Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 July 2026
Hank’s Games (“we,” “us”) runs the website at hanksgames.com. This is a small, free games site made with young children in mind, and it is built to collect as little information as possible. This policy explains what we collect, what we don’t, and how advertising and cookies work on the site.
The short version
No accounts, no logins, no chat, and no sign-up. We don’t ask children for names, emails, or any personal details. The only things stored about your play are three initials and a score (if you reach a leaderboard), plus a couple of anonymous totals. The one area where outside data may be used is advertising, described below — and because this is a site directed to children, we require advertising to be non-personalized.
What we store
- Leaderboard entries. If you get a top-ten time or score, you type in three initials. Those three characters and your score are saved on our shared leaderboard. They are not a name or anything that identifies a person.
- Anonymous counters. The “visitors” and “games played” totals on the home page are simple aggregate tallies. They are not tied to any individual and are not used to build a profile.
- On your own device only. Games use your browser’s local storage to remember small things like your last initials, your personal best time, and whether you’ve already been asked to rate a game. This information stays on your device, is not sent to us, and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser data.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and there is no way on the site for anyone to submit personal information to us.
Cookies and advertising
To help cover the cost of running the site, Hank’s Games may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. When ads are shown, please be aware that:
- Third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons or your IP address, to collect information as a result of ads being served on this website.
- Because this site is directed to children, we tag it for child-directed treatment. That means advertising is limited to non-personalized ads: interest-based advertising and remarketing are turned off, and ads are not based on tracking a user’s activity across the web.
- We use manual banner placements only. We do not enable full-screen or pop-up style ads that interrupt a game.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps (google.com/policies/privacy/partners). You can review and control your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com.
Children’s privacy (COPPA)
Hank’s Games is treated as a child-directed website under the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we require any advertising on the site to be served in a non-personalized, child-directed manner as described above. If you believe a child has somehow provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Analytics
Beyond the anonymous visitor and play counters described above, we keep this site deliberately light on tracking. If we add any analytics in future, we will update this policy and keep any such measurement anonymous and aggregate.
Links to other sites
Ads and occasional links may lead to websites we don’t control. This policy only covers Hank’s Games; other sites have their own privacy practices, and we encourage grown-ups to review them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change means the updated policy applies.
