
  • Cookie-consent choice (key aw-cookie-consent, value accepted or declined).
  • Dismissed ad or banner flags, when an ad unit is enabled and you close it.
  • A per-page "was this helpful" flag on guide pages (key aw-feedback- plus the page path).

That storage stays on the device. It is not an account. If the browser blocks storage, the game can still be played, and a saved streak will not persist.

Wikidata and Wikipedia

Prompt lists are compiled from Wikidata (CC0) and Wikipedia pageview counts. The dataset is built ahead of time and published by this site. Playing a round does not send your browser to Wikidata or to the pageviews API. We use pageview counts as a popularity signal. We do not republish Wikipedia article text.

Each prompt's source field names the dataset behind it. The published prompts use Wikidata with English Wikipedia pageviews, or Wiktionary pageviews for the English interjection list. A file marked source: fixture would still be placeholder numbers. None of the published prompts use that label.

Third-party services

Advertising, analytics, and comments are off unless the matching environment variables are set. In the wrangler.toml shipped with this repository, the AdSense, Adsterra, Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics, VibeCafé, and giscus identifiers are blank, so a build from that file does not load them. If a deployment fills them in, the services below can collect information under their own policies.

  • Advertising partners (e.g. Google AdSense, Adsterra) — may use cookies to serve ads. AdSense and Adsterra units load only after you accept the cookie banner, and only when the slot variables are set. You can refuse the banner. You can also limit ad personalization in the browser.
  • Analytics (e.g. Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics, VibeCafé) — Google Analytics may collect usage data such as page views and approximate location. It is cookie-based and loads only after you accept the consent banner, and only when PUBLIC_GA_ID is set. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless, does not wait for the banner, and loads only when PUBLIC_CF_BEACON_TOKEN is set. VibeCafé is optional product telemetry. It loads only when both PUBLIC_VIBECAFE_PRODUCT_ID and PUBLIC_VIBECAFE_AUTH_KEY are set, and it does not wait for the banner.
  • Cloudflare — the host. Cloudflare may process request data for security and performance, and serves Web Analytics when that token is set.
  • Comments (giscus, opt-in) — the comment block renders only when the giscus environment variables are set. When it is on, giscus.app loads an embedded GitHub view. Viewing it exposes your IP address and browser information to that service. Signing in to comment is handled by GitHub under GitHub's privacy policy.
  • Embedded videos (YouTube) — a page that includes a video loads a thumbnail from i.ytimg.com and, after you press play, the player from youtube-nocookie.com. Until you press play, that player does not set YouTube cookies.

Cookies

The game itself does not use an account cookie. Third-party services listed above set cookies only when they actually load. You can block cookies in the browser. Blocking them does not remove the guides or stop a round from running. It can stop personalized ads.

Children

Rarest Answer is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Affiliation

Rarest Answer is an independent daily trivia game. Pages about other games are unofficial and are not affiliated with those games. This site is not affiliated with Krillion or with any other game named here.
