Effective September 26, 2026

Liner Note is a free daily game at liner-note.com. There are no accounts, and we never ask for your name or email to play. This page explains the small amount of information involved when you visit.

What stays on your device

Your guesses, scores and streaks are saved in your browser's local storage so the game remembers them. That information stays on your device. We don't collect it, and clearing your browser data erases it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as the pages you visit, how you arrived (for example, from a search or a shared link), your general location (city or region, not your exact address), and your device and browser type. It also records a few game actions: finishing a puzzle, whether you won and in how many tries, and tapping the share button. It does not tell us who you are.

Google processes this information under its own policies. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and you can opt out of Google Analytics on every site with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking cookies in your browser also works.

Advertising

Some pages on Liner Note show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising.

Ads may also be served by other ad vendors and networks that Google works with. Those vendors may use cookies in the same way, and you can use the opt-out links above to manage personalized ads from many of them. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.

Amazon affiliate links

Liner Note is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, Liner Note earns from qualifying purchases. If you click a "Find it on vinyl" link, Amazon may set cookies to credit the referral. We don't receive any information about you or what you buy beyond aggregate sales reports. See Amazon's privacy notice.

Other services the site loads

Sharing your score

When you tap Share your score, the text is passed to your device's share menu or copied to your clipboard. Nothing is sent to us. The shared link includes tags that tell our analytics a visit came from a shared score, without identifying you or the person you sent it to.

What we don't do

We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't build profiles of individual players. Advertising cookies are set by Google and its partners as described above, not by us.

Children

Liner Note is a general-audience site and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If we change how information is handled, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
