Privacy policy

Quizine is a small cooking-knowledge quiz app. This page sets out what data the app handles, where it lives, and the choices you have over it.

What we collect on the server

You can use Quizine without creating an account; in that case nothing identifying is sent to the server beyond the requests needed to load questions. If you choose to sign in with Google, the following is stored against your account:

• Your name, email address, and avatar URL as supplied by Google.
• A Google account identifier so we can recognise you on return visits.
• Your answers (which question, which option, whether it was correct, the level at the time, and the time of the answer) — used to power your stats and the weak-spots feature.

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data via the contact details below.

Google Analytics

The app uses Google Analytics 4 (property G-QBMBBTK119) to understand which questions and categories work and where the experience can improve. We only set analytics cookies and send analytics events after you accept on the consent banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no events are sent.

What Analytics receives:

• Page views and in-app events such as answering a question, opening settings, or installing the PWA. Each event carries non-identifying details: question id, category, level, whether the answer was correct, and the question number within the current play session.
• If you are signed in, your numeric account id (an integer such as 42) so your activity can be joined across devices. Your name and email are not sent.
• Standard Analytics fields such as approximate region (IP-anonymised), device type, and browser.

We do not run advertising, do not use Google's advertising signals, and do not share data with third parties beyond Google itself for the purposes of operating Analytics.

What we store on your device

The app saves your progress to your browser's localStorage so it can resume where you left off. This includes:

• Counts: questions answered, correct answers, current and best streaks, current level.
• Settings: which categories are active, dark-mode preference, auto-advance preference.
• A short list of recently-seen question IDs so the app can avoid repeats.
• Your consent choice for Google Analytics (under the key quizine.consent.v1) so we don't ask you on every visit.

This data never leaves your device. You can clear it at any time from the in-app settings (“Reset stats”), or from your browser's site-data tools.

Cookies and sessions

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics sets a small number of first-party cookies (such as _ga and _ga_QBMBBTK119) used purely to distinguish visitors and sessions in aggregate reporting. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set. If you sign in, a session cookie is set so the app knows you're logged in; it expires when the session ends. If you visit the admin area, the same session cookie is used.

You can change your analytics choice at any time by clearing the quizine.consent.v1 entry in your browser's site-data tools — the banner will appear again next visit.

Service worker and caching

For offline support, the app installs a service worker that caches questions and assets in your browser. This is local-only and is cleared when the service worker is unregistered or the cache is purged.
