This Cookie Policy explains how 5letter-words.net uses cookies and similar small storage files in your browser. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle information more broadly.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser. It helps the website remember things between pages and visits, for example whether you have seen a notice before or which settings you chose. Cookies cannot run programs and cannot read other files on your device.
Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: needed for the website and its security features to work properly. The site may not function correctly without these.
- Preference cookies: remember simple choices you make, so the site behaves the way you left it.
- Comment cookies: if you leave a comment on an article, these remember the name and email you typed so you do not have to enter them again next time.
- Performance and caching cookies: our caching and performance tools may use cookies or similar storage to serve pages faster and to understand, in general terms, which articles are read most.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages embed content from other services, such as videos or social posts. Those services can set their own cookies when the embedded content loads, under their own policies. Links to other websites also take you outside our control. We choose embeds carefully, but we cannot switch off cookies set by third parties on their own platforms.
How to Control Cookies
- Every modern browser lets you view, block and delete cookies in its settings. Blocking all cookies may break small conveniences, but the articles on 5 Letter Words will still be readable.
- You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which deletes cookies when you close it.
- If a cookie banner appears on this website, your choice there is saved so we do not ask you on every page.
Changes to This Policy
If our use of cookies changes in an important way, we will update this page and the date at the top.
