Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small files saved by your browser. Local storage keeps settings on this device. Here is what Next Stop Goal uses, and how to control optional usage statistics.

Optional usage statistics
Only if you choose Allow usage statistics, we record a few actions such as using Share, seeing the reminder prompt or completing the introduction. A code derived from the game’s device ID changes each day and deduplicates those events. It is not an advertising profile. These events are not needed to play or sign in.
Choose Necessary only above to stop new usage events. This does not remove events already recorded. No earlier actions are queued or sent when you later allow statistics.

Managing storage
You can remove cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out, reset preferences and remove the link to anonymous game progress.
