Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information WSJCrossword.org collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. It was last updated on September 2, 2026.

Information we collect

You can use every part of this site without creating an account or giving us your name. Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical details when you load a page, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of the visit. This information is used to keep the site running, to measure which puzzles and clues are most viewed, and to detect abuse.

If you contact us by email, we keep your message and address for as long as needed to reply and to keep a record of the correspondence.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and, where present, advertising. Analytics cookies help us understand overall traffic and are not used to identify you personally. Advertising partners may set their own cookies to show ads that are relevant to you and to measure how they perform; those partners operate under their own privacy policies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will continue to work.

Third-party services

The site is served through a content delivery network and may load resources from third-party providers for performance, security and advertising. Links to external sites, including the Wall Street Journal, are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

How we use information

• To deliver the pages you request and keep the site secure.
• To understand how the site is used and improve it.
• To respond to your messages.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
