At 8 Letter Words, accessible from https://8letterwords.online/, we use cookies on our website. By using our site, you consent to the use of cookies in line with this Cookie Policy. If you’d like more detail on how we handle your information generally, check out our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They’re used widely to make websites work more smoothly, and to give site owners useful information about how visitors use their site.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few different reasons:
- To remember your preferences and settings so we don’t have to ask you every time you visit
- To understand how visitors use our site, which pages get the most traffic, and where people run into trouble
- To help our word-finder tool and other features run properly
- To support the ads that appear on our site
Most of this happens automatically in the background, and it’s what lets us keep 8 Letter Words free to use.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies These are necessary for the website to function properly — things like loading pages correctly and letting our tools run. Without them, parts of the site simply wouldn’t work.
Performance and Analytics Cookies These help us understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and where they came from. We use this information to improve the site over time. This data is aggregated and not used to personally identify you.
Functionality Cookies These remember choices you’ve made on the site, such as preferences, so we can offer a more personalized experience on return visits.
Advertising Cookies Like many websites, we work with third-party vendors, including Google, to display ads. Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites across the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Other third-party ad networks may also place cookies through ads shown on our site. We don’t have access to or control over these cookies, so we’d recommend checking each network’s own policy for details on how they use cookies and how to opt out.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third parties, not by us directly. These typically come from advertising partners or analytics providers. We don’t control how these third parties use their cookies, so we suggest reviewing their individual privacy and cookie policies for more information.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can usually:
- See what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies from being set
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Keep in mind that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of our site — including certain tools and features — may not work as well as they should.

6. Children’s Privacy
We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13 through cookies or any other means. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please reach out and we’ll take steps to remove it.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We’d encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed.
